gscartsw: automatic 8:1 SCART-RGB switch

Got my switch, looks wonderful!

Waiting on a SCART to SCART cable to hook it up to the XRGB mini before I could test it. Should know if everything's A-OK by next week.

Wonderful work superg

 

One last question. If i decide to switch everything over to EURO, which i am seriously considering at the moment just so i can purchase this switch.

I have seen 2 different EURO XRGB Mini adapters. One labeled as Passive. And one that has an extra cord, is a little more expensive, and is labeled as CYSNC.

Would i just buy the passive EURO version of this cable to go into my XRGB mini? And then buy the RGB EURO cables with CYSNC built into them?

Thanks again everyone, appreciate it. So close to getting my setup completed. This scart switch is really the icing on the cake.

 

Correct, just get the passive one - The switch already has a sync circuit built into it. Also correct about the cables.

 

Thank you! So the cables can have Csync built into them? Awesome.

I think i am gonna order some rgb euro cables and the xrgb euro adapter. Then i can just be ready for when these switches are available again. Hopefully i can snag one!

I wish i understood what sync even was.

 

This might help...
Sync page: http://www.retrorgb.com/sync.html
Each console has a link to the proper cables: http://www.retrorgb.com/systems.html

 

Thanks for that! Super helpful.

I understand which cables to buy in general, just was confused if the CSYNC cables worked fine with the gscart. Or if they needed special cables or something.

is there a way to know when these are back in stock? Subscribe maybe?

Thanks again.

I can't notify everybody.

 

Would just like to say that i'm looking forward to the next batch becoming available and will be watching the thread. I've heard nothing but great things about the hardware.

 

Sounds good, will do.

 

As of now, I only have an inexpensive SCART to Hdmi upscaler. When more funds are available I will purchase something better. I am looking for a scart cable to connect the upscaler to the switch. I am in the US. Does anyone have any recommendations?

 

I have this one and it is great

Pretty sure this is what you guys are going to want in most cases. It goes straight from the switch to the xrgb with no middle man. You'll want the pro cabling upgrade: http://www.ebay.com/itm/162058151450?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

 

That would be what a lot of people here would like, but Poorcomputerman needs scart to scart, like the one I linked, because he doesn't yet have an xrgb. Hes got a scart to hdmi upscaler

 

You're right. I just want to get the word out there about the single cable so others don't accidentally go for a suboptimal solution. It took me a while to find that and make sure it is correct!

 

Oh I see! That is great advice

 

Hi, sorry if this is mentioned elsewhere in the thread, but I notice now that on the first page, there are two different links for buying this switch. I want to preorder a switch, but I'm not sure which link to use (there was only one link a few months back last I checked). Does it make a difference? Will one ship faster than the other? Also, does anybody know what the expected wait time is if I were to place an order today?

 

There is red bold text written in all capital letters right on top of the first page, read it.
(also it doesn't matter where you buy, it's linked to the same paypal button)

 

Sorry, I didn't realize that once you click the paypal button, it says "sold out". Guess I'll ahve to wait to place my order...

 

JP21 update: Got a word from my manufacturer, the switches are being assembled ATM.

 

Awesome news. Thank you for the updates.
