I missed the boat on ordering a HAT that allows component video on my HAS, do you ever plan on making more? I know the PS2 connector won't be an option anymore but wondering if you had an alt in mind.

I might but don't take my word for it, the priority is the newest HAS batch and a few other projects.
 
Great work RGB the little CXA2075 came in the mail today. Soldering question for you and the group. Do I also need solder in the PB, GND, & PR holes? I see in your example that you got two switches soldered on the board, do I need those two switches for mine to operate as well?


Last question what are these little pins called that can help me solder those holes together?

Another sneak peek.

This is the CXA2075 based video encoder for the HAS. It outputs Composite Video, S-Video and DC coupled RGB via the PlayStation AV Multi. However, it can be easily upgraded to output Component Video (YPbPr) by installing the Viletim's NESRGB Component Video Board. I need to admit that the video quality is phenomenal with this addon.

  1. Cut 3 traces as shown above; bridge JP1.
  2. Install two switches, the following can be used: SSSS222700, JS202011CQN, CL-SB-22C-01
  3. Do not use the supplied goldpin headers. Stick a piece of thin double sided tape underneath the add-on board and stick it to the adapter PCB. Then solder it using some tinned copper wire (use resistor's leg or something). Edit: I just had a quick look at my adapter board and it looks that the add-on board won't touch anything on the HAS, so the supplied goldpins could be used here.

@zionfarm Sorry, I missed part of your question:

"Do I also need solder in the PB, GND, & PR holes?"

Yes, you need to populate all holes.

@shorjewken I don't have them, but I will make some.

Has anyone here screwed their UD USB decoders into the HAS supergun? Wondering what size you used (the manual says DSUB screw locks with 10-11mm screw length but that's for the Saturn adapters - is it the same for the UD-USBs?)

I've used 4-40 jackscrews to screw in the
ud-usb. If you are needing some ask @opt2not he might have some left. Hope that helps you
 
Is there a waiting list for the waiting list? A mailing list I could subscribe to with an alert for when the next pre-order opens up?
 
Finally got my cable from Retro Access ( https://retro-access.com/collection...gb-cable-lead-for-nes-rgb?variant=47694594323 ) but I'm having issues.
I'm getting a wavy, red screen with all the PCB's I test. (photo attached)
I've tried on multiple LCD TV's and computer monitors. All switches on the HAS are on the default as the manual suggests.
I'm using a cheap SCART/HDMI converter which is confirmed working when I plug my Genesis into it, as my OSSC has been shipping for 5 weeks now from China.
Anyone have any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Is that the actual cable you bought from retro-access? It is the wrong one. You want Euro SCART not JP-21.

Edit: Using a JP-21 cable with your SCART/HDMI converter could quickly damage your HAS or the converter. Stop experimenting until you get the correct cable.

Ugghhh!
That is the cable I'm using. After searching many forums for the correct cable to buy, that is the one I was told would work.
It was a pain to finally be able to purchase it now it'll take a lot longer to get the other one.
Is it possible to open the connector & change pins?
 
Yep, Jap21 is the wrong cable. As soon as I saw all that red on screen I figured you made that mistake.

Grab a euro cable and don't power it on until you do.

Basically exactly what Goat said :)

If you happen to have a spare retro-access cable I'd definitely be interested. Don't really wanna mess with the etim one.

It’s an etim but I can assemble it if you want.
