From the project
PCB form Megadrive/Genesis 2 RGB minidin to Scart adapter with 12V DCDC boost (4:3 switching)
- Why - Description - Schematics - Install - Pics and final result - Premade cables with minidin 9
When we plug a Megadrive 2 console via scart on the "newer" CRT TVs as the minidin provides 5v on the console side the tv will switch to AV with a 16:9 aspect ratio. We need to deliver between 9v to 12v on the swtiching side to output directly to AV with 4:3 aspect ratio.
