AtariYoungin Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 Im not talking about to a tuner card or anything, but is there any RCA to USB 2 converter or anything of the sort? I have a little project and something like this would come in handy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susuwatari Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 Can you explain what you need the RCA to USB2 for? Sound capture? Alternative to little 4 pins plug? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeybastard Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 real-time video and audio in the highest quality possible, but I don't wan't to have to use capture software. So you just want to overlay the video on the computer sreen but not record it? Why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariYoungin Posted April 30, 2004 Author Share Posted April 30, 2004 just a little project I thought up. Not sure if its been done before...I noticed the 5 1/4 bay on a computer is just the right size for an NES cart, so I wanted to rip up a toaster and make it so I can use the bay as the cart slot. But I wanted someway to get the the A/V without using my capture card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susuwatari Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 OK so you want to be able to play NES games onto the moinitor? Any plain vanilla capture card will work. ATi TV Wonder Ve is cheap and can be used for capturing video or just playing video on the monitor. Good luck fitting the NES system into a 5.25" drive bay, the NES board is a lot bigger than 5.25. Atari 2600 built into a computer, that could work since 2600 board could be cut down to hand-held sized safely. Or even SNES2 system... Anyway do let us know how your project goes.

AtariYoungin Posted April 30, 2004 Author Share Posted April 30, 2004 I have an ATI All-In-Wonder Pro, but I was trying to find a way to not take up the port on the card. If all else fails I can always use that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtariYoungin Posted May 1, 2004 Author Share Posted May 1, 2004 kinda, I was hopin for something without a tuner though...just a passthrough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Tomlin Posted May 1, 2004 Share Posted May 1, 2004 The output is RF. You have to use a tuner, unless you want to put a video-out mod into your 2600. Oh, and don't expect a VCR to help you much either. While you could proably use a VCR as your tuner, you can expect lots of problems if you try to record the signal. Most games have off-spec timing that drives VCRs nuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariYoungin Posted May 1, 2004 Author Share Posted May 1, 2004 Doin this to an NES not a 2600. So I got a Composite Video Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susuwatari Posted May 2, 2004 Share Posted May 2, 2004 You will still need a TV capture card, PC in general doesn't understand analog signal and NES puts out 3 different analog siganls: luma and chroma (combined on the composite line) and audio. TV capture card separates all the signals and convert them to digital RGB signal that trhe PC can process. Just pick up an ATi TV WOnder Ve,. it's probably the cheapest TV tuner card that works and has composite input. Once installed, all you'd need is to run the TV program and you can view your NES on the monitor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spongebue Posted May 2, 2004 Share Posted May 2, 2004 Good luck fitting the NES system into a 5.25" drive bay' date=' the NES board is a lot bigger than 5.25. Atari 2600 built into a computer, that could work since 2600 board could be cut down to hand-held sized safely. Or even SNES2 system...[/quote'] Actually, it could be done. The Super Joys/Power Joys have an NES on a chip that would work well, All you would need is a Famicom to NES converter. Anothe option is to have the NES Mainboard be in another section of the case, and use an IDE ribbon cable to bring the cartridge slot to a 5 1/4 bay.
