D-SUB VGA Port Case Mod

[Rotosound_rb666]

I got it fitted on the right hand side, under the "ledge". Added RCA audio jacks, with. I did the "anti-sony-sog" (synch on green) mod with an LM1881 chip, this is basicly now a built in "Blaze"/Xploder adaptor, software driven. It works, and made more sense that making a cable adaptor, since I just tapped to the board where the a/v out port is monted, there was a convienient 5v source there to power the LM1881.
I t works, and only cost a few bucks to make. $5 in parts, roughly.

Sweet man, pics are appreciated! Please share as detailed pics as you can get.
Thanks

I added a pic. Not too much to look at, though. Here are a couple of links to check out if you want to do this. Original post made a cable, I decided just to case mod the thing, instead. Why bother with a cable/dongle, when you have a great excuse to drill some holes in the playstation!

that one doesnt mention the 220 pf caps in the rgb lines, thogh, they go inline on the r, g, and b, positives, with the caps negitive side towards thean monitor. this next one does, though.

and last, this is where I bought my LM1881.

While you are at it, you need 2 0.1 pf caps, and 3 220 pf caps, and a 570 to 670 ohm resistor, I bought that stuff, along with a d-sub connector, and a 4 plug rca bus (I hacked 2 out, and joined and elongated the holes to fit the dsub.

All I can say that you are a MAD SCIENTIST... That is bad ass....

All I can say is that this wasn't all that difficult to do. Not nearly as hard as the average modchip. The picture is night and day better than the composite video, I even run a component to vga scanbox, this has a way sharper picture. It's still a bit dark, but that's just a matter of getting the appropriate capacitors on the RGB lines, I'm doing that now. Someone dontated me what used to be an HDTV, of some kind, but it's got lots of caps in it (or it used to, now, anyway) those 220 pf caps are hard to come by. I'll know more in a half an hour from now.

I have the same dim problem with an xbox that I did a similar mod to. Let me know how those caps work out.

Thank you Sir! Much cleaner with that plate thing it's mounted to. Is that custom too, or something you can get prefabbed.

BTW:
You guys may want to check out what doctorxyz is trying to accomplish. He's looking to hack a progressive mode into HDL. (link is in Portugese, use translator to see his progress) He is also a member of psx-scene, but has decided not to post here until he has it in a working state. Right now HDL crashes to black screen, after a game is chosen from the list. This is the same as what happens with the Xploader HDTV software, if you try to use HDL after running it.

I made that plate out of a 4 RCA plate from Radio Shack, I drilled out 2 of the RCA's to fit the dsub.
The original "Blaze VGA Adaptor" software runs HDLoader just fine, even in progressive mode, I still have the elf from it. I noticed that non-ps games, however, do not run in ps mode. Both of these start the DISC after running, my stupid 39001 black screens every time I try swap-booting anything, it just wont (but if I browse the things from ulaunchelf, and run the exe, they run ok, but that wont help, its just how I know it's a 39001 thing), at least the Blaze elf can be tricked into returning to the main OSD.

Tried 470uf caps, Im not sure if it made a difference or not, I think I'll try 1000uf caps, and see what that does.
I have been thinking about trying to integrate an RGB preamp IC into the works, they are cheap enough, and I think I can possibly get that wired so it'll work, not sure if I'll do that, just yet.

So even shortening the signal wires won't helo so far as the dim picture? I saw some had added 220 ohm resistors not capacitors but that could be a miss print.

they say 220uf caps.
