Will this HDMI to S-Video Adapter work with MiSTer FPGA?

Unread post by pbsk8 »

I have a CRT tv 21'' with s-video and I would like to know if I use this hdmi to s-video adapter will work on my tv, changing anything on mister.ini would make it recognize this cable?

Currently I use a 27'' monitor lcd fullHD with hdmi cable.

It'll most certainly output 480i/576i and will probably introduce lag. Devices like that aren't intended for video games.

You'll want this when it's ready: viewtopic.php?f=29&t=1122

but this device, the svideo is in the board

In my case the tv has svideo input, would it have to be a cable svideo end connected to this board and another end s-video connected to my tv?

in case I find a crt tv with component, what cable is better recommended?

hdmi to component or vga to component? This latter I worry about how to get sound from the mister to the tv.

Most consumer scalers see 240p as 480i and will be laggy, at best it would be consistent lag at worst the dreaded variable lag. You are better off just getting the new S-Video / composite adapter https://misterbits.fwscart.com/product_ ... 14892.aspx
