With a little ingenuity I was finally able to get my new tv to play the old Atari 2600.
ruclips.net/video/2y0DObbKw9I/видео.html updated video here with newer parts and full Amazon list!!
I just tried your advice, bought the adapter and converter, hooked it up via the VCR as recommended.....and I am now playing Pac-Man, Space Invaders, and other games. Thank you so much for all your trial and error. Haven't played this in probably 30 years. Got Atari as a wedding gift in 1980. Can't wait to play with friends like the old days. Thank you again.
Could you please share all of the parts you ordered so I don’t have to scroll through everything 😃
@@jmj5870 I would be happy to. I'll have to do this over the weekend though but I can assure you that it does work. Pretty cool.
@@jmj5870 You will need the following:
@@jmj5870 You will need the following: Atari 2600 RF TV Coaxial Male F Plug (available on eBay), standard 3-wire RCA video cable (with Red, White, and Yellow wires), Easycel RCA SVideo-to-HDMI converter (available on Amazon), and standard HDMI cable. Of course, you'll need a basic VCR and HDMI-supported TV. Let me know if you need any more help putting it all together.
@@ToolWorxInfo Thank you! This list is what is missing from all of the tutorials. I really really appreciate your time - thanks again!
Bought an atari 2600 on ebay.
Knew it wouldnt work without some kind of adapter. Went on utube and your video was the most intelligent. Bought the peices you mentioned on ebay and amazon for under 20.00 canadian . plugged in connected everything. And hit game reset. BOOM !! I was back in the 70s ! . Great helpfull video.
Thank you!
Dude thanks so much for that. It's why I did the video in the first place 😀 enjoy rockin' that 2600 goodness
Can you please provide a list of items and where to buy? I am not technical and this is hard to follow, so a list of things would be helpful first and where to buy. Thank you so much!
@@sharonn9291 Rca female to coaxial male adapter, a VCR, an a/v cable (red yellow and white cable) and an rca to hdmi s-cart adapter. The VCR and a/v cable you can get from any thrift store and the two adapters you can get off of amazon
This 100% spot on.
My old plasma TV had an RF connection, so I hadn't needed a VCR. Fast forward to new TV with no RF connection. Was upset!
Upscaler box is cheap, VCR was found at a flea market and bam! I'm playing Pong and Asteroids no problem. Thank you for the guidance!
😀😀 thanks for watching 😀
This is an awesome video. My only suggestion is maybe put the names of the components you use in the Description box (and if you can maybe have an overlay appear on the video).
Thank you for sharing!!!
The Atari RCA out is not the composite video (typically, yellow) that you'd think it is. It's actually an RF modulated signal. I have a 4k TV that, with the "F" coax to RCA adapter, will show the Atari when it's on analog TV channel 3. The key is to make sure it's on analog and not digital TV.
Thanks Joe and TheRazZPlay - The analog setting is the key! I didn't need a VCR or the converter box, just the Coax adapter plugged directly into the back of my TV, which was $6 shipped on Amazon Prime. Now if I can just figure out how to get the console into 2 Player mode. :D Thanks again.
I think maybe in my case, the TV was not a 4k but only 1080p, so that may be why it had the Analog setting available. (It was labeled "Air" on my TV.) Cheers!
@@webjock2k7 yes! You want to make sure it's on the air (or antenna) analog input option of your TV. Glad you got it working!
That's a pretty cool way hooking up an Atari 2600 to a modern display. I don't own a VCR player anymore, but I do have all my retro consoles hooked up to my 32" Sony CRT TV.
Nice! I still have my original Atari 2600 with a couple dozen cartridges and I'm fairly certain it still works. Thankfully I still have an old VCR around the house too. I'll have to get those other parts but it sounds like they're easy enough to find. Thanks for the excellent video!
PLEASE make a list of what I need to buy and where to find each part. Thank you so much!

@@TheRazZPlay Will this work with a DVD player instead of a VCR?
As long as you have the same inputs and outputs you should be fine :D
Hey everyone!!! Just a heads up. This video is a few years old, so while I do try and make a point of replying, sometimes the comments get lost in the shuffle of my other videos. I'll hopefully be doing a full updated series on old console setups soon. Until then I'll do my best to keep up with the questions :D
Hello there. I just unpacked an Atari 2600 but don't have the upscaler. Tried to talk to Radio Shack and a Pawn shop... but we are talking about kids who aren't into the old gaming systems. One guy said he could try to get it to work... even though I tried to explain it will not work, he said he could do it. He said the resolution wouldn't be the same. So... asked him to watch your video, and he said.. and I quote ... "Yeaaahhhh, I don't know what that is. But if you bring it in, I can try to get it to hook up or else look on Amazon." LOL So, where can I find that upscaler? I can't read the name upside down.
