JammaCon Update






Completed the Playstation adapter for the JammaCon a while ago and came across various controller converters for Playstation to Xbox etc so decided to try out a few with the JammaCon setup.
The only problem is finding games suitable to play with a single joystick and on screen text can be difficult to read due to the small size of it - games aren't optimised to run at these low resolutions.

The converters I used were 'Ostent 3 in 1 Converter Adapter Cable' for XBOX, USB & Gamecube and a 'Universal Adapter for XBOX360'

XBOX

No real problems with this one. Setup is very straightforward and AV quality is very good using a standard XBOX Scart cable.

XBOX 360

Needs a XBOX 360 specific Scart cable for this. The buttons worked straightaway but getting the directional controls to work took a few attempts with various combinations of the plugging in it sequence.

Playstation 3

Using a Playstation 2 AV Scart cable for this, the Display settings must be reset/reconfigured before it will work though.

  1. Does the ps3 output at 15khz from the av multi out port?

    I went about it a different way. Cfw on ps3 allowed me to modified the xregistry to output as ntsc(480p). Then went from HDMI out > HDMI to vga converter > gbs 8100 > rgbs output > 15khz Monitor.

    Ps3 display settings is set to 480p, however I believe the gbs8100 outputs at 480i. what resolution is yours displaying at

    1. Could I go straight from the av multi out to rgbs on the 15khz Monitor?

  2. Yes, the AV out is intended to be used with 15Khz displays.
