I sold the mv8k that i did the upgrade to. I did my pinout using an actual MV8-VGA card. If you have problems, please post. I dont have my original unit to reference. But I will help as much as possible.
Just remember this is a try at your own risk upgrade!
Refer to http://pinouts.ru/ if you get confused. I suggest everyone get the mouse to work first! You only need to have mouse connected to switch back and forth.The vga does not have power running to it. I suggest once you get wiring right, SOLDER ALL CONNECTIONS! Here is the pinout:
Red wire is CN 1
1 - 4 (m)
2 - 6 (m)
3 - 2 (m)
4 - 5 (m)
5 - 1(m)
6 - 3 (m) *
7 - gnd white wire
8 - 15 (vga)
9 -13 (vga)
10 - 14 (vga)
11 gnd grey wire
12 - 1 (vga red) white wire
13 gnd grey wire
14 - 2 (vga green) white wire
15 gnd grey wire
16 - 3 (vga blue) white wire
* = splice with vga #12
(m) = mouse
Wire # 6 is mon id, but splice this with VGA #12, and mouse # 3. Take gnds # 7,11,and 13 and connect together with VGA #5 gnd. (As long as you have two of the grey gnds together it will be fine). On the vga pinout 5-10 are all ground, the wire you may use might have two gnds within it. After it is identified, use the second gnd, usually vga #10, and connect with wire 15(grey gnd).
*If it dont work connect
6(mv), 3(m),12(vga), 10(vga),15(mv).
On my board pin (wire) #6 is connected thru a ground that has resistance in path. I ran into a problem when i did my upgrade, and it was ground related. If memory serves me correct, this fixed it. I know that with this upgrade, the mouse uses all six pins, which is different from standard ps/2. And it seems that it needs to be grounded.
Shout out to NZClint1, but I was right behind you on this upgrade!
Finally someone HACKED the VGA, that Roland Corp. does not carry anymore! Good Luck and shout out to all beatmakers on YouTube!
Try this at your own risk, or have someone that is handy to attempt!
Just type in "GR8-VGA / MV8-VGA".

NZClint1 gives the pinout for free and he developed the hack. Why pay $10 ...or anything for that matter?

Hey - He posted that he will give the pinout away only AFTER he seen this response. I pulled the auction anyway, so no loss for me. He did not develop the hack and give it to me, I did mine on my own. Only inspiration lead me to this. Plus his video quality was horrible, maybe a cheap camera, so there was nothing that i could have used from his 1 minute video. i seen someone on the nation was selling cards for 130usd b4, maybe clintnz - did you comment on that!
