Amstrad CPC 464 my scart / euro connector mod

[azshaw123]

C64 loading music why?

[LeeBondo]

I love this guy..."as you can see, i got my beers..." lol. Thats pure funny shit, you cant make it up. Consequently, i have a CPC6128 with a colour monitor that works, my disk drive however, has packed up. Having to plug in a tape deck nowdays. Great vid, 5 stars!

[TheHairyTurd]

You can buy, all in one scart and power adapters off ebay for the cpc.

Its great to see people still loving their amstrads.

Thankfully my CTM 640 monitor still works.

are u a piss head?

[MustNotRead]

"hello, i will now show you my scart modification....as you can see i'm pissed out of my skull..."

haha, nice mod. i want to get a cpc and do the same thing.

[griftereck]

Ive got plans to mod my Amstrad, Spectrum, C64 and Sega to have a scart socket on the casing of the computer. So I can use regular scart leads.

[ScrewAttackEurope]

Do you know if it's possible to do the same mod with composite or S-Video leads?

[EgoShredder]

Classic computer (I owned a CPC464 with colour TV modulator back in 1987, plus a mate had one in 1984), great SCART mod........but play the damn game will you! :-D Oh and drink in moderation, your body will thank you for it and look younger!

[Terrythestud]

only playing m8 take it easy

[Terrythestud]

lay off the smack rentboy,clean ya flat up,

[paulisthebest3uk]

im sure if i was on smack, i would know how to modify a cpc motherboard to euro scart specification! Think about it....

[paulisthebest3uk]

on the booze only, dont touch the funny cigs!

[MitkoChan]

@paulisthebest3uk Are you implying that only unskilled people can become drug addicts?

[DaWrecka]

Interesting. I'd never thought about the possibility of using SCART with an Amstrad. I guess I assumed the signalling was too radically different to be compatible.

The monitor off my 464+ is still working fine, but I'll have to remember this if it ever goes on the fritz.

[kkbigal]

Great video - nice to see it actually worked. One wrong move and you might have ended up with a static-zapped hunk of silicon ;)

[JohnnyX50]

Well done mate, was my first computer, I used to love "oh mummy!" got a pc version now =] would be easy to make a plug using a correct pin DIN lead and scart im sure it just uses RED GREEN BLUE signal and SYNC for scart, also signal ground. great vid mate, kudos to you

[GLICKTON]

why use a real amstrad when you can just use an amstrad cpc 464 emulator? lol same thing

[scelbi8h]

why use a sports car when you can just play Grand Touring at any computer? ;) It's the same, some people prefer the real thing

[pants189]

ive found a similar kind of thing for a bbc micro- no clue if it works

[englander1971]

Cheers our kid! Absolutely resplendent,keep SHANTING THE BEER DOWN!!!! SHANT SHANT!

[animatorhaynes]

That's great Paul well done! Are you able to tell me where those diagrams are on the internet? Also, I've come across scart leads that simply plug straight into the connector in the past. Do you know if they work just as well?

[Hiddenfortress]

Excellent video, I recently bought two amstrads at a car boot for £1.50 (see youtube video Car Boot Sale) but got no monitors, so I think i'll be able to get them working now :)

I used a scart on my cpc videos, but i didn't make it.

[ukmarkh]

Fantastic stuff... oh and I think I heard Operation Wolf for the CPC or Speccy playing.

[junosix]

Isn't the theme from Predator in there too?

[ggman3000]

looks good

[Maxsmith3]

Great mod, good job paul.

[paulisthebest3uk]

Notice all the background music, they are all c64, amstrad cpc and spectrum tunes, you get a virtual medal if you can name every single song and the machine it was on! Its more difficult than you might think...

[paulisthebest3uk]

just look for an ay player (i recommend microspeccy) and a sid player and download ay and sid files respectively.

[SeparateEntity]

I know a couple of tunes you used. The only AY tune I know is Glider Rider, but I'm more experienced with SID tunes, of which I noticed two titles: Ocean Loader 3 by Peter Clark (the best C64 loader tune IMO) and some tunes from Midnight Resistance (awesome game, you should review it sometime).
