The current model of SuperNOVA includes three video outputs: composite video (ugh), s-video, and RGB. Unless you have some old model, you should have those video outputs already with your SuperNOVA.

Here's a link to the MAS Systems description of the Super NOVA:

Hi.

OK I got an older model look like - only composite coming out and a 8 din in back.

Now that I'm stuck with this can I put Svideo on it?

I'm not sure . . . I'll leave that question to Jeff Kurtz, the resident expert on all things Neo. If anyone can answer it, he can . . . and if anyone can DO it, he would be the one.

However, if I were you I'd look to dump your old-model SuperNOVA and get a new model that includes s-video.

For arcade boards, your best bet is to use the RGB->NTSC board from http://www.jrok.com -- the last I checked, it ran around $80. This is the same board that is used in a couple other SuperGun devices.

Jeff,

Thanks for the reply - I will probably get a new Super Nova or a Jamma Cabinet next year.

You should call up MAS and ask him if he can upgrade your SuperNOVA. He will charge you a fee and you will have to ship your system to him but this will most certainly be cheaper than buying a new one. In my dealings with MAS I have found that he is willing to do custom work at very reasonable prices.
