VGA/RGB MVS Help

[Mithos]

Well I'm eventually wanting to consolize my 2-slot and I want to have it output to VGA. Now I know VGA is basically RGB so would it be possible to take the RGB+sync lines from the 2-slot and feed it directly to VGA? I know VGA has a H/V sync and from what I can tell the 2-slot only has 1 sync line. So how would I accommodate both sync lines? Is there anything else I should look for like refresh rates or sync frequencies?

Sorry ahead of time if this is a noobish question, but I am sort of new to this and didn't really find the answer I was looking for anywhere. Also thanks for any help anyone can provide.

Your MVS puts out 15khz RGB

VGA is 31khz+

Mmmm this is true.



what?

You can purchase a 15khz rgb to vga scaler and do it that way.

Scandoublers are quite expensive. Heres an example of a decent one: http://www.highway.net.au/parts/converters/1488.html

You'd be much better off getting a nice CRT TV for that sort of money.

Well I was trying to do it cause I happen to have/be around a lot of televisions with VGA inputs so if there was a way to do it then I probably wouldn't mind the price as long as it didn't get too pricey....plus it's a fun little project.

You'll find that 99% of TV's unfortunately won't sync to 15khz via the VGA port.

Hmm...I figured that much so it might really just be less expensive and easier to go with a rgb-> component encoder. Though I am still curious as I'll probably want to get this to work one day just for the experience and all....
