tripletopper Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 (edited) I have found an eBay auction which lists the pin mappings of a SCART to VGA adapter so you can play SCART video games like the Genesis, Saturn, Dreamcast, Master System, and SNES on a CRT VGA with low enough ping to have less than one frame delay? Is it as simple as a pin swap, or must it go through an active converter (which takes some time, therefore possible ping) to complete the conversion? They even list the pin connections on the auction. Here is the link: https://www.ebay.com/i/183668254594?chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-117182-37290-0&mkcid=2&itemid=183668254594&targetid=935694487906&device=m&mktype=pla&googleloc=9015386&poi=&campaignid=10876471603&mkgroupid=107964302620&rlsatarget=pla-935694487906&abcId=9300401&merchantid=113269225&gclid=Cj0KCQjwk8b7BRCaARIsAARRTL7pDxDBqsqkIxXSsJOLD6Z3U2LFJtvVSwqyEl1OBykBXfA_GcCHa0YaAjJmEALw_wcB Edited September 28, 2020 by tripletopper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr_me Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Vga technically is rgb but it starts at 31khz. The rgb from the video games are about 15khz. Most vga monitors don't scan down lower than 31khz. The sync signals are different too. If your vga monitor is not compatible with the rgb signals you'll need a proper converter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tripletopper Posted September 29, 2020 Author Share Posted September 29, 2020 I'm looking on eBay for SCART to VGA converters, that that was the only one I found listed. Is there a place where I could buy a 15kHz media to 31 kHz display adapter? (I guess search for that.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derFunkenstein Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 that's not a converter, it's a pin adapter. It doesn't change the signal in any way. You need something to upscale the 15 kHz signal to 31 kHz and split the sync so that Hsync and Vsync are on different pins. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tripletopper Posted September 29, 2020 Author Share Posted September 29, 2020 Yes I know some things are not as simple as just moving pins. I'm just searched on eBay Amazon and Newegg for some kind of pre-built adapter to convert scart to VGA. considering one isn't readily available the chances of it being cheap are pretty rare. Plus we don't know what would that do to ping time. That's why I currently on eBay I'm selling my Sega SCART adapters, because in the United States they seem to be more trouble than they're worth. instead of sinking in more money and possibly being a frame or more behind make money and give someone else the chance to make that work. Look under my eBay username tripletopper for my eBay auctions for Segs SCART adapters. I have all four Genesis 1 / Mega Drive 1/ Master System,. The Genesis 2 / Mega Drive 2 / 32 x, Saturn and the Dreamcast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
