MAME 15khz on CRT tv ?

Post by Lowrent »

Ok, i've fine-tooth combed the net for about 3 hours now... Can't find a clear answer.

I want to build a MAME using a 27-inch Sony Wega Trinitron.

Signal path would be : PC -> video card in 15khz mode -> VGA (RGB) -> some kind of converter -> TV Component input (YUV)

Almost all posts i've read talk about the Crescendo Systems TC1600 VGA to Component transcoder. It is discontinued :evil:

Other more recent posts mention the CVS-287 converter (SCART to Component). I would need to make a VGA to SCART cable and mix the sync signals using a 74LS86 chip. Yuk.

Also, someone in Brazil is making a RGB to YUV converter. I'll contact him.

So, my question is : "Has anyone managed to build a 15khz Mame with an old school tv (not an arcade monitor) ?"

On a sidenote, I already know i'll need a fast CPU and a video card compatible with Soft15khz (or something similar but newer).

Merci Phil, j'avais pas vu ce blog.
Vraiment très intéressant, je bookmarque aussitôt.

Mais...
This guide also assumes that you’re gaming on a proper RGB CRT monitor.
Je veux utiliser une bonne vieille télé pour pouvoir 1) rien payer 2) brancher mon PS2.

Je pourrai surement choisir une carte ATI sur laquelle je pourrai utiliser le converter DVI->Component à 5$, que j'ai commandé.

À suivre
