I've recently acquired a Tecnobytes V9990 Light, which I connect to a SCART to HDMI converter using its S-video output. For games this is more or less acceptable but Symbos' higher resolutions are barely usable. Because my monitor also has a VGA in, I bought a 15Khz RGB CGA/Component YCbCr to VGA Converter Scaler, the CGA input I'd like to connect to the V9990's DE-15 subminiature output. This way I can switch between the V9990 and my MSX's own signal using a button on my monitor. The alternative would be a cable connecting the DE-15 subminiature output of the V9990 to the SCART converter, which would mean I have to switch SCART cables, as I do now.
I have no experience creating cables, so I have three questions:
1. Is any of the two cables described available somewhere that I can buy them?
2. If not, what tools would I need for this project?
3. Which, if any, videos on Youtube or the likes can teach me how to do this?
Also, while the CGA-VGA converter has both a 15 pin input and output, the input is documented as 9 pins:
1 Ground
2 Ground
3 Red
4 Green
5 Blue
6 Intensity
7 Reserved
8 Horizontal Sync
9 Vertical Sync
How can I find out (or is there a standard) which of the 15 pins are the 9 ones used?
