Recently I bought a speedlink cable which was supposed to be rgb. When I power up my psx though I get composite video. Opening it I discoverer that there is no resistor between pin 8 and 16 , as well there is no cable soldered on pin8 either . If I just solder the resistor between those pins, will I get an rgb signal? Also, there is a jumper cable between pin 4 and 18. I'll post some photos tomorrow if asked to see the cable
what are you plugging the cable into? its possible your converter needs power on pin 8 to work maybe. soldering a resistor wont hurt. pins 4 and 18 are both ground so its fine that they are jumped together.
Well I bought the cable from a store about two months ago,but it was yesterday when I first used it. When I took the photos, I discovered a grey cable on the +5v line (can't quite be seen on the pic though), so I guess I can make it display a true rgb signal. As you can see there is an RGB line, so I guess someone forgot to solder that resistor in place. Also I use it on a CRT TV, so there is no need for a converter/upscaler EDIT The the cable is this
Bumping the thread just to tell you that I added the resistor and now I get a crystal clear rgb signal
