easy DIY rgb to hdmi adapter.

[Kjmann]

the company, LEVELHIKE has a Playstation rgb to hdmi adapter that is very easily converted to the Amiga. here is a instruction pdf that I made for doing it. it works very well. I play Battle Squadron on a regular basis and don't notice any lag to speak of. hope some people can find this useful. 

the color of the sync line and ground line seems to vary depending on the version of the adapter. the current version seems to be yellow for sync and brown for ground. 

the new version of the adapter also has a couple of new features. 

1, the chips now have heatsinks. 

2, the adapter now goes to sleep if no signal for two minutes (flip the aspect ratio switch to wake it back up). 

Here's a link to the adapter on Amazon.

Do you have some Workbench/Games screenshots you can share?

thanks

these videos are only in 480p at 30fps. but hopefully it gives you an idea..... 

the actual adapter outputs at 720p.

no problem.  ?

another cool thing is that the adapter will resize a pal screen to fit the TV.

Nice.  so, mine is hooked up as:

 

RED -> RED

GREEN -> GREEN

BLUE -> BLUE

YELLOW -> CSYNC

BROWN -> GROUND

ORANGE AND WHITE -> AUDIO

 

But what are the gray, purple and black wires signals?

Sounds like a good solution!
