Yea, I was wondering about that, most of them don't have screws to open them up, but I'll take a gander. Just happened to find a Belkin VGA adapter at a thrift for .99 cents, so that may be a good candidate. So did you try the transcoder with the Ugreen adapter yet? Or it's not arrived yet? If that doesn't work then I'm stumped. Finally got around ...

Nice. Do you put the sync on green circuit inside the vga adapter or in the cable itself? I thought about trying this out before, but wasn't sure on how to do it exactly. Maybe I will give it a try myself just for fun.

I decided to order the Ugreen adapter myself (although I ended up getting the female HDMI to Male VGA version.) and it seems to be still working fine. I switched over from my old JVC I'art to a new Toshiba I purchased and that TV is working perfectly as well with this setup. Hopefully it's just an adapter issue you are having. The only thing I had ...

I'm having sync issues. I have 3 different adapters and they all can't sync correctly. One of them has the ag6200 chip. I will having rolling pictures or squiggly lines no matter what resolutions I'm using. Pretty much, like 1 in 50 times, it will sync up and then I can use the tv. If it syncs up, then I can use it. If I turn everything off, it wi...

Could you post your .ini file? For whatever reason, I can't get a stable picture with it. I have the same Transcoder, I was using it for crt_emudriver on my pc to connect my crt tv. It works fine for that. Yea, I can do that, just give me a couple days. I am currently in the process of getting rid of my old crt tv and getting a new one, so my two ...

Yes, that's the one. Also, someone mentioned the UGREEN adapter has a better build quality on the Atari forums.

The solution is here: Setup for YPbPr signals! YPbPr - also known as Component Video - is available in Direct Video mode but has limited compatibility. This is due to limitations of HDMI-to-VGA DACs, which were not meant to produce signals in the YPbPr color space in the first place, resulting in signals that are slightly out-of-spec. It is possib...

Could you show a picture of your "Hdmi to VGA DAC" and "Transcoder"? Sure, this is the Transcoder I am using. 20220210_181353.jpg 20220210_181334.jpg In my earlier post I left a link to the ebay page, although it looks like it's currently not available anymore. My HDMI to VGA DAC is this cheapo gtmedia from Amazon (Edit: Link E...

Glad it is working for you! It sounds like you are using the scaler. Is that correct? Ideally, you don't want to use the scaler for most cores (the ones designed to be run on a CRT like consoles). Does it work with direct video (bypassing the scaler)? Sorry, I forgot to mention it but this was all done with direct video enabled. I actually haven't...

Ok, finally have an update. It took a while to get to me from New Zealand as it couldn't be shipped due to Covid-19 restrictions for a couple weeks. It came a couple days ago and I had some time to play around with it. So my signal path is Hdmi to VGA DAC (already had one for using on a CRT monitor) VGA cable to the Transcoder, and RCA "compon...

I just ordered one of these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07RFFWJWL/ It is very cheap, but looks like the multitude of others sold for $20.00 USD+. I believe it is a simple transcoder without a scaler so I'm hoping it will work, and offer a decent budget option. It also looks the same as one used by many others for getting 240p to a crt tv through th...
