Can we make our own help thread here as that forum takes ages for someone to reply?
Anyway, i got a sony triniton kvxxxx (stiker was pilled off) with a BA-5 chassis, and thanks to this guy i kind know what to do,
https://shmups.system11.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=63622&start=180this are his images
https://imgur.com/a/lZTtECeNow, i dont know how to build a little tiny board like him, so i dont mind splicing and soldering cables instead, and thats the part i get lost. i think i can do this.
On his picture, the single brown and orange cable, thats for the switch rigth? and i can see theres a resistor right there, so according to this image
it should be a 2k2 resistor.
and thanks to this image i know where to solder them.
Now instead of using a fancy board like him, can someone please explain to me how to do the rest of the cables please. i think they go like this.
Solder cables at
jw343 B----------------910r------------75r that goes to ground----------this end can get connected to rgb vga breakout cable
jw342 G----------------910r------------75r that goes to ground----------this end can get connected to rgb vga breakout cable
jw341 R----------------910r------------75r that goes to ground----------this end can get connected to rgb vga breakout cable
and the sync cables should go to the composite video outlet of the tv.
is it really this simple?
Also heres a message from him answering an old question, like a year ago.
RGB inline resistors are 910ohms.
2K2ohm on a 5v line for blanking.
"Jumpers for the RGB lines are as follows -
R - JW341
G - JW342
B - JW343
I got 5V from CN006 Pin 7, and blanking goes to the cathode of D003. Im sure there are top side jumpers that could be used but I didn't look.
I used 910 Ohm inline resistors, 75 Ohm terminations, and removed R086, R087 and R088. I hate surface mount components haha.
I wired everything up to molex connectors for easy case removal, and to use either VGA for a Dreamcast @15k, or a SCART connector if and when I get something that uses it.
Would switching sync to Luma on S-Video or Component fix the left shift of the image? I just wired to composite video as thats what I'd used on the other few TVs I had modded.

Well i guess i just want to confirm this. one thing that gets me confused, on my vga breakout cable, i always use the ground cables to ground, so should i also get a ground straight from the chassis? and, do i need to add anything to my breakout cable as the 8bit guy did on his second video? usually with arcade monitors im good running the cables straight., thanks in advance for any help.
PS: theres another guy with the same model that had problems with his picture, and he had to add 220uf caps, but he dindt mention where.