@@joylynnmwright9995 it reads "Video converter" just turn your phone upside down lol
@@kevin_kevinson then the video goes back the right way
@@SupremeNerd you can turn off auto rotate :p
@@kevin_kevinson you could. You could also screenshot it and flip it around too
Thinking out of the box, I like it, I just bought an old TV, the other problem with new TV's when you can connect it, which mine can, is that you cannot manually tune a new TV, so although you can see the picture, its not clear. This idea is a cheap easy way to do it, nice job.
awesome, I just picked up an Atari 2600. going to have to try this with an old VCR.
If you have all the parts needed, it should work like a charm 😀
I am going to try it your way it's less complicated...I will order the items today ..new subby...keep up the excellent work brother 👌✌
This men just has a friking data center at home 😂
I took one step further. I had a dvd recorder that had an antenna input and component video output and digital audio out.
i have that type of dvd recorders too
I just want to add that this method does Indeed work! I can now hook up my 2600, 5200, Colecovision and even sega master system up to a 4K tv!However you DO need the HDMI upscaler for it to work on a 4K. It will not work from component out from the VCR alone. just got a new Vizio and I learned that the upscaler I need and now use is an AGPTEK hdmi upscaler from Amazon..at 20 bucks, it’s a must have!
Yeah what he said 😀
TheRazZPlay dude, I know. I’m
Just saying it worked for me as well
And I appreciate you saying that it worked for you as well. Shows I'm not crazy and it does work lol
TheRazZPlay I should also add that I can now play VHS on my 4K as well! Let the memories commence 😆
@@frankschalk7790 lol enjoy!!
Even today, VCRs are beyond useful. I more or less figured it would be able to work like that even if the VCR was plugged into the coaxial jack.
Genius dude! I got one for my little nephews . This is valuable info man. Thanks.
Not only do I still have my Atari 2600, a Coleco Vision, and a Pong console, I'm actually the most excited to hook up my 1987 Fisher Price video camera that recorded video on high bias (audio) cassette tapes!
In order to process video, the tapes had to run faster than normal, so a 90 minute audio cassette (45 mins per side) would produce about 20 mins of video (10 mins per side). I can't wait to see all my goofy videos from 7th and 8th grade!
I actually expect a reply to hear how it went :D
@@TheRazZPlay We'll see what Yule brings. ;-)
Damn man I would do anything to see me and my friends back then.
Noice, I was thinking about getting an Atari myself, to go with the SNES & the Nintendo 64
Do it!!! 🙂🙂🙂
... Or, cut out all the delay from conversions going on in that chain... And just plug the coax adapter into the antenna connector on your TV and tune it to analog channel 3. I do that routinely with every console I have (three Atari 2600 models, ColecoVision, Intellivision, etc). Not sure why it needed to be so complicated here.
I tied but Is not gonna work for 4K TV Tho…. He’s showing the method if you have a ultra 4K TV…
@@Kylesaystuff Explain to me, then, why I'm successfully doing it on my Samsung 4K UHD TV with the coax connector on the back of my Samsung 4K UHD TV. :P
@@DanRamosDR Hey man so I have used this method myself on my TCL HDTV and had it working for months.. well I moved and since then after plugging it back into the tv via the cable adapter.. the TV's channel 3 is not picking up the signal.. and I'm frustrated cause it was working fine.. Any tips?
@@iamhistorygeek Try changing to channel 2 to see if it catches, try scanning for analog channels again while the 2600 is on and connected to channel 3, try other consoles to see if it's the TV, otherwise try the 2600 on a CRT, if you have one around. Sounds like something either broke or needs tuning.
This was way more complicated than mine. Also, it looks different. Mine has 6 switches on the front. All I had was the old RF cable connection. I have a 1080p screen, but with an RF in for terrestrial analogue aerial. This is the same cable that we get HD Freeview here in the UK. All I had to do was do an auto channel scan on the TV but deselect digital TV channels in the scan options so it would only look for an analogue signal. Failing that, i was going to connect to an old VHS VCR, again using the old RF connection and then VCR to TV via scart. Still, on the TV's we have here, RCA inputs are still usable connections. You can do the yellow, red/white (video, audio L/R) but you can get a valid video HD signal but using 3 for just the video, RGB/3xColour difference cables. It was great to get it working again.
most of the s-video on the rca converters don't work,but the connection is there, if you take the rca converter apart, you can Solder the s-video connection, it will be slightly better resolution, cool video!
