towmater Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 I found this in a slick road case at the thrift shop for $12. I mainly wanted the case, but I plugged an Amiga 2000 into it and "flicker-be-gone". This worked a little better than a Scart-HDMI convertor because it doesn't have the interlace corruption around the mouse pointer. I gather there will be a bunch of such interim technology, from the era when TV stations were converting over to HD, flooding the used market soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+GoldLeader Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Nice! And you can't go wrong for $12 anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+chue Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Looks like you got a deal, because these things are averaging $100 on eBay. I myself am contemplating a budget board for my A500 that runs around $20 - $30 on eBay. You can find it bysearching for GBS8200. There are some complaints on the net about picture quality but I figure it is better than what I have nowwhich is the black and white RCA output.

towmater Posted December 15, 2017 Author Share Posted December 15, 2017 GBS is a viable option, although I was never satisfied with the extent of distortion, and a $12 Amiga SCART cable + an Amazon etc. SCART to HDMI convertor offers a much sharper and brighter picture, except for the minor distortion around moving objects. Incidentally that white cable in the picture is a CGA cable plugged into a C128 digital VGA convertor board, which seems to work well with old Tandy computers as well. There are also a slew of RGB and other crazy connectors on the back of the Sony thing that I'll have to play with someday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
