I meant for component video, which normally only has three inputs, it's missing one for sync, unless you used sync on green, which I think a few Sony TV's can. Didn't you have to feed the projector a clean sync rather than cvideo?

Yeah, I have to use c-sync instead of composite.
I'm saying that it would be possible for a TV to get RGB through component input, and the sync from composite (with an internal sync stripper).

but where would the sync connect to.. I mean red to Y, green to Pb and blue to Pr, then there's nowhere for sync to connect to?

It could read it from the composite input...

I suppose, are there any TV's that actually support this though?

No idea. It's just a theory on how it could *possibly* work.

Well that kind of sucks. Is there any better connector I could use for RGB, that is standard on today's flat TVs? Scart kinda sucks to be honest and it would be nice to have a practical method of circumventing this.

There is no other standard, and Scart is fine as long as you are not using a cheap shitty cable.

I suppose if you wanted to you could even solder extra wires to give you a Composite, S-Video, and Audio RCA ports on the back next to the Scart connector, should you want/need to do so.

There are premade converters for that mind you. Scart already carries audio and composite, and you won't have to worry about interference since the rest of the pins aren't connected. S-Video is tricker, but why bother with that when you already have RGB?

I was just thinking right now: Why not just tap directly into the DIN port behind the case, and make an external SCART adapter? That would avoid having to modify the console case itself.

Because 10pin mini-din plugs are not available for sale unless you bulk order a thousand from china.

No, I mean shoving copper wire into each hole on the DIN socket and then wiring that to a scart socket for the cable.

That wouldn't be very secure, there would be nothing holding the cable and it could fall out / break contact easily.

Sorry for digging this thread up, guys, i removed the wrong diode while modding my va7 saturn motherboard for a pal rgb cable. What should i do? is there any way to replace the diode with another type? Thanks!
