Hi guys! I love modding my consoles, and one thing that was bugging me was the lack of a good option for my XEye, which is a Genesis / Sega CD combo for those of you that don't know.
I did some initial testing by installing an RGB to Component chip inside a regular Genesis, and it worked WELL, but squeezing it in there was a pain, and I ultimately lost my video port, which was a bad thing considering I like to play 32X.
Not to mention, I can't drill 5 holes spaced evenly apart to save my life. So, I decided to try a different angle. I installed the chip in a box external to the Genesis, and used an RGB SCART cable to connect it to the Genesis, cutting off the SCART end and wiring that end into the RGB chip. Every signal is there EXCEPT the C-Sync, so I built a simple Sync Stripper to 'strip' the sync signal from the composite video wire, and put it in the box as well. For the box, I used an Altoids tin. I was originally going to stuff the tin behind the console, but my wife said it looked badass so I mounted it on the side of the entertainment stand.
The output is FANTASTIC, even on my projector.
