First Post.
I am thinking of modding my SNES Mk.II to output either S-video or RGB for the new LCD HDTV I might be buying soon. I've been doing some research and as of right now, I'm leaning towards doing the S-video mod but mostly because its easier to implement but I'd be willing to do RGB if I could get some clarifications.
1. RGB, as far as I know, is not the same as YPbPr so I wouldn't be able to easily plug my RGB wires into the YPbPr ports on the TV?
2. Could a VGA port be used to display RGB from my SNES, if I figured out a way to connect them?
3. VGA inputs require sync signals(usually vertical and horizontal).While there is a composite sync signal pin in the SNES is that signal alone enough to use a VGA port? And if so is it vertical or horizontal.
4. Most modders use a SCART cable to output RGB, however VGA Ports only accept video inputs. Are there SCART cables available that have seperate RCA plugs for sound outputs or will I have to splice my own.
5. Since I have a NTSC SNES, I'll need to make sure to have capacitors on the RGB outputs. How can I be sure that the SCART cable needed has these capacitors, or if not is it easy to pull apart the SCART cable and put it back together again (especially back together again).
Whew that was a lot. If anybody has some input it would be much appreciated.
