Granted it is of course possible.... as you say, with he right "Know-How" The point is that Lettuce doesn't have the right know-how at the moment, otherwise he wouldn't even have been asking the question that he did.

Without the right know-How hacking that sort of cable is pottentially lethal as well as risking the TV and his graphics card and his computer. Which is entirely why he should go the route I outlined. Use a graphics card that has a TV out or buy an Arcade VGA card that will also do it safely and provide the correct signals for the TV without hacking high voltages.

I'm not an electronics expert, actually, I only know how to use a soldering iron :)
But iI followed the great tutorial on this page http://ryoandr.free.fr/english.html to make my own VGA to SCART cable and it turned out REALLY well.
I didn't need to open up my TV, since the SCART connector is on the outside.
The only thing it costed me was some time researching and reading up on how to make the cable.

Lettuce, if you have a friend with some electronics/soldering skills, he'll build you the cable in 10 minutes.
Then it's up to you to adjust the software. I admit that there's a risk involved if you send your TV a signal that's completely out of spec, but I've seen some tinkering going on in these forums that were WAY more riskier than this VGA-to-SCART-RGB hack.

Hi guys, thanks for the replies and sorry for the arguments its caused  ;D. I own a VGAarcade card so the sync shouldnt be an issue, and i have found a place that makes these cables, http://www.keene.co.uk/cgi-bin/searchxx.pl?11lea,RGB,15

If you look half way down the page, theres a few, SCART TO 15 PIN HD MALE RGB, just have to decide which one i need

theres aslo some on ebay

Haha  ;D No you didn't cause an argument.... That's just a debate.... It's normal! Chill out.

Ermmm However, you didn't find somebody who makes these cables.

Those cables you point out are Scart TO 15pin male......   You need a 15pin TO Scart.  They're not the same thing.  You can't send a signal both ways in a scart plug.

It's either an in or an out plug.