Dispite the fact that the fact the Atari 2600 uses and RCA cable for it’s output, it’s an RF signal, not Composite.
Using the RCA to Coax adapter, you should be able to plug it into any TV that has an analog tuner and turn to channel 3 and it will work.
That being said, I doubt 4K TV’s will have an analog tuner, as analog broadcasts were discontinued several years ago.
A VCR does not upscale the RF signal, but it does convert it to a Composite signal so you can connect it to any TV that has Composite inputs
My 65" LG OLED 4k HDR tv has a regular Coax input. I still get free TV over the air with an antenna and everything from my Atari 2600, NES, Dreamcast to PS4 Pro is hooked up to it. 😎
I managed to get perfect picture and sound from Atari 2600 SECAM (French model) on modern smart TV strait via RF! The strange think is that non of my old CRT multi-region TVs can get any picture from this console, even from old 80's TV with PAL/SECAM switch on it.
That is Awesome I have 3 decks and over 100 cartridges! Thank You!!!!
Damn, Dude!
This is like religious teachings from the scriptures! I have an original Atari and a VCR!
I just need the adapter and the upscaler!
Waaaaaa ha ha ha (evil laugh).
Thanks for posting!
And Moses raised his hands, sticking his staff high into the air and said, "Let there be an image." And it came to pass millions of subjects were able to play Atari 2600/VCS game once again. Praise God and all his wisdom.
This is crazy, like making 15 stops between point A and B. Great video. I'm getting the bug to get my Atari 800 once again hooked up to a TV and playing all those wonderful Retro games.
I want to see you do a "ping test" with the ultimate 2600 ping tester, Kaboom. If you feel no lag, every conversion step is ping free for all purposes other than light gun games.
Thank you!!! This worked!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉
Do a composite mod, it's easy, signal looks 100% better that RF
I tried on my 4k Roku TV just by using that little RCA to coax adapter, it works but the TV is putting the game screen way down past the bottom of the TV viewable area so it cuts off part of the game.
It does this even with my Genesis and other old consoles. Seems like the TV wasn't set correctly for those kinds of resolutions.
Thank you so much dude 👍
TheRazZPlay Nice Vid! What Is The Name Of The Adapter That I Need To Convert Over? Thx!
Gr8 video, wot name of the box thing, sorry miss wot U said, cheers
Super vidéo, merci man
Glad I could help 😀
I hooked it up verbatim . Rf into the rf-coaxil adapter, into my vcr... then rca out (from vcr) to the hdmi upscaler. Then into the TV via hdmi . Yes yes channel 3 channel 3.. I get sound, and I get a picture... but the picture is all distorted and messed up.... I can sort of see the game. But it's not right.
I'm using a "vader". 2600 .
Help
Thanks! It was very helpful to know this
Glad it was helpful!
@@TheRazZPlay can u link it please I need the link to the items needed
I have a quick question so I don’t have a 4K tv I have a Sony Bravia from 2008 or whatever but anyway I have my vhs hooked up to my tv via RCA (red white yellow) I was wondering if I could use the vhs I have plugged in for the Atari. What I am asking can I still use the vhs to watch vhs tapes and have the Atari hooked up or do I have to buy another vhs just for the Atari
Oh yeah you should be able to watch VHS tapes without a problem.
thanks for your help
Thank you for watching 😀
ty for the video
Question: I have a vizio 4K with a component in, can’t I just plug the vcr directly into the back and eliminate the need for an upscaler?
I mean you can give it a shot. I didnt work for me when I tried it. The signal from the VCR wasn't strong enough but if it works for ya then that's awesome 😀
TheRazZPlay ok thanks! Could you please provide the name (and link) of that converter box thingie?
www.retrorgb.com/upscalers.html something like this. There's different types, but the one I have is similar to the one pictured on the right
Some modern TVs with a component input are in fact multi function, my older HDTV has a component input and it'll work with normal component, and will also work with composite (you just hook the yellow cable up to one of the colors on the component (red green or blue, depending on how they have it set up), and often it's just a standard component input without the capability of using composite).
This works on my 4K LG smart TV.
