Video - S-Video & Composite. Uses a standard off the shelf Playstation A/V port cable. And for all you SCART/RGB users, those cables work, too.

This may be redundant, but I’d rather ask than assume: does this mean component cables will work as well?

[rivals]

This looks really awesome.

Nice RGB monitor

I created a thread for you at dontblowthis.com forums:

Tons of fun playing on this, thanks a bunch undamned. Even your ‘rushed’ demonstration board was solid and super clean looking, and I know Sabre and few other folks where crazy interested in it when I was explaining it to them when you weren’t at the station.

Thanks, for the free publicity, guys!

looks good

This looks really awesome.

Haha, thanks! I’m fairly OCD when it comes to aesthetic stuff.

Nice RGB monitor

Thanks! That thing is old as the hills and still serves me well! :tup:

Well, as much as that Sony Playstation AV port is on all of their home systems, the video encoder is the one from the original Playstation, which means: no, it won’t do component. Though, you can pick up a nice RGBS -> Component video transcoder for ~$50 on ebay (http://www.ebay.com/itm/220698772855). Be aware that just because a TV has component inputs, it is not guaranteed to support all resolutions (i.e. 240p).

I am very hype for this as well. So I’m assuming this set up supports one game at a time? Forgive me if that was a dumb q.

[deadfrog]

It’s so awesome I want to cry.

Yep, I know none of the ones in my home do. Ah well. That’s where my trusty ega/cga->vga upscaler comes into play.

nice work. USB inputs should be interesting.

When can we expect the Naomi version?

[Missing_Person]

Any chance for PAL support without the need for a converter?

[rcaido]

Will this still work on an arcade cab?

[emphatic]

Awesome work, man.

[undamned]

Any chance for PAL support without the need for a converter?

Hadn’t even crossed my mind! It’s not on my todo list, so if it happens, it will certainly not be at the initial release. Most folks I know from PAL countries who are really into video games also have an NTSC setup for JP/US imports.

When can we expect the Naomi version?

Hmm, doubtful anytime soon?

Will this still work on an arcade cab?

Nope. A boards are cheap, so if you have a cab, keep one for that The intent of this device is to reach outside the arcade savvy audiences, so I’m making zero effort to retain those functions.

Ok, so I had a moment on my lunch break to fire up the oscope @ work. I haven’t spent much time with code cleanup, aside from commenting out some blatant time eaters. Response time seems all over the place. Best response was an acceptable 2ms, whereas the worst was a staggering 40ms. I’ll be spending more time with my code to better diagnose the cause of those spikes in latency.

That aside, I was quite pleased that not only did my USB host board program on the first try, but the i/o routines I had written before receiving my boards worked without a hitch It’s fun to win!

Any chance you’ll make just the USB -> JAMMA component available?

[undamned]

Well, it won’t be USB->JAMMA, but more likely a USB->Discrete Outputs or DB-15 or something that you can wire up yourself.

yo this thread is BUMPIN

soon you’ll have to hire an agent or a secretary to handle all of your PR

[lolmark]

Very interested in this project!!

[aggro_crag]

I can’t wait for this. Looking forward to placing an order.

PAL TVs should still come with SCART sockets, even nowadays. If the thing’s wired for RGB+Sync on the proper pins, it should still work with a SCART TV that does RGB over SCART.

(Problem being that some SCART sockets only use the composite pins, and not the full RGB+Sync.)

Well, I have a Chinese HDTV that appears not to have an SCART socket. So I think it won’t be working on this.
