Re: Commodore 64 Issue
[quote name="Lufteufel"][quote name="SBDMT"][quote name="Chairman Mao"][quote name="mark"]Yes, mine has an RCA port too, but it appears to do nothing anymore. But thanks for the heads up that you can just straight out combine lumina and chroma...[/quote] Back in the day, there was two kinds of cables for the C64 video port. One was RCA Chroma/Luma/Mono like you have, with nine pins. There also was a five pin cable with RCA composite and a mono connectors. My suggestion would be to find one of the five pin cables, because forcing a chroma/luma mix will look like ass. EBay doesn't seem to have any but I'm sure a nearby flea market would. Or your attic. [/quote] A typical yellow RCA <i>is</i> just luminace and chromanance jammed together. S-Video separates the two for more definition of each, resulting in a sharper image. Or something.[/quote] It's been a long time, but wasn't the RCA connector actually an RF output? I remember connecting something from the C64 to a little Atari-style switchbox on the back of my prehistoric TV and turning the dial to channel 3. The picture quality was pretty crappy, but it was usable.[/quote]
