@@JanBeta You know, as I watched you struggle with tha ribbon I realised that this device is poorely designed. It could be (pcb)waaaaaaay better in a different design. No ribbon, but desoldering the RGB and have a single PCB with a DVI / HDMI out to completely replace the RGB out in front of Denise. This 2.0 version could make the mod almost factory looking, and then we could get rid of all legacy outputs RF, Comp, RGG plus that giant cap that would be useless. Someone should do this as it makes much more sense ans it only needs the Pi mounted parallel to the PCB, where theres much room from the removed HDD (everyone is using SD/CF cards anyway). Here's a mockup of how it could look. Much simpler and actually cheaper too. i.imgur.com/FfF6GwE.jpeg

@AmigaFanatic1980 Год назад

This is a nice and neat solution. I am looking at possibly doing something similar for my Indivision MK3 where I can use a USB plug into the smaller board, then using a flat ribbon can then direct the output to the socket as you have here. I feel this would be look more elegant (at least externally) & would free up the back port of the A1200 for other things (e.g. easier CF card hardrive access). I just wish I had a way of getting hold of the acrylic/perspex mouting plate & screws

What about putting the rpi in a box connected to the external rbg video connector instead, since this also happens to provide 5v on pin 23? Something like the old A520 adapter, just smaller.

@JanBeta 3 года назад

That would work but would be limited to the analog signals, similar to a standard RGB upscaler. The mod uses the digital signals provided to the Denise to generate the Full HD picture so the quality is way better.

@josephlunderville3195 2 года назад

Double sided tape doesn't work well for long term mounting in my experience because it tends to be very temperature sensitive -- tape adhesive gets brittle and loses its stick when it's cold, and it melts when it's hot, and even at the best of times it tends to creep and gradually let go if subjected to any significant force. A really good quality tape can work for lightweight things that are at room temperature all the time, but especially if you're sticking down electronics like a Pi which will get warm and melt the tape adhesive, I can't recommend it -- hot glue, silicone, and zipties are my go-tos now for electronic parts inside a case if I'm not doing it properly with screws. There are tape adhesives that can work over larger temperature ranges for longer times but in my experience they're really hard to remove and then I might as well be dealing with glue...

@JanBeta 3 года назад

@brostenen 3 года назад

@@JanBeta Hmmmm... I asked about the possibility of doing a socket adaptor like this, just for ScanPlusECS scandoubler, in the past. You know, the one that uses a dip socketed denise on top. (Sandwich solution). Back before individual launched their IndivisionECS-V2 scandoubler. And people said it was impossible, because of space and all that. It is to give the 600 a second scandoubler solution. If the ScanPlusECS takes the Denise on top, and the RGB port are still working, then it must be the signals just being hooked uo to the pins, and therefor it should be no issue if the scandoubler is before or after the denise chip. But I did not design anything, because I can not design PCB's and I have no experience in that. So it is just an idea that I had back then. I am still curious if a Furia will fitt on top. That would make an Amiga600 really awesomme. Just imagine....

@Zhixalom 3 года назад

I may be wrong but as I understand it, the RF-Modulator also generates the composite video signal. So you might as well remove the yellow RCA plug next to it... and I guess the remaining hole could very conveniently be used for the RGB-to-HDMI's menu button, extending the microSD/TF reader for the Pi-Zero or both, maybe? - Jan, I have already successfully build an RGB-to-HDMI into my friends A500... and would now like to try it with my Commodore 128's 80 column display. But the more I look at hoglet67's RGB-to-HDMI github page, the more confused I just seem to get... on what version and/or adaptor board (and so on) to get. - I can't seem to find any YT-videos or step-by-step guides on it. So, I would really love if you would consider making a similar video for the C128.

@DavePoo 3 года назад

The composite video is generated by the chip at U12 (CXA1145 Encoder), it's output is fed to both the modulator and the yellow RCA composite jack. The composite should still work fine without the modulator.

So far, it did work very well with everything I threw at it. I don't think I've tried that particular game but chances are that it's going to work fine just like everything else (except for the higher screen resolutions introduced with the ECS chipset--which are VERY seldomly used in games).

Hi Jan - are you sure that you broke the adapter? I can't get the the video output to work with a flat flex cable and I have read of others a having similar issues. I've replaced the flex cable and adpaters but still no output unless I plug directly into the pi with an hdmi cable.

@JanBeta Год назад

Mine works without any problems after I replaced the connector. Are you sure the flat flex is fully inserted and locked into the connectors and in the correct orientation etc?

Nice relly nice ideas for old computers. Little tip, dont use double side tape for secure HDMI port in this acrylic adapter. Because glue on tape can easy melt after use in hot case, and huge fat HDMI cable can easy lift glued HDMI port and made big mad devastation inside case. Or if have luck only destroy signal tape. I see many HDMI ports soldered and lifted from PCB. Better use hot glue or best some acrilic glue or best way any 2 ingrediens nonconductive glue. Glues like 1s Super Glue can made shorts or another disasters. Hot glue is very safe and can easy dismount with hot air. Grettings and cherrs :D

The limitation of OCS/ECS - is the limitation simply that of the amount of “grunt” available on the Pi0?

@JanBeta 3 года назад

Basically yes. Unfortunately the Pis with more grunt handle the GPIO pins differently and have a bottleneck there (or at least that’s what I’ve been told), so we are unlikely to see an AGA capable implementation of this project. At least as far as I know. I think the AGA chips also have different signals on the pins so this mod won’t work at all without major changes.

