is there component video support in any capacity, either through custom cables, a HAT or anything like that?

It's called a SCART to Component adapter and they've existed for about 20 years now.If you have need for component, I highly recommend you invest in one (not Playstation hats and HD Retrovision cables).

IMO HAS is perfect just the way it is (8pin mini din RGBs) the only reason why I own a HD15 hat is for the Taito F3 workaround with OSSC...
And that's to solve an issue with the OSSC, again HAS IS perfect just the way its is... Its the OSSC that's flawed.

I would do some googling an research before you make your decision.

They are essentially doing the same thing, one could argue that the HDRetrovision cables are a more clean set up. Apparently the scart converters use a power cable, and may require opening up and adjusting pots to get the colors correct.

I have heard mixed things about the common amazon converters, so you may consider a shiny bow or something more community approved.

I like the HDRetrovision cables because I know they are good quality, well shielded, the creators spent a lot of time making sure the colors were correct, they have a 3.5mm aux input to get stereo sound (The HAS also has this), and they have a brightness switch on the cable which works great from console to console. I assume it’s some kind of resistor.

I also exclusively use a consumer CRT, which is where I think these cables really stand out as the best. For other set ups, rgb scart and having the option to put on the converter might be better.
 
Anybody know if the HAS does dual output? Like I have the HD-15 adapter plug in. Can I use the 8 pin mini din along with the HD-15 adapter going to a monitor?



Thx guys

No, it's not designed for dual output. It will probably work, but you're doing this at your own risk.

edit: I should add that I meant dual output *at the same time*. You can use either the 8pin mini din or the HD-15 output, but only one can be connected to a monitor.

Understood and the chief has spoken. I won't even try it then.
 
One more question. I have a V3.2 and the new 2019 AV Multi out but I am not getting any video signal to my Sony crt. I am getting sound but no video. Can you guys point me in the right right direction please?



Thx Kelly

As @RGB said, its at your own risk... The HAS will not provide any additional amplification to the output signal.
So it will get darker/dimmer with each connected display, however with that warning out of the way... Yes, it actually will work.

So if I were to use HD retrovision cables, I would need the PS2 RGB HAT? Thanks for all the help. Appreciate the community immensely.

RGB decided not to do multiple adapters. The A/V out adapter is labeled “s-video/composite video” but the HDRetrovision PS1 adapter —>HDRetrovision Genesis 2 component cable works on it too. It must be the ps1 adapter and genesis cable, not their ps2 cables. Set sync switch to TTL. They are currently on pre-order at castlemania games.

You can also get a ps1/ps2/ps3 s video cable for the adapter.
 
HAS outputs 15k RGBs at SCART levels, if that's not what you are looking for feel free to use adapters.
I don't understand why anyone would think it was easier or better to buy an adapter "HAT" for PS2, to then buy a PS1 to component transcoder in a cable.

Again HAS outputs SCART, why wouldn't you just buy a SCART to component adapter?
You don't need to mess around with HATs, or cables made to do things different from what your actually trying to accomplish (aka why you can't buy the actual PS2 cable with the PS2 HAT and must buy the PS1).
 
It's a moot point anyway, because I won't stock modules with the PlayStation AV Multi output, unless the AV Multi ports magically become available for purchase again :/
 
Sorry. Silly question. Is it considered unsafe to hook up -5v while running games that do not require -5v?
 
No, he is saying its "safe" because on boards that don't use -5v it goes nowhere/isn't connected to anything.
I always run my HAS with the full PSU (5v, 12v, -5v, ground) setup no matter what game/PCB I'm playing.
 
Just curious if anyone else has had this issues,

#1 - I’m not getting certain inputs, for example: I was not getting button 3, but if I went into the button setup mode, if I pressed button 3 (3x) the led would blink with each press. But after exiting the button mapping setup it still doesn’t register. I unplugged the controller and plug it back in and button 3 works but then down didn’t work.

#2 - sometimes I don’t get any blue, if I remove the HAS and then reseat it on the jamma edge it usually comes back. There’s been once where it didn’t work the 1st time but the 2nd time reattaching it worked.
