Title: PC to TV adapter?
Post by: OldTymeToys on May 04, 2009, 09:55:20 am

Just curious if anyone has ever used this PC to TV adapter for their cabinet.  It possibly looks like a simple solution...

Or you could get a video card for your PC that outputs TV signals (S-vid / HDMI / etc.) that would probably work a lot better than that thing.

I do use video cards but I was outfitting my brother's old PC for MAME and came across this thing and was curious...

I was at radio shack and I saw something I think will take the place of any pc to tv adapter. It was just an inexpensive cable vga to the yellow rca video jack I believe. But I already had the pc to tv converter by Kworld computers but its cheap because you can't use the buttons, such as contrast and color.

What you're talking about is an adapter. A convertor is an actual electronic device.
