NES RGB modded to Framemeister, no image

Post by noko_bombette »

I'm trying to connect a modded NESRGB NES to the framemeister. If I connect it to a RGB CRT TV via SCART it works well.

But when connecting it to the Framemeister, I can only hear the sound, the Framemeister shows "No input". I tried playing with the SYNC options but with no effect. Latest firmware to date.
I have other consoles (Super NES, N64, Megadrive, all PAL) working fine with the Framemeister.

I have the SCART adapter for the Mini, the one with CSYNC via Scart. So I'm wondering if I need a cable without CSYNC to be able to connect the NES.

Thanks.

You have the xrgb mini scart adapter with a sync stripper? Probably the nes scart cable doesn't have the 5v to power it hooked up.

Yes, I'm using the SCART to xrgb-mini adapter with a sync stripper. That's probably the issue.
The NES came with a 8-pin mini-Din to SCART cable. So... do you think it's a cable issue or that the 5V are not wired at all to the mini-Din output?

possibly both. i would ask the person who modded it. if they wired using the xrgb mini pinout on the din connector, you could just use a male/male mini din cable and skip the scart cable altogether.
