Ps2 Vga Adapter

[edthehead]

Hey I had this old ps1 lcd screen and the lcd was broken so I took it apart and tried using the av cable part that goes into the back of the console, I wanted to make a vga adapter since my monitor supports sog. Pinouts anyone ?

[NFG]

The PSone LCD screen doesn't support VGA.  The PSone screen doesn't require SoG.  The pinouts for the PSone are on GameSX.com.

The screen is usless but i have the cable part that goes into the console i want to connect it to a vga female connector.  Where i live you cant buy a component cable to mod

[NFG]

Maybe you can tell us what you're trying to do?

Also, if you have the pinout from gamesx.com and you have the cable in your hand, what's the puzzle?

And you realize VGA isn't anything like component, right?

Ed, it sounds like you want to use a scavenged connector to construct a cable with a 15-pin D-sub connector at one end and a PS2 A/V connector at the other. It's not clear from your second post, but you're implying that your monitor is able to accept sync-on-green at the 15 kHz rate. Is that all correct?

yep you got it man your good

I don't want to be unkind, but proper grammar and punctuation means that nobody has to go to the trouble of decoding your posts. Being understood the first time around will go a long way towards getting you the help you're asking for.

Be advised that the plug on your PSOne screen may or may not have the RGB pins actually connected to wires. While some of the Sony-branded screens made use of the RGB pins, many first-party and third-party screens did not so that all DVD playback functions from the PS2 would remain compatible with the screen. For pinouts, please have a look at the GamesX link for the Playstation A/V multiport here:

http://www.gamesx.com/avpinouts/psxav.htm

Incidentally, that link appears in the left pane of the main GamesX page. Relevant pins are 9, 11, and 12. You should use a multimeter or other common continuity tester and see if any of the wires at the other end actually connect to those pins.

No it doesn't come with a vga hook up, but with proper pinouts it can be done. I've only done this with a real psone screen in my car as my headup display on a thin client. Well a thin client turned into a fatter clientless device (mini-pc) and also added touchscreen membrain for touch and click of lcd and printed out keyboard and specialized buttons on part of the membrane that stuck out from lcd screen area. Don't lie to the nOOb just tell him/her to be more specific with his info.

v g a   -     PSone

1         -     11    R

3         -      9     B
13+14  -      5   sync
9          -    10     +5v (use current reg resistor) can also add alt pwr

11+14 - short out vga to turn monitor on in bios

So you're saying that the OEM PSOne screen will support 31 kHz sync input? That's part of the VGA definition, 640x480 at so many colors and a 31 kHz sync horizontal sync rate. More likely, your thin client machine putout a 15 khz signal or could be hacked to do so. I doubt that the PSOne screen would support textbook VGA, else it would be more popular for PC hacking projects.

Remember, we're talking about video signal types and not connector types. More to the point, it wasn't clear at first whether or not Ed was trying to do any kind of signal conversion with his mod. So Lawrence's information was correct but not relevant to this topic.

-KKC, who has an old Wyse terminal lying around that he should do something with.

I don't want to sound stupid here or anything.
But when you set the PS2 to RGB mode and select "progressive" on a game it outputs progressive RGB, (I myself do not have a progressive TV, but it still displays, it just rolls and makes a nice high pitched sqeule) -

Is the PS2 Outputting SyoG when displaying a prog. Scan game in RGB mode?
Or is it merly outputting composite sync?

[Endymion]

I have a few RGB monitors that go to VGA sync levels. They all work with a sync-on-green signal. My 50" Plasma TV does this as well--in fact it can take the VGA signal on the same inputs that component comes in through, so all I need to do is change a setting with the remote control to take it in properly. Being that they all work with a sync-on-green I cannot answer your question as I get a proper picture with them, but if my reads of several VGA/PS2 threads are correct then yes, both for the Blaze and any homebrew cable, the PS2 should be sending out a sync-on-green signal unless you removed it or did an RARusk and prevented it from being mixed in the first place.
