+Yurkie Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 (edited) Not good production quailty on the video, but should give you a good idea how clean an image you get. Edited January 12, 2015 by Yurkie 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Yurkie Posted January 12, 2015 Author Share Posted January 12, 2015 Looks damn good to me sir. Thank You. It was a lot of hard work, time and money. It is very rewarding to see the ColecoVision in RGB after playing the Genesis and NESRGB modded NES. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg2600 Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Actually a very good video, makes it clear what you will see in person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tron Unit Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Wow! The difference in quality between composite and RGB is night and day! I just did the composite mod myself today but that looks incredible! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariBrian Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Seeing it in person is even much better also I might add . A good thing about the Framemeister is the ability to turn scanlines on and off . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sega_SHARK Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Super crispy. RGB is an improvement. Even with the $50 upscaler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zenimus Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 It looks really sharp! I appreciate all the effort you went through to make this happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiLic0ne t0aD Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Looks great, even with the cheaper scaler..impressive, I'm definitely interested when I get my new tv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Loguidice Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 I'll do a "direct" capture video of the RGB output of the ColecoVision going to an XRGB Mini at 1080p (albeit only capturing on the device at 720p due to laziness) after it arrives. I'll try to show both composite and RGB, expecting of course the latter to look spectacular. Here's the Adam outputting composite to the XRGB Mini as a point of comparison: http://armchairarcade.com/perspectives/2015/01/03/video-of-the-coleco-adam-output-on-xrgb-mini-framemeister/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vectorman Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 I'm confused. Why bother going through the work of modding the CV to output RGB and not component video, especially if you live in North America? Our TV's don't have SCART connectors. Since the CV video chip puts out component video signal already, isn't it easier to adapt that to TV levels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since the CV video chip puts out component video signal already, isn't it easier to adapt that to TV levels? Some of us in North America like SCART and use things like SCART to HDMI or the Framemeister to get the type of output we want on modern displays. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg2600 Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 (edited) Another reason is that HDTV's frequently have problems with low-res signals over component video. That is what has pushed people like me into RGB SCART to upscaler to HDMI setups. A more aesthetic reason is that having 5 rca jacks (7 with audio) carved into a classic console looks hideous! With SCART, it's just one jack on the system. If you want composite, S-Video, component or C-Sync RGB out of there, you can get any of them from one SCART cable.

Zenimus Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Even component video has been getting phased out from most TVs being sold here in the US. Now it's all HDMI. Using an external upscaler like the XRGB Framemeister not only makes all your old consoles future proof, it scales the images up much better than any TV's internal scaler.

ApolloBoy Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Since the CV video chip puts out component video signal already, isn't it easier to adapt that to TV levels?It's also worth mentioning that getting useable component video out of the TMS9928 is a bit of a challenge. Doing a simple mod involving a few resistors works OK on a few displays but for the most part you'll get a bluish tint. Even if you adjust the picture to get rid of the bluish tint, you'll get dulled yellows. I have to wonder if this new mod is based on the Vidiot board that was used in Baby Pac-Man and the like, is that the case Todd? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NIAD Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Is there some site where this mod is described? There is a lengthy thread on here somewhere detailing 5-11under's Component Video Mod board which I'm not even sure is available anymore.

Rogjo Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Video looks good, the screen shots in rgb look amazing. I'll be sending you my system soon for the mod. Great job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