What is name or kinda of adapter n would DVD player work or have be vcr thanks for help ppl told me just buy 75 to 300 adapter n it work but that did not work
This works and thanks
This is exactly how I play mine!!!
i feel like this would be better on the upcoming retro channel
And thats gonna be the idea 😀😀
@@TheRazZPlay why am I not surprised
Could you just use the adapter to the coaux on a tv? I have an older Samsung 1080 tv and like to play my Atari.
For 1080p? Maybe. Its worth a shot. Worst thing that happens you have to spend 5 bucks on a vcr at a thrift store 😀
This was great but where do you get a VCR from ??? 🤷♂🤷♂
I'm gonna suggest checking out any and all thrift stores 😀😀 they're generally pretty cheap 😀😀
Also.... did I just respond to a comment on a nearly 5 year old video?? Yeah I did. That definitely deserves a sub if ya ask me 😀😀
I'm trying to do this while not connecting it to my 4k TV. I have a small 720p TV in the spare room with other retro devices connected via scart switcher. I do have both a sega master system and a sega megadrive (genesis) hooked up and have a picture through the analogue tuning, both are on same frequency. The atari 2600 has a male to female rc cable. If you open up the atari you can see the cable plugged in on the male. So the female fits the TV. The problem I'm having if tuning in the frequency. I'm not sure if A: there is any power to the system. I'm using 9v with positive polarity and I know 2 years ago this worked on an old crt TV. B: I'm just struggling to tune it in?
I have a late 2000s HD TV with an RF port. Will using a coaxial converter work?
It should work with just the female rca to male coax adapter by itself 😀
Thank you!!!!!!
Great. Except I haven’t had a vcr in 20 years
Composite > SCART > HDMI will not produce any better image then a simple Composite to HDMI converter. Now if you were to take RGB Scart, and plug that into a SCART to HDMI adaptor that WILL produce a MUCH better picture image than Composite Scart, like shown in the video.
Have you tried a Y splitter, (then a second Y splitter for the audio), and run those into the upscaler?
Bro u make it harder than it was
To THE RazZPlay Love the video but since we don't have RadioShack stores anymore can you tell me exactly what I need to hook up my childhood ATARI 2600 may with items from AMAZON. I know I NEED the F connector male to the RCA female . BUT do I have to use a VCR ?? And in your video I don't know what you hooked your S Cart adapter to.. I know it was for the Red, Yellow & white cables but I don't have anything that has the s cart prongs on it. PLEASE HELP..I'm confused and just wanna play my ATARI , NES , SNES and N64 again on my 32inch flat screen.
Thanks so much for your time
RadioShack is still available ONLINE
Try the rgb mod for atari and connect it directly to upscaler ..very hi quality ;)
Or buy an fpga atari :D
Who makes an FPGA Atari?
This method is pretty much cheaper and easier to find and obtain versus any mods
Defender Rules
you da man. Thanks.
I try 😀
So can you please list me the things I need please? Also send me and amazon link so I can purchase it?
I need the links as well
Rca female to coaxial male adapter, a VCR, an a/v cable (red yellow and white cable) and an rca to hdmi s-cart adapter. The VCR and a/v cable you can get from any thrift store and the two adapters you can get off of amazon
GENIUS
This is just stupid 2021 and this is really what we gotta do.
well yeah if youre gonna have a 1980s video game system. You can always pay to get it modded too if you want. I know this comment is a year old
Can you adjust the aspect ratio? The game looked stretched out to fill the width. These consoles were designed for 4:3 TVs back then.
You can adjust the aspect ratio on your TV most likely 😀😀
Awesome!
Please list the items needed and if Amazon has all this . Ty
I just got one that looks like yours but it has a permanent coaxial cable coming out, I’ve plugged that cable into the tv and plugged it into power and it still isn’t working, I’ve put in multiple games and reset but nothing. What could be wrong?
Have you found any way to bypass the vcr or the adapter? Or is that the only way to hook up the Atari?
Anything that allows coax in and A/V out should theoretically work, but I haven't really found anything yet other than old tech for the job
i know a way to not use a vcr ill be making a video on it now called how to hook up a atari 2600 to a hdtv part 3
Make sure to drop a link here when it's done 😀
@@TheRazZPlay Did you figure out how to do this without using a VCR?
I didnt actually. Planning a wedding this year so it kind of fell off my radar lol
@@jannaclegg3102 my channel shows it ruclips.net/video/P5tfR0ybyv8/видео.html
Do you necessarily did the upscaler , I have the connector and VCR?
