Since when are DIN jacks proprietary?Because i did mod it. I did'nt buy a cable because i am against expensive proprietary cables and connectors.
Because i did mod it. I did'nt buy a cable because i am against expensive proprietary cables and connectors. I am modding all of my consoles to use standard VGA ports with standard VGA pinouts so i can use standard vga cables to hook them up with a standard vga switch.
Exactly.VGA (DE-15) is no more of a standard connector than mini DIN or Scart - seems a bit pointless trying to reinvent the wheel especially since from an aesthetic perspective these mods aren’t particularly pleasing to the eye.
Nope. Nope, you're eyes are broken. Look to the left (and slightly up) from the serial port to see the detestableness.The genesis 1 looks clean with it because it replaced the serial port
joined the PVM club today
got a sony PVM-20M2U complete with a traveling case.
Nice, great PVM, I have the same one.
(btw, sorry for not replying to you earlier, why can't you receive PMs? I don't really want to derail threads with personal talk)
Yeah I lost my privileges because I wasn't contributing enough to the community. Ive been trying to post a bunch more and started a forums fantasy football league so hopefully one day ill get able to gain access to the restricted stuff again.
my username on KLOV is the same is you're on there or my email is dave 69337 @ g mail if you want to email me directly.
Actually I bolted it down with the standoffs like you're supposed to.I can relate to wanting something universal to hook the consoles up with, it's just when you hack a hole into the console and then (I assume) glue down the vga port, it's just very sloppy. The genesis 1 looks clean with it because it replaced the serial port, unsure how you were able to keep it stable without some sort of glue or something. But the Saturn just looks horribly mangled.

Oooh. I bet that will make you feel big and powerful.I know what I'll be doing this morning...
They aren't, but that weird one on the saturn is.Since when are DIN jacks proprietary?
I don't look at my consoles, i play them. They aren't exactly "art". Its a cheap piece of plastic that was basically marketed as a toy. They are cheap as hell, easy to find, and extremely common.VGA (DE-15) is no more of a standard connector than mini DIN or Scart - seems a bit pointless trying to reinvent the wheel especially since from an aesthetic perspective these mods aren’t particularly pleasing to the eye.
I dunno, I wouldn't call them sloppy. But its meant to function, not be shown off.Exactly.
Sloppy and redundant mods are sloppy and redundant. You'll get no fans here for that kinda work.
Detestableness. Nice.Nope. Nope, you're eyes are broken. Look to the left (and slightly up) from the serial port to see the detestableness.
were. they WERE broken. get your tenses rightOh wow. They are indeed broken.
Seriously if you need a vga port buy a bit of cable, a din connector, and a VGA port (with a hood). Building a small adapter with those parts is far cleaner and faster than doing such hack jobs to your console. The 262 din connector can be found here if you can not find somewhere local that carries it. Learn how to build cables, it is seriously far easier and cleaner than these types of "mods". Those consoles might have been broken but there really is no reason to perform a hack job on them, especially when there are easier ways of doing it.

Is that a threat?

Well considering i started with an empty shell, a broken board, and a spare CPU, and I've had that unit for going on a decade now. I think they're doing rather nicely. If it works, and is reliable, and was already "rekt", who gives a shit? Also thanks for the link.
There are plenty of other consoles out there that are pampered and taken care of and polished and kept in hermetically sealed cases. I just want to use mine. I don't understand why you guys give a shit what MY consoles look like. They are for playing, and anything that keeps them playing is okay in my book. Now, I wouldn't do it to anything rare or collectible, but damn. You guys here treat these things like they're made of solid gold and unicorn farts. Loosen up a bit, it's not the end of the world.
If you guys are getting so bent out of shape over those, you should have seen the stack of consoles that were scavenged for parts, or used in other hacks and projects. You would blow a fuse!
Any body ever played a Neo on a Sony Wega 27'' TV? Or any 27'' CRT for that matter?
I found one, in great condition on CL... $40. The only thing I am sort of afraid of is the screen being a bit too big and might show the Neo's age a little too much. I currently play with a Panasonic Tau, 20'' with component video. I'm sort of used to the 20'' screen and fear the 27'' will look like shite.
I don't use hot glue. They are bolted in using the standoffs. Just like I said above.No one is blowing a fuse but you. It has nothing to do with keeping it pristine but doing unnecessary and sloppy work. I'm all for modding systems however these types of "mods" are just downright unnecessary if you know how to make a simple cable yourself. I gave you constructive criticism, take it or leave it but don't get mad at it.
**edit**
Are those ports hot glued? If so that is pretty bad from a modders stand point and is Drakon level mod work.
Thanks Skips.
Hey I never noticed you lived in AZ. How the fuck did you score a PVM in this state? Dying to know.
