hi could any 1 tell me if you can connect an amiga 500 to a tv without using the modulator thank you, happy vintage gaming
Amiga 500 appears to only provide RGB video out and composite video out, so you'd need an appropriate monitor or an RF modulator.hi could any 1 tell me if you can connect an amiga 500 to a tv without using the modulator
Amiga is 15k, analog RGB, Ega is 15k and 24?k RGBI, so in theory it should work like a cga monitor, but look terrible because it would only show 8 colors.
I've tried building a cable to go from Amiga RGB to VGA, and it didn't work. When I was looking for info and pinouts on the Amiga RGB connector, I did read that it output its signal at 15kHz, so no wonder it didn't work.I would imagine it could drive a modern VGA monitor or TV with VGA input, directly from the 75 ohm analogue video outputs & separate H & V syncs. TVs seem to accept a fairly wide range of input frequencies/sync polarities.
I originally modified a 25 way D with a hacksaw, but I have some 23 Ds (somewhere!) and it is still possible to buy them.