Atari is 240p (480i with only one field being used) The VCR is 480i
I need help! I hooked everything up through a Zenith VCR/DVD combo per your video. Here's the issue - I can't find a channel 2/3 switch or designation on this VCR. The VCR can also take the Atari's coaxial cable without a converter...but I'm not sure if the female coax on the vcr is input or output. That area is marked "DVD Exclusive Out". Any thoughts? If that's an output coax then I'm not sure this VCR will work. Maybe it's too new? Thank you
The VCR/DVD combo may not work unfortunately. If you have a remote for it and it can set it to channel 3 then you might be good to go. The coax should most likely be an input...it should indicate whether it is or not right around the port :D The Atari doesn't have a coax male at the end of it's cable. It's an RCA male. You'll need an RCA female to coax male adapter.
@@TheRazZPlay Thank you! I believe the VCR may be the issue as you can't set to channel three. It also may not have the right input for the converter piece. Looks like I'm off to a pawn shop or ebay lol.
Would be nice to know part number for adapter
Excellent
Ummmmmm, you could just buy the Atari Flashback. But your solution is totally awesome 👏.
Jerry Even the Flashback needs an adapter in some cases. I just bought a 4K tv & receiver & neither one of them will accept an analog input.
atari flashback doesnt have all the games you wanna play. some people may not like how Atari Flashback emulates games. You can't use cartridges on Atari Flashback. He also has an Atari Flashback
@@SupremeNerd Excellent point for sure 👍.
Any way to bypass the vcr and have it work? I'm hoping so. If not I guess I will get rid of something and see if vcrs still even exist.
they exist as long as thrift stores do and pawn shops. Dont you think if there was a way , he wouldve used that first or shown us?
What dissapointed me is that if you dont have a VCR you cannot connect the Atari to the TV I hoped to see connection without having other older devices...
Why are you using the VCR with the upscaler?..is it because your hdtv doesn't have the coax connection?? I tried hooking up my 4 switch Atari to my lcd hdtv directly into my tv's coax and I can see it powers on but no picture..just scrambled. I am just curious on when you need the VCR and when you need the upscaler??? or if both are nedded.
Alright so here's how it works. We need to go from the single rca, all the way to the hdmi upscaler. I've yet to find anything that can go from coax to rca, or coax to hdmi. Best I've found so far is a vcr, which gives the rca out. That makes it possible to go from the single rca, to the coax (female rca to male coax adapter), to the three rca and then to the hdmi through the upscaler. So yes, everything in the video is needed until someone invents a better (and less bulky) solution that also won't break the bank 😀😀
@@TheRazZPlay Hey thanks for the reply.
In the last decade someone gave me a 4 switch Atari2600. So I am kinda new to this hookup coompat thing. (My og heavy six is long gone). But I've seen people go directly into the hdtv coax port from the Atari with just the femal rca to male coax adapter and have success. That threw me off. I guese maybe some certain lcd's can do it..I don't know. Mine could not.
Anyway I have everything except the upscaler. I'll get one and mess with it again at some point. Funny because I own many devices with Atari emulators that play every game very well...but there is no better way imo than popping in carts and grabbing that classic Atari controller. I just have to make it work! dammit!!! lmaoo
Thanks again 👍
@TboneTenEighties glad I could help. And yeah, some newer tv's that are HD 1080p will play the older systems and some won't. Maybe same goes for 4k? But good news is if it doesn't you'll know pretty quick when nothing happens on the screen lol.
Keep an eye on this channel. I'm going to be working on some new retro console videos soon 😀😀 it might be od interest to you 😀
@@TheRazZPlay Will do
so you need a vrc player?
My atari 2600 is different. It has 3 ports on the back red white and yellow. What do I need to connect it to a HD tv
You need av cables
Does the vcr need to say "video enhancing" on it?
Mine isn't working. The TV doesn't recognize there is an HDMI connection. Any suggestions?
Is it not possible to do without a VCR. I don't really want a VCR hanging about
if it was dont you think he wouldve done that? Better yet, if youve tried it let him know
vcr are getting hard to find bro.. and it takes alot space... plus u need an av to hdmi adapter. would need something better than this solution.

I just want my Atari hooked up to a CRT tv in the back room. That smoothed out appearance that the HD tvs do doesn't work for me at all.
