Team restores "leftover" DS Lite TV-out feature with CFW and circuit board

Cool, but also ewww composite.

 

I agree, apparently it's a digital signal that they're converting over to composite with the PCB so it's hopefully possible to output the signal as component or RGB since the composite-out was just a proof of concept.

If they were to do something like HDMI, there would need to be some sort of fancy digital signal processing since you need stuff like EDID chips for HDMI and the signal would need to be upscaled to reach the minimum HDMI bandwidth

 

2006

 

Looks sick, bit of a bummer it's composite tho

 

?

Snes and megadrive had rgb in 1990. 2006 doesn't fly as an excuse for composite.

 

I blame these people:

 

Or to create a GBA Macro with additional TV Output.

Thats not a bad idea, but the lack of hdmi would be abit lacking since it's composite only, but hey, the idea is there!

 

well remember that the DS came out in 2004

 

RGB has been in game consoles since the early 90s and In computers since like the mid 80s.

 

this is cool i should try it on one of my disassembped ds lites

 

I already got one, it's called a Wii U.

 

Now we just need a homebrew to use controllers with the system somehow so that we aren’t tied to our TV with a super short cable

 

Consoles around that era still used component though

 

No, most consoles had some sort of multi av out and one of the options was RGB, no modding.

Just because the US didn't settle on a standard RGB connector, so stuck with composite or S-video, doesn't mean the rest of the world did as well. Europe had RGB via scart.

Master System, SNES, Megadrive, Playstation, Saturn all had RGB from their multi out as standard. You just needed the right cable and a tv that supported it.

 

Is this like leftover pizza?

 

Also remember this is nintendo in 2004

 

Sega Master System had RGB out in mid 80s

 

Componenet only came around with the ps2 and xbox.
