The Amstrad MP-1/2 and Alan's cost cutting.

I meant to replace the RGB-to-composite board inside the MP-2.

There's enough space to fit a converter if you just remove the video PCB and leave the PSU in place. Luckily they are seperate PCBs, so no PCB hacking is required.

That's the idea!  Just want to keep it reversible, I don't want to damage the original device.

I posted a picture of the inside of an MP1 here: http://www.cpcwiki.eu/imgs/f/f7/MP2_Innards.png
As you can see, the left side can be completely emptied without touching the PSU. Worst case you could also make a new, much smaller  version of the regulator PCB and free up even more space.

Would one of these fit Scart to HDMi

I am considering a Framemeister. but these generic adaptors are much cheaper!


Any chance of a photo of the image on a tv with a CPC to HMDI with this device?


Is there any video lag? I mean I could save a fortune if these work well enough to be fun with a Megadrive / CPC / Amiga

Had a look at this :-
Has anybody used HDMI and an LCD monitor on a CPC 6128


The light streaks are camera related not the monitor.
Good luck    Ray
