Post by bacteria » Fri May 22, am Ripped open, carefully my old GBA Transverter tv out card for the GBA and caught the ribbon cable in my pliers and cramped the ribbon a bit - works but colours are washed out now.

I might be able to fix it when I get around to it, but might be trashed. Last time I tried one of these GBA Converters I got into a tangle and ended up ruining the card, but that was quite a while back so i'm excused! Anyway, without much hope for further success, had a go. I had half an hour today only for project work, so didn't want to settle into my TurboGrafx project - will have time mid next week for that, so instead did this simple mod with the short time I had.

The differences between attaching a Transverter card and a Converter card are big - with a Transverter you just insert the ribbon into the connector, job done - with the Converter you clip on the plug to the existing connector - sounds easy, and it is, however this solution is crap because it relies on pressure to keep very tiny connections onto the back of the connector plug in place and in contact.

In practice, you don't get a picture, or a garbled one as a result. No point using hot glue or similar as that will give a tiny amount over time and break contact again. Using screws and bolts would be good, but of course you can't do that; so came up with a solution, as below. Interestingly, the first generation of the Converter could take 32 or 40 pin GBA ports, this one only takes 40 pin ones - you don't know what you have until you open your GBA though.

This version of the Converter has side clips which the old one didn't although it doesn't seem to help too much in maintaining tight contact to the pins underneath. On Here's the simple mod - can't be simpler - put in a piece of 2mm thick perspex under the GBA game cart connector and on top of the Converter plug, wrapped electrical tape over the GBA to maintain as much pressure to press the perspex onto the connector as possible.

Works, without screen garble, or artifacts. Screen is my crappy PS2 screen I use for testing. When I get around to it, I will do more work on this and upload my site with a PDF, might be early next week. This is a simple mod to do. It also means that if anyone wants to make a GBA into a system, they can with a good picture. The Converter takes according to its adaptor 8v at mA - sure it probably takes less though - even if it doesn't, using that and an unmodded PSone screen would take about 1.

How good is the quality compared to the transverter? I heard it's crap. You should have put this in the reference section though, now it's going to get lost in a deluge of crap. This is a good idea, my current one involves wrapping it with wire, pulling it tight, then soldering the ends. This looks a lot cleaner.

Post by bacteria » Fri May 22, pm Going to test it in the next days and let you know how good it is compared to the other card. This mod needs a cart slot relocation using a different cart slot - I will do this anyway, so using the tape is not an issue. I will update this thread next week, also in regards to the result with the RGB mod. Post by palmertech » Sat May 23, am Looking again Looks like all there is on the edge is ground, I bet you could do it "right", and use screws to hold the perspex down.

Electrical tape stretches over time, too.