I wonder if a PLCC pass-through board would be possible - same as with a DIP chip pass-throguh but using PLCC sockets. It should not be all that difficult to solder or desolder a PLCC chip like the Denise - though certainly a higher barrier to entry than doing the same with DIP chips. But I don't know if a 'male' companion to a PLCC socket exists?

Your not alone in the mistake department we all have been there and anyone who says they don't make mistakes has absolutely no credibility. The flat flex idea is pretty nice but if your always working on your Amiga its maybe not the best solution and a short cable would be better. You could have PCBWAY make up a PCB where you can solder a couple HDMI Connectors on the board and then using those same two holes mount it. Kipper2K has a VGA Board for the A600 that had a VGA Connector and a JTAG connector for connecting to the Indivision Board. I have one in one of my A600's and I would love to have a couple more but gave up looking for them. Only problem with PCBWAY and I do use them is the cost of shipping other than that they are great.

In hindsight, you probably should have inserted the flat flex cable to the HDMI out board, before you stuck it down on the acrylic part 🙂

I’m guessing you had the ribbon around the right way, IE the metal fingers contacting the pins in the ZIF socket

@JanBeta 3 года назад

I put it in there the wrong way around at first, but reversed it later to no avail. I actually edited out a longer segment of me swearing and trying to make it work… :D

A UV blocking coating after retrobriting could help it last longer.

This Pi mod is a very nice way to get these old Amiga's to connect to modern displays. Now if only you could fit an accelerator along side it which I don't really see a way to do since the CPU on these looks to have been soldered on.

@TheMrAdamBooth 3 года назад

A600 Accelerators sit on top of the CPU - much like this RGBtoHDMI sits on the Denise - The Furia is one such accelerator lotharek.pl/productdetail.php?id=105 - whether all of these things can play nice together is to be seen, it seems like the people that designed the RGBtoHDMI mod attempted to make their parts very low profile

@JanBeta 3 года назад

I think most accelerators should still fit with the RGBtoHDMI installed. They made it extremely low profile indeed. Unfortunately i don’t have a Furia to try it (yet).

@JohnnyReb1976 2 года назад

Now, would that Denise bit fit under a Furia?

@joachimfirnhaber8729 2 года назад

Yes it fit under the Furia

@guffaw1711 3 года назад

You can also desolder a few electrolytic capacitors that are part of the RF module circuit (including mono audio output filtering for the RF signal) as they serve no purpose anymore. (Look at the schematics for reference: www.amigawiki.org/doku.php?id=en:service:schematics) The fewer electrolytics in the machine the better. Or if you're recapping a A600/1200 while also removing the RF module in one go, it makes no sense to replace these functionless capacitors, just remove them. That's what I did on my A1200.

@DavePoo2 3 года назад

The 3 caps next to the front of the modulator are no longer required. I left them off when i recapped my Amiga A600's

I got lucky. My A600HD (still in original box) is as white as the day it was born. Never performed any retro-bright on it. I have a C128 in the original box too. When I got it, it was super white. Today, it's a dingy yellow. Despite being in the box the entire time in a climate controlled, dark room. So it's the luck of the draw. So yeah..they can go yellow even with no UV (although UV accelerates the process).

@DavePoo2 3 года назад

I suspect heat might play a part in the yellowing process.

1:27 What I really dislike about this upscaler is the image clipping on the right side. In overscan games, the frame is cut off. It cannot be corrected in any way.

@JanBeta 2 года назад

That’s definitely a caveat. These don’t handle overscan screen modes well. Other than that I’m really pleased with the RGBtoHDMI.

Soluzione stupenda quella dell'HDMI al posto del modulatore RF, L'HDMI si vede molto meglio dell'RF.gran lavoro

@holleholl3057 3 года назад

I wonder whether you can fit any other stuff (like the Furia or something alike) into the A600 after you have installed this mod .I totally hate ribbon cables (Flachbandkabel mag ich aber auch nicht :) ). Ischt aber trotzdem ein kuhler Modd :)

@tsftm4192 2 года назад

Furia fits but without the CPU relocator which is basically just for those who want to have the RF shield cover installed. However all of these mods (and accelerators) will be redundant in a few months because Pistorm will be an all in one solution with everything in one PCB. The pi zero itself is already more capable than all the A600 components combined, so its wasted just for video signal conversion

@IntenseGrid 4 месяца назад

Do these do ECS resolutions yet?

@JanBeta 4 месяца назад

They somewhat do, but not 100% perfect. Resolution is a tiny bit reduced for the very high res modes because the bit depth is marginal.

@mattuttley3711 3 месяца назад

Guess if you've got a cf card on the ide adapter inside and a ram card in their too then not much chance fitting this inside as well

@JanBeta 3 месяца назад

I have a memory expansion, a cf adapter and an accelerator in this A600, the RGBtoHDMI fits just fine.

@ANKH123 2 года назад

Hi. It's possible to mount on A1200 ?

@JanBeta 2 года назад

No, the AGA Amigas use a completely different video circuit and the Pi would not be able to handle the bit depth of the AGA modes even if you could get the necessary signals from the Amiga (which would be a bit more elaborate than plugging a socket between some chips). You can obviously still convert the RGB output using the general purpose version of the RGBtoHDMI externally. But that’s using the analog signals so it’s not going to be as crisp.
