Jaynz Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Well, had a friend of mine, a local game store owner and tech, mod my 7800. I cannot believe how much of a difference this made, pretty graphics, crisp sound. Sadly my TV has been taken over by the kidlets and their Wii U... but clear 7800 gaming will be mine! MINE! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tartfox Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 (edited) What type of video mod are we talking about here?

(And it's usually the only slots open on any given TV in the house. HDMI is taken up with the new-gen stuff.) Matt did an amazing job of the mounts as well, as they look like they belong on the 7800. I'll try to get pictures up in the near future, in between the myriad of other things I need to get done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have any more info on this? I'd live to try a DIY HDMI mod if I knew the wiring. Edited April 19, 2016 by 78001987 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tartfox Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 ooooooooh. Do you have any more info on this? I'd live to try a DIY HDMI mod if I knew the wiring. Sorry, no more info on this. I was just as surprised as you when i first saw the HDMI option! But, we might have to contact the seller to see if they can offer any advice on how they did it.

For anyone else who is wondering. A Component YPbPr mod/HDMI mod is not possible on the 7800 Edited April 22, 2016 by SwampFox56 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+-^CrossBow^- Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Correct that auction listed above is simply cramming a composite/s-video to HDMI converter inside the 7800 and then running an HDMI cable out the back. You can tell this from the screen shot that has the two small buttons. Those are from the converter box to select between 50hz/60hz and 720p/1080p selections. I use the same type only not crammed into my consoles and instead have it velcro attached on the side of my console cabinet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
