   ]-[ere I am again bringing you the useful information that others
   want to keep to themselves and make lots of money off.  I feel 
   that people having to send their expensive and prized machines
   like Saturn and Playstation through the post to companies so that
   they can be scarted is stupid if you can do it yourself but just
   did not know how.  If you are capable of doing the following then
   do so, then you can't get your machine lost or nicked.  To people
   like Hydra who mouth off cause they made one lousy review of a
   game and rag on me for typing up articles well then dude who has
   given the people what is really useful now then?  Along with
   my Saturn scarting and various own reviews etc.  Shut your mouth
   in future.

   The following information was found out by R2D2(#1) and supplied to
   myself by R2D2(#2).  This fully work's and has been tested on many
   RGB compatible TV's with no problem at all!  I would like to thank
   Paul for giving me the information on how to RGB the Playstation,
   it's making life so easy now without digital scan on my picture haha.

   TV's tested on:-
    
   MITSUBISHI..PHILIPS BLACKLINE..PHILIPS MATCHLINE..SONY TRINITRON

   For all those that don't know, RGB'ing the Playstation will now 
   allow the machine to work in FULL colour on most Pal/Euro televisions.
   Also the picture quality will be increased by miles due to the 
   signals being sent directly to the TV color guns etc instead of being
   modulated etc before hand.  You will notice a crisper picture and 
   far greater colouring (its amazing haha).  Just take a look at the
   quality difference in an American SNES and a Pal SNES haha there ya
   go.

   EQUIPMENT NEEDED TO SCART PLAYSTATION
   +===================================+  2TUFF/NAPALM

   1. SOLDERING IRON
   2. SOLDER (LOW MELT POINT/SELF FLUXING) *BEST*
   3. 2 x IN4148 SIGNAL DIODES *FROM TANDY ETC*
   4. MALE SCART/EURO-CONNECTOR
   5. 9 CORE SIGNAL QUALITY CABLE *SEE [2TUFF#AUDIO] FOR 6 CORE*
   6. RGB KNOWN TV FOR TESTING ETC

   DIAGRAM OF SONY PLAYSTATION PCB
   +=============================+  2TUFF/NAPALM

   Open the Playstation and flip main PCB vertically down (so that
   A/V port is facing you and where joyports were, so it is now
   on the bottom LEFT).

   -] Port Pins [-

   1  2  3  4  5  6       1 = GREEN OUT          7 = RED OUT
   o  o  o  o  o  o       2 = BLANKING           8 = BLUE OUT
                          3 = VIDEO EARTH        9 = AUDIO OUT LEFT
   o  o  o  o  o  o       4 = RGB SYNC
   7  8           9       5 = AUDIO OUT RIGHT
                          6 = AUDIO EARTH


   WHERE TO PUT CABLE
   +================+  2TUFF/NAPALM

   The Playstation is far easier to play with than the Sega Saturn.  When
   I RGB scarted my Saturn, I found it hard to find a decent spot for
   the cable to enter/leave.  The playstation is EASY!!!!!!!

   Open the machine up and you will see the power supply pcb on the Left,
   and the main pcb on the Right.  In the middle of these is a small gap.
   Make the hole in between this area in the plastic at dip.  Now you
   can easily have access to the A/V port as its right next to wire
   coming in.

   MAKE SURE YOU THREAD CABLE THROUGH HOLE BEFORE SOLDERING 
   *This can cause serious brain emriging if you don't and solder haha*

   WHAT TO CONNECT
   +=============+  2TUFF/NAPALM

   1  2  3  4  5  6       1 = GREEN OUT          7 = RED OUT
   o  o  o  o  o  o       2 = BLANKING           8 = BLUE OUT
                          3 = VIDEO EARTH        9 = AUDIO OUT LEFT
   o  o  o  o  o  o       4 = RGB SYNC
   7  8           9       5 = AUDIO OUT RIGHT
                          6 = AUDIO EARTH

   Use the colours on the multicore cable to help you (i.e wiring for
   the blue signal, then use the BLUE wire haha????)
           
        Refer to MY diagrams earlier

   DIODE'S
   +=====+  2TUFF/NAPALM

   Use 2 IN4148 signal diodes.  These can be got from all electrical
   stockists.  I got mine from work but here is the relevant information
   to purchase them from Tandy
    
     COMPONENT : IN4148 DIODE
   CATALOGUE # : 276-1122
      QUANTITY : PK.10
         PRICE : £1.49
             
   Scart
     16o ---- __
       o      /\_____2 (on psx[BLANKING])
       o      \/
     10o ---- ~~

   Get the 2 IN4148's so that the LINE on the diode's are at the bottom.
   Join the wire together at other end so the 2 diodes now become one,
   and the wires at the other end where the LINE is are still seperate.

   DISCLAIMER
   +========+

   I and others have used this information, and have had no problems
   or cause any since.  So if you encounter a problem dont cry to me
   just cause you screwed up your machine through not understanding
   or being qualified to attempt this hardware hack etc.  If you
   feel you don't fully understand or can't solder etc then wait till
   Sony being out a A/V scart lead, unless mine come out first.
