Post by Joseph FennFirst off let me say that I'll shout when I feel like it!!!!
Rick. I am talking about C128 in color mode conversion to
VGA!!! It has not been done yet and there is no known box that
will do that here or abroad. I dont care about the lowly C64.
I quit the C64 way back about 1989. The C128 is my machine and
theres no known converter box that can handle that into a VGA
or SVGA receptacle useing NTSC. If you can quote any url that
can do that let me know!!!!!!!!

How is that going to help the poster. He did not ask about the C128. Read
the subject line. Every C128 in 40col. mode (NTSC or Composite Video) will
run through any video converter that works with C64. The ONLY thing that may
not run on those video converters is C128's 80col. mode also known as VDC
video output or RGB or RGBI or also known as Digital RGB which is
functionally the similar if not the same as CGA for all intents and purposes
for those monitors. In that case, go get a CGA to VGA video converter box or
wait until A7yvm...'s video converter to get finished.
Now, for sakes, how does ANYTHING involving the C128's 80col. video output
being displayed on a VGA/SVGA monitor going to help the original poster. The
SUBJECT: line says "Which NTSC to VGA adapter is best for C64?". I'll
restate it in all caps now so that you can possibly read it:
WHICH NTSC TO VGA ADAPTER IS BEST FOR C64?
Key word hints: NTSC, VGA ADAPTER, C64
This means C64 not C128. The biggest key word is C64. This already cancels
out ANY RGB(i) to VGA converters. Since the C64 displays ONLY composite
video (in this case, we want NTSC). Since C64 video is the same as used for
television then wouldn't using a Television to VGA converter unit would be
the topic here? I would think. I would think narrowing the topic to video
converters that are useful for C64 computers would be what the original
poster wants.
Thank you. Next time, PLEASE READ THE SUBJECT LINE AND THE ORIGINAL POSTER'S
MESSAGE. Since I don't have his original message except for what was quoted
by A7YVM..., I base it from what was asked there. He wanted to know what
"Composite or Television (NTSC format) to VGA/SVGA converters are best for
the Commodore C64 personal computer."
Guess what, there are already some converters already out there, although
was not intended or designed for the purpose of the C64 but for the purpose
of seeing television on a VGA/SVGA monitor. Since, thusly, the Commodore 64
displays the same video format as a television (henceforth why we are able
to hook a Commodore 64 to a television with the A/V video jacks), would you
with all the mighty wisdom - think that those converters just might be
useful. Guess what, they already have NTSC and PAL to VGA/SVGA converters
and even ones that can support both NTSC and PAL video inputs and display
those video formats onto a VGA/SVGA monitor. I seriously hope you UNDERSTAND
what is said.
I had to repeat this multiple times, in hope that you might understand it in
one of the MULTIPLE ways that I said it and get a clue to READ what was said
before you open your mouth or put your fingers on the keys and the mouse
button (or joystick fire button)
