Commodore 1084S-P1 to jamma , how to connect?

Post by keropi »

Hiya!

How does one connect a jamma board to a 1084S monitor? I see many people using them for testing purposes and I'd like to do the same... So here is the pinout of the 9pin video port at the back:

Is it a simple straight connection using the 1084's R-G-B-C.Sync in analog mode and call it a day? :)

Yes, you might need 75-150 ohm resistors on the rgb lines.

thanks for the info :D
I already have a 1084S-P1 for my amiga and xt-cga needs , it serves me well. I will try with 75ohm resistors and see where that takes me... I always wanted to make a scart-in adaptor as well so I will make something that combines both with a sync-stripper.

Can you confirm if this worked with 75 ohm resistors ? I am trying to do the exact same thing thanks

Because arcade boards output 3 Vpp video signals and your Commodore monitor expects 0.7 Vpp.
