Hi all,
maybe can be good to have subforum for displaying outputs from vintage (mosty) 8-bit computers (S-video=Y/C, RGB, video=composite...) on modern LCDs with either help of cheap convertors, FPGAs... or on special monitors with "vintage" inputs etc.
I'm using some retrocomputers (C64, C128, Apple IIc...) and this was/is one of biggest issue for me.

I do like the sound of this! There's sites like retrorgb.com which are heavily console-focused, but there's no info all in one place for home computers that I know of.

Plus, between us, I bet we've connected up or modded all the systems listed on the forum for RGB!

Besides the nitty-gritty of pinouts and mods, the myriad ways of getting RGB into something like HDMI are worthy of discussion, I reckon. Perhaps if not as a dedicated subforum, but a commonly-named, curated sticky thread in each machine's forum might do.
