Adding RGB to a TV

Post by M0nk3y »

Hello all.

Just a quick question for anyone that knows about the innards of TVs...

Is it possible to add an RGB input to a TV that only has an Aerial Connection/standard Scart? Basically, I've dug out an old 17" 4:3 TV. I thought It'd be cool to get up to a bit of Tate'd SuperGun shmuppery as it has a lovely picture.

Is it possible to wire the R, G and B inputs directly into the CRT colour guns, or whatever decoder chip exists in the TV?

Cheers guys.

This totally feasible!

I did it with a simple TV21" and placed a commodore 1084 monitor motherboard in the TV. it work perfectly :D

if you don't have an arcade monitor motherboard, you can buy one here for cheap --> http://www.8liners.com/datatech/monitor.html it's an universal mobo. just follow those explications on his site.

I don't know if the guy is reliable, but his site was really usefull for me. :o