Thank you. I'm stuck. I have an Atari 7800, set to "square" (aka channel 3). The adapter on the Atari to convert to coax and connected to "RF IN" on the back of the DVD/VCR, Channel set to 3, RCA - Red/White/Yellow coming out of the "DVD/VCR Common Out" and into the video converter (I could not find an exact match to yours - I got this: www.ebay.com/itm/HDMI-to-3RCA-AV-CVBS-Composite-S-Video-R-L-Audio-Converter-Adapter-US-Stock/383759216655?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 I hope this version operates the same.) Settings on the video converter are "CVBS (that's the R/W/Y connection name) and "NTSC' (as opposed to PAL) and then connected through the HDMI cable to the 4K TV.
Nothing happens. :( The TV does not "see" HDMI connected (it's greyed out when there is no connection). I am a technician, so I know there are a dozen possibilities to troubleshoot (broken cable - whatnot), but since you have way more background than me figuring this out, can you offer some suggestions, please? Did I do something wrong?
I appreciate it. I am SO EXCITED to finally get the Atari working and I'm hopeful I'm nearly there.
So it wont work plugging into the coax in the back of the tv with the adapter?
you tell us...have you tried it?
Hi . Can you give me the exact name of the converter device. I could not hear the name on the video. Thanks

@@TheRazZPlay Thanks I appreciate your help. I wanted to share a video, I watching this other guy video on how to convert. He is not using a VCR and the 2600 looks good on his 65 inch.

I have an old salora tv with coax at the back, bought a rca to F cable, screwed it on the back of the tv but i have an image with static and no sound. I tried tv channel 2 and 3 with my atari switches on 2 and 3 as well, same issue. Any advice?
Sorry for the late reply.....my wife just kicked me and told me I need to get in here and help lol. So what I use is an rca female to coax male adapter and then screw that into the back of a tube tv. Are you getting any glimpse of a picture from the Atari at all? Also, how old is the tv? Getting static on a crt tv without sound might indicate a problem that's not from the Atari. Lemme know what your setup is and I'll try and walk you through it as best I can :D
@@TheRazZPlay The Salora tv i dont know how old, at least 12 years or older. I have the rca female to coax cable, i get a picture on the tv in color but no sound and lot of white static. I tried channel 2 and 3 on the atari with tv on same channels. Weird though, in Atari official manual it says to put the tv one channel higher than the Atari channel, so maybe i can try putting Atari on 2 and tv on 3 etc. Also i have a HD flatscreen with antenne, tried atari on this tv as well. Here i get a better picture with less white static, but still a lot of white little spots and no sound. Downstairs i have a Samsung 4K tv with a mediabox which has antenne connection, i could try that as well. Also i have an old DVD recorder with antenne in and 3 colored output to scart, i dont know if that could work? Oh and i have for power a universal adapter which is set on 9 volt.
P.s. and thanks for the help 😇😎
P.s. 2: another update: tried via vhs recorder with scart but no picture at all. Tried channel 2 with Atari on channel 3 and now i had sound and color image :) But unfortunately still with a lot of white static in the picture, finetuning does not help, makes it worse :(
I thought it was impossible to do Because how are you supposed to race the HDMI color beam
Turns out it's not impossible :D :D
@@TheRazZPlay Is HDMI color beam faster than the CRT beam
FAntastico !✌️
hi, would this work with a direct tv box instead of a vcr?
If you have one, give it a shot and lemme know if it works for ya 😀
Didn’t know 2021 was 3 years ago
Link to the upscaler please
Also Where did you get the video converter? Thank you
I picked mine up online from newegg. Just do a search for scart hdmi to rca. I'll try and post a link here later tonight if I can 😀
www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIAHAE7TA5961&cm_re=scart_hdmi-_- Here's the Scart to hdmi adapter and __www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIAA0D4C35470&cm_re=scart_rca-_-231-004D-00059-_-Product here's the scart to rca/s video adapter. So what you'll do is connect the two parts together, run the vhs to one side and have the hdmi going out to the tv on the other side. Voila!! Perfect video :D
Thank you
I still have a atari
I still love busting out Megamania on my 2600 every once and a while 😀
My VCR only has the white and yellow no red? What do I do then? Help?
Ok so the yellow wire is video, and the red and white are audio. I run an NES with a similar setup, but my NES has the red and yellow ports on it, instead of all three. I still have no problem running it on the TV. I'd say either a) give it a shot and just run the yellow and white wires into the upscaler, or b) hit up a thrift store and find another VCR that has all 3. :D Hope this helps.
@@TheRazZPlay I’ll give it a try thx, I may have more questions later…
Sounds good. Ask away if ya need more help 😀
What if you don't have VCR
Where can I get that converter/upscaler?
