RetroPie to SVideo/Composite via VGA666
-
Hey folks! I was hoping for some help. The Sony PVM-2730QM I have only takes in composite or SVideo (which is likely better quality).
The composite out looks bad. Honestly... it's not great. I do also have a VGA666 adaptor, however this is not Composite natively, outputting to RGB at most.
Is there a way to set the VGA666 to output SVideo/composite, or do I need to get a converter?
What is the best way to go from RetroPie to SVideo/Composite?

@nickpittom You'll need a converter from VGA to S-Video/Component.
There's a PI HAT - RetroTink Ultimate - that outputs S-Video and Component directly (retrotink.com), it's not cheap, but people are very pleased with the results.
The author (@mikechi2) intends to launch a VGA-to-Component converter (RGB2COMP), so you might want to look into that also.EDIT: of course, there are other options, don't take just my recommendation into account. Maybe a RGB/Component converter is cheaper than the whole HAT from RetroTINK.

@mitu said in RetroPie to SVideo/Composite via VGA666:
RGB2COMP
Thanks! Yes, I've checked out RetroTink, but it's not that cheap, so I'm looking at alternatives.
A VGA to S-Video/Composite may be the way forward. (The monitor doesn't take component).

Somethink like this, but US based.
