    Default AV or S-Video mods for Ti-99/4A and Vic-20

    Topic title says it all. I am actually just trying to get away from the RF cables, as I tend to pick up a lot of interference and I just plain don't like the quality of the output.

    You can build your own AV cables with a DIN5 lead and a regular AV cable.

    I have a few commodore av cables, also have a bunch of games carts I don't need.

    as for s-vid, it would depend on the video chip inside.

    I may actually end up just building my own. I love working on projects like that.

    Okay I've finally gotten some freetime to do this. Will this method work with building S-Video cables if so, which systems will it work for.

    Thanks.
