ziggystar Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 Is there any way to modify the VCS adapter to work through the 5200 with a video mod? I want to be able to have both the 5200 and 2600 through the video monitor. thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Mitch Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 You could probably run a wire from the composite in pin on the cart slot to the composite out on the video mod. You will most likely have to play around with it so they don't interfere with each other though. Mitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yes, you do have to mod the 5200 itself. Mitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l3ushwig Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 (edited) Remember... Don’t stick a 2600 chip in the 5200... It will blow a fuse in your AC..... Edited July 12, 2005 by o0o_BuShWiG_o0o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ziggystar Posted July 12, 2005 Author Share Posted July 12, 2005 Ok, so give me a little more detail on this. I could then just mod my 5200 to always allow for the adapter to output composite. Can you draw me a schematic? Tell me what line to run a wire from, you cautioned, should I include a swtich? What if I was never planning on using standard RF video again. thanks!

+Mitch Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 OK, just let you know, I haven't done this personally but looking at the schematics this should work. Connect a wire to pin 24 of the cart slot, then connect a 1N914 diode to the wire with the anode toward toward the wire. Connect the cathode end of the diode to the middle of your composite mod. If you are using the composite mod from the 5200 FAQ, connect where the arrow is pointing: o+5V | | + |---|(----, | 100uF | | \/ GND | | | | 10uf | |---/\/\/---,--|(--, CR1 750 | 1.6K | 10 | + | Sync --|<]--/\/\/-, | ,-/\/\/-` | \/ GND 4.7K | | | ___/-------` Luma 3 ---/\/\/-----|\|/| Q /|/c\ 9.1K |---|------(b| ) RCA jack Luma 2 ---/\/\/-----| | \|\e/ 75 __ 18K | | \-----,---/\/\/-----O__ LUMA Luma 1 ---/\/\/-----| | 2K | | OUTPUT 36K | `-/\/\/----/\/\/--` GND \/ Luma 0 ---/\/\/-----` | 75 GND \/ The cart slot numbering as you look at it from the top front: 36 19 oooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooo 1 18 I hope that helps.

ziggystar Posted July 12, 2005 Author Share Posted July 12, 2005 hmm this makes sense, I'll give it a whirl. Nothing should interfere. What about 2 port vs. 4 port differences? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Mitch Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 What about 2 port vs. 4 port differences? 890500[/snapback] Well, if it's an unmodded 4port the 2600 adapter won't work anyway. If it's a modded 4 port it's the same as the 2 port. Mitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ziggystar Posted July 13, 2005 Author Share Posted July 13, 2005 I'm using the mod that was sold on ebay, it was a plug and play deal, just one or 2 wire clips to some pins, and a chip removed and plugged into a daughter board. Here might the wire go on that mod? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Mitch Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 Hmm, mostly surface mount stuff. You are probably going to have to connect the cathode end of the diode to the pin that the yellow wire is plugged into. This should give you a picture, whether it is a strong enough signal is the question. It also won't work with an S-Video connection, only composite.
