Options for CRT with component for retro emulation
deezdrama:
ok, i bought a 2500k setup, 16gb ddr3, 1tb ssd, amd r9 380 ..... this will be my CRT emulation box, nes up to wii/dreamcast/psx
Then I bought a asus p8z77 micro motherboard and a i5 3570k. Ill eventually end up getting ram and a gtx 1060 6gb for this and overclock it, it will eventually replace my aged x5460/775 overclocked quadcore thats in my arcade cabinet.
So..... All I need now is a high quality db15 to component transcoder. Ive been looking for all the ones I hear recommended but hitting dead ends. Anyone have any suggestion for a transcoder?
Got the wii hooked up to the CRT for now through component and I think its looking pretty good. Cant wait untill the emubox is finished.

The retrotek is one ive looked for, and looked at the rgb2comp. Couldnt find either one anywhere. rgb2comp is sold out and dont know if hes making more. Then there was a guy on one of these forums who made and sold good ones but his ebay link brings up an error now.
Just searched for the Audio Authority 9A60A-b VGA to Component Converter and there is none on ebay and discontinued/sold out on their website.
This is only thing I can find and from the reviews all the pots need adjusted

and then use one of these...

with this connected to the gpu...
https://www.amazon.com/UGREEN-Converter ... 797&sr=8-6
Its looking like this is my only option, unless anyone knows of any online supplier who still has the audio authority transcoder

I don’t know if you can find these transcoders anymore, but the one I have works great
