If no RGB TV, nor RGB to HDMI converter then I think the best you can mod is composite video or just use the O2's RF output. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+grips03 Posted April 19, 2020 Author Share Posted April 19, 2020 Here are two photos. Notice where the DIN-8 is placed on the O2 (top photo). This provide tons of room inside the O2 console and externally it does not interfere with the O2's voice module. Additionally using DIN-8 allows one to use the same RGB cable for Videopac G7400 RGB enabled console (bottom photo). It's best to use Euro SCART wiring as this allows the Videopac G7400 to use PAL to NTSC capable RGB to HDMI devices that have Euro SCART connector.

ozyr Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 I am curious, for those modding their O2 for RGB, what monitors are you using. I have never seen and 8pin RBG connector, ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+KylJoy Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 I use the 8-pin connectors since I have cables to convert to SCART OR plug directly into the input for an xRGB-mini. Those 8-pin mini DINs are sort'a the standard for RGB modding consoles. But you can really use whatever you like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+grips03 Posted July 10, 2020 Author Share Posted July 10, 2020 Exactly uses anything you like on the console side. I just use the DIN 8 as that is what the Videopac uses. On the upscaler side I just use Euro SCART as that is what many upscalers have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+grips03 Posted July 12, 2020 Author Share Posted July 12, 2020 Thought this picture would help those who use the DIN-8 connector on the O2. I now make sure the ribbon cable colors match the colors below. SD-80LS (DIN-8 connector) needs 18mm hole. I use step drill bit that has 18mm as one of the steps. 45/64 would work as well, but 18mm seems easier to find. Its best to mount SD-80LS with notch facing up. This is how the stock Videopac+ is. OSSC, XRGB, PVM/BVM don't need Status RGB, but some devices might. If you do need it simply wire the signal to the DIN-8 as the signal is present on the RGB mod board. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twoquickcapri Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Final got around to installing the RGB board in my O2. Think I bought back in early 2017. Also found a nice silver 13 inch RGB monitor to go with it. The monitor is a Panasonic Ct-1300D. Did want to drill a hole in the case. Reused the RF hole. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
