VGA to a/v- help

[PRThomas]

Can any one help me With hacking VGA to
Play the a/v from my ps1? I was told I need to wire directly to the pin out. How do I do that, and what do I wire? The a/v cable to the pin outs. Or pin outs ps1 to pin outs on monitor. If it helps my monitor is an HPvs15.

sorry no way. the vga plug sends RGB not Compisite. you need a convert.

On ben hecks xbox laptop he wired from xbox to screen. How'd he do it?

[bicostp]

The Xbox outputs HDMI, and he used a desktop LCD monitor that has a DVI input. DVI and HDMI are compatible with each other, so all that needs is a DVI-HDMI adapter. (Or wiring the correct pins to each other; they're basically the same signals in different connectors.)

Now do you see why.

EDIT: I maybe wrong. look here composite to vga

[PRThomas]

Yea if that has any kind of converter in it, it is very well hidden. Because of the possible lack of a converter in this I believe it may be possible to just hack the wires together.

you could just open a cable up and see which pins go to where. and the you know how to wire it up.

OR

just shove one inside the portable.

[PRThomas]

Ya I considered that.

You're not wrong, those are for laptops that are designed to reuse the VGA port to output composite on a few pins (take notice that most have audio out). Most video cards will not work with these adapters, and wiring it backwards will not let you use composite video on a VGA only screen.

I can't just cut the VGA and video cable in half and rewire them together?

You can't. Wrong signal types.
