I've been tinkering with this myself. I followed the pinouts provided in this tread.

http://forums.benheck.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=35017" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Basically connect :

KA2198BD PSOne slot 1
pin 2 > pin 4 (Red in)
pin 3 > pin 5 (Green in)
pin 4 > pin 6 (Blue in)
pin 10 > pin 3 (C Sync)

However the display is much dimmer than composite. I tried connecting 75 ohm resistors and 220/25V caps in series but didn't make any difference. Then tried just the caps, but still no difference. I may try to make this video amp http://www.gamesx.com/grafx/pce_rgb.jpg" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;, but I need to order the parts. Does anybody know if this will work or of a better amp to use?

Also when you connect RGB to a PS1/Zenith screen you need to connect the audio to pin 9/10 on slot 2. I've tried this but I'm getting a low hum or buzz. I'm not sure why.. maybe because the noac side is not connected?? I consider myself an audiophile and to me this really sucks. Anybody know how to fix this? I tried shielded cables.
