Are you sure it is cracked? When I look at your photo, to me it looks like a black line on top of the chip. Yes it is actually cracked, I felt it with my nail. Here is my HDMI to VGA adapter and most likely it would work just as well but I don't want to mod it because I use it the way it is sometimes: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MS611LJ I...

If the HDMI to VGA is working for you, what more are you looking to gain from the enjoyGadgets converter? The only thing I can think of is it has a switch on it if you wanted to hook up a VGA monitor. It might look better too. I agree, and I will probably return the enjoyGadgets converter, unless I find a good way to use it and keep it as backup (...

When you use the HDMI to VGA cable with the SOG mod, does the Genesis core have the flashing issue? No, it syncs instantly, and works very well even when loading a ROM or when a game changes video mode back and forth, as long as it is not in EU (Pal) mode. Regarding learning, there are a couple of video timings calculators websites. I put in the r...

There is a little switch on the component converter. Make sure it is set to the component position. Use RCA cables with the converter, not the VGA cable. Here are my ini settings that work with direct_video=1: direct_video=1 forced_scandoubler=0 hdmi_limited=1 vsync_adjust=2 ypbpr=0 composite_sync=0 vga_scaler=0 video_mode=640,30,60,70,240,4,4,14,...

With YPbPr output, I could not get it to work. I tried all combinations of direct_video, ypbpr, and composite_sync. None worked. Maybe here too with direct_video off and a custom video_mode it would have a chance? I don't know. With mine the Component output with direct_video only works on the menu. I think because the menu uses standard timings. ...

Hi guys, I received the EnjoyGadgets HDMI to VGA & Component YPbPr Converter 2019 V2 today, and had a little time to try it out. Here's what I know so far: The audio RCA out works great. I even have hdmi_audio_96k=1 and no problem. I did not try the optical out but I suspect it works too. With the VGA output, and using my VGA to component cable...

Thanks for the update. I am somewhat surprised that the HDMI to VGA adapter can handle component signals. I have this cable, and it might work without any mods. I will have to give it a try: https://www.summitsource.com/Eagle-6-FT-VGA-Component-Cable-RGB-Python-3-RCA-Male-to-Male-HD-15-Gold-HDTV-SVGA-Cable-Python-D-Sub-Component-RGB-Ivory-24-K-Gol...

I have three of those converters. One works perfectly. One works mostly. One doesn't work at all. I can't remember what the difference is with the one that works mostly, but I think it had trouble with some edge case timings that would work with the "perfect" converter. I think they have gone through several revisions over the years and ...

I meant the Sync on Green diode & resistor hack is not compatible with all TV's because it is just a hack. The RGB2Comp has proper RGB to YPbPr conversion so it should have no compatibility problems. Of course you could try the mod and see if it works first before buying something like the RGB2Comp. You're right, I'll try that before going for...

Thanks for confirming that the converter in the pictures above does not work in direct video mode in combination with being in HDMI to yPbPr mode. 1- What about when used in HDMI to yPbPr mode, with direct_video off: can the mister output 480i to connect it to a consumer CRT TV component input? I assume that in that case the same scaler and lag as ...

Hi guys, sorry to resurrect this thread! My appologies if this is not allowed. I am new to MiSTer and the forums, but I searched a lot for threads with a clear solution. I am looking at buying a similar converter box I found on amazon, and was wondering if you can give an update or conclusion on how good of a solution this is. I am looking to use t...
