Ransom Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 That's a great s-video jack. I'd love to have something like that for my systems! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longhorn Engineer Posted March 17, 2009 Author Share Posted March 17, 2009 lgallair that is a slick set up there! If you don't mind I will add that as an alt method of installation on my website. A little update on the 7800 mod. Found the perfect chroma switch IC. The Ti TS5A3159ADCKR is a 2:1 Analog mux its surface mount. It is a little bit smaller then the FMS6400 but it shouldn't be to bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer jacks but if there is enough interest I can see if I can scourge up some cables for cheap? If anyone kind find a source for cables that work out to about $4-$5 per cable after shipping then I can do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ransom Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 I would be most interested in using the cable instead of the jacks. I'd definitely pay more for a kit that included a cable so I didn't have to find one myself and figure out the wiring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vectorman0 Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 I grabbed some pictures of the mod a while ago but forgot to post them. I still haven't made time to diagnose the problem I was having with composite video. The s-video output looks so good, I have little reason to even have composite output! I think it's just a simple grounding issue anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone kind find a source for cables that work out to about $4-$5 per cable after shipping then I can do it. I was planning to do this when I get around to modding my 7800. DealExtreme would be my first bet for a cheap cable like this: http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.5190 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HARMIK Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Thats really nice work on the back there Vectorman0, Longhorn can you make my two units look like that. I think the S-Video looks a lot nicer without the screw marks, happy to pay extra for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempy Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Any update on PAL compatibility? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longhorn Engineer Posted March 20, 2009 Author Share Posted March 20, 2009 Any update on PAL compatibility? Haven't heard from mimo yet. I just received a PAL board from HARMIK so soon? Oh and orders for the 2600 are open again. I will be updating my website everyday from now on. Even if I haven't built anything I will post something. There is a RSS feed for my website.

Spazmonkey Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Something happened to the mod. It seems that when I have the s-video plugged in, I only get black and white. When I take out the s-vid and use composite, I get partial coloration, and some bleeding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mimo Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Sorry for the delay PAL people, I suffer from depression, quite badly at times, and when it hits I can barely get out of bed some days. Anyway, finally finished building the first PCB tonight, so will try and get things hooked up at the weekend with longhorns help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InactiveX Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 So sorry to hear that mimo. Hope you feel better soon. Very much looking forward to your PAL updates. Take care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vectorman0 Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 The ports I used are from Parts Express. The RCA jacks have nice solder terminals. The s-video jack however is just a coupler, and is enormous. If I remember correctly, it needs a 5/8" opening (maybe a tad more) and the entire piece is almost an inch in diameter.

It's big enough that you can easily use a tubing cutter to open it and expose the wires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
