The ultimate VGA to SCART adapter

One is https://www.arcadexpress.com/es/arcadevga/457-cable-arcade-vga-scart-usb-5v-12v-con-audio.html
This implementation looks almost identical to the original, except the position of the LEDs.
Another one is http://vga-scart-converter-f-15.mozello.es/catalog/params/category/0/item/1443803/
The appearance of the latter is quite different. The switches are more accessible so that the power supply or the aspect ratio of the screen can be changed without having to open the adapter. Another notable difference is that it has a female VGA input and two SCART outputs, one male and one female. The adapter can be connected directly to the TV with the male SCART connector. Alternatively, it can be connected via the female connector using a SCART cable.

I bought two VGA F-15 some time ago (thanks for help with this gambaman) and so far works very nice. Price is also very good.
One thing I noticed - sometimes device fails to switch back TV signal after resolution change. I have to quit game and start again just to force resolution change. It does happen rarely so not a problem for me. Putting device directly in TV scart is also quite handy - no need for scart cable. This is very comfortable for me because I have TV very close to PC.

Hi. Do you mean that sometimes resolution dosen't change when switching games? Does it happen with any emulator?

MonochromeVGA is a project from Aitor Gómez to enjoy the charm of those monochrome monitors of the time in VGA displays. It makes it possible to select green, amber or B&W as monochromatic color, among others, as well as to change color to monochrome or vice versa easily. You may ask why I'm posting about it here. The reason is that Aitor has combined the MonochromeVGA with my project to get the MonochromeRGB:
MonochromeRGB allows several possible configurations of use:
-VGA to [optionally monochrome] VGA, without the need for any power supplyA
-SCART to [optionally monochrome] SCART, also without the need for any power supply
-VGA at 15.7Khz horizontal frequency to [optionally monochrome] SCART with selectable 4:3 <-> 16:9 aspect change for compatible TVs, being necessary 5V power supply via microUSB or from the VGA connector itself
I would like to collaborate with Aitor to develop a dual output version for TATE games. Stay tuned.

Sometimes after starting game I get black screen - TV displays OSD info and looks like TV is not getting any signal. Today I've tested many games but it didn't happen even single time.

Strange. I don't know the reason. I'm sorry I can't help you. :-[
