How to use SCART for our hobby
orchidius:
Ok, I hooked up the molex plug again, leading +5v to scart pin 16 with a 100ohm resistor inbetween and 12v to scart pin 8. I hooked up ground to an external ground, but that didn't seem to make any difference. Here's the picture I'm getting:

You can clearly see the windows login screen, but the color is orange/red-ish and the sync seems off...
Thanks heaps for the help btw guys!

I have the option of using 1 of 2 ATI cards I have to hand with a Scart TV setup, a HD 4550 and a HD 4650 (both 512mb).
The 4650 has better performance but 2 DVI ports & 1 S-Video, where as the 4550 with less performance has VGA, HDMI & DVI.
Which card would produce the best picture though, the better 4650 with a DVI to VGA adapter or the 4550 using its VGA port?

Anyone based in the UK that can make one of these scart to vga cables for me? By the time i get around to buying a solder iron, solder and all the bits i might aswell a professional to make one for me

Ok found a crappy solder iron in the garage, and used the diagram on the first page of this thread and solder everything up bar the chassis ground on the vga end and the 12v and 5v wires to connect up to the PC. I have nothing installed (not even windows) on the pc at the moment and have connected it up to my LCD screen to make sure i was getting a picture, and this is the display i was greeted with......
Any ideas?
