Help needed

[Andres]

Hi, I'm having trouble finding a pinout scheme that allow me to build a cable to connect my Playstation 2 to an old Commodore 1084s-D1 RGB Monitor (this monitor has a DB9 connector, not the round DIN like) that I actually use with a Commodore Amiga 500.



This link shows my monitor's pinout

Thanks a lot!!!

You'll need to use an LM1881 or similar IC to generate a composite sync signal from the Playstation's composite video. You can power the IC from the +5v line available. See http://www.gamesx.com/wiki/doku.php?id=av:playstationav

Yeah, I'll need one of those LM1881 but I'm affraid that they are a little bit difficult to get one in my contry (Argentina)

Depending on what model PS2 you have you may be able to just get it off the motherboard. But it also depends on your technical skill. The PS2 isn't an easy machine to work with.

Andres,
I'm sure you'll be able to find an LM1881 localy if you look around. Try TV spare parts suppliers.

Thanks evryone! I've managed to locate a shop that sells Lm1881 here.
I'll be posting the results by the weekend.

See you

Hi there, I've finally finished the RGB cable build and I'm using the commodore 1084s D1 with a slim-line playstation 2.

The results are outstanding, the about 20 years old monitor shows an excellent image quality.
They didn't lie when they say that RGB is the real way to play console video games.

Thanks so much to Viletim and RARusk for the support, the info you gave me was most appreciated.

Hasta la vista!

If only I was brave enough to crack my LCD TV open and add some direct lines to it's encoder......I don't have the room for another monitor here just to use for the purpose of having RGB ouput, but I'd sure like to see the difference in person.
