gscartsw: automatic 8:1 SCART-RGB switch

I was referring to a very old message before the waiting list stuff
https://www.assemblergames.com/foru...-SCART-project&p=751602&viewfull=1#post751602

Glad its working out. You put alot of work into it.

 

Oh, that one.
Indeed, things improved since!

 

BTW, I have 9 spare 3mm top acrylic panels for switch v1.4. If any of you need a replacement panel for your switch I'll send it free of charge, you just pay postage, let me know.

 

This thread is CRAZY!!! Awesome product though.

The SCART is euro standard if I read it right, autosensing/switching.
So skimming through the thread, quick reacap it looks like there are loads of folks who paid, or said they would pay, or like to pay lol that will be getting dibs on the first round. Once that is done you will open it back up in this thread. Is that correct? I am ready to pay when they are available. I've seen nothing like this on the market with this many ports.

 

Yes there's a waiting list that's closed. Initial switches are being made. Once they've been tested, the wait list will have chance to get theirs. Then it will become publicly available for rabid followers not on the wait list (like me!). Just follow the thread and you'll know when you can buy. (Superg obviously correct me if I'm wrong).

 

Wow, that is correct!
At least one guy is following the thread
Nobody has paid yet, I prefer not to take payment beforehand.

 

That's a really stylish looking switcher. Looking forward to the purchasing opening up.

 

Please, put me on list.

My only question is... SCART jap compatible or european (I guess is euro) ?

 

3 posts up...the list is closed, but soon things will be opened up publically.
SCART is the European standard, JP-21 the Japanese standard. I believe superg is making both versions available.

 

I own several old consoles and I use a framemeinster to be able to play them on my HDTV. I would love to buy this switch. Please add me to the list.

 

My question is what kind of cable Do I have to use to connect the output of the switch to the framister Xrgbmini which has euro scart female?

Do I have to use Male to Male RGB Scart cable or normal scart cable fully shielded ? If M to M RGB Scart is the answer Where can I get them? If there is a link to it.

 

You'll need XRGB-Mini SCART adapter, like this: https://www.retrogamingcables.co.uk...emeister-xrgb-mini-passive-converter-for-sale and use ordinary SCART male-to-male cable.

 

oh OK I already bought this adapter..

Alright I understand the image here. That's means I can use normal scart cable from the output of the switch to this adapter which plug in XRGB Mini.

That was my concern thanks for the clarification superg

 

All right, looks like assemblergames is finally back online. I've got 1st batch boards here, everything is soldered (I still solder plastic components myself). The only thing what's left is to replace the amplifier. I've made a mistake and ordered THX7375 which is pin-compatible but has different amplification level. THS7374 should be used instead, it has already been ordered and is on it's way. 1st batch will go to the most patient people from the top of the waiting list. JP21 is what will happen next. I'm going to cover all JP21 switches with one batch.
I'll refrain from posting any estimates from now on because it's always late. Will keep you posted.

 

Woohoo thanks for the update!

 

Sweet! Glad to see the site's back, and glad to see the first batch is in. Keep up the good work SuperG!

 

Awesome, thanks for the updates! Glad the sites back up, everything's coming up milhouse.

 

That is awesome news! I'm gonna put this custom bad-boy out where it can be admired and envied by all. Thanks for putting all the blood, sweat and tears into this outstanding device SuperG!

 

I hope there is an extra one that I can pick up that someone didn't want to wait for. I have gotten all my consoles modded and framemeister bought just need a scart switch

 

I'm in no way dissing. Just inquiring, the price seems pretty high, and I say that because I can pick up similar things down the road from me for the equivalent of like $15. I've heard that the US doesn't have SCART or something, is that the case? Just curious why these are worth the money
