I pretty much have all the documentation and materials to do a modest trim but my main focus recently has been on figuring out how to get video without the video encoder so I can cut it off and do a super trim. I've had mixed results so far trying to get usable video, hoping to have a break through soon.Any progress made with this?
Would you care to further explain those mixed results? I'm curious towards what you have achieved.I pretty much have all the documentation and materials to do a modest trim but my main focus recently has been on figuring out how to get video without the video encoder so I can cut it off and do a super trim.

I wired up a 24-bit Video dac along with a logic level shifter for h/v sync. The Blue and Green pixels are working which basically proves it is completely possible but for some reason the red pixels are not working. I'm positive it is not the wiring, I've checked continuity against the pinout several times. I believe it has to do with how the chip is configured. @Aurelio has been a huge help to me with this, it was actually his idea to try it in the first place. So, the PS2 video is a 15kHz signal which is a big no no for pretty much every VGA LCD module except for like 2 that I know of. I am not entirely sure where I will go from here. I would like to get this mod working but there also needs to be a better solution to get 30kHz video.Would you care to further explain those mixed results? I'm curious towards what you have achieved.
Innolux AT050TN22 with KYV-N2-V1 driverboard supports 15Khz signal. Tested on my GameCube and the bios screen shows.I wired up a 24-bit Video dac along with a logic level shifter for h/v sync.

I have attempted that with no difference in output.Innolux AT050TN22 with KYV-N2-V1 driverboard supports 15Khz signal. Tested on my GameCube and the bios screen shows.
Have you tried playing with the PS2 system menu settings to switch video signals and forcing progressive mode on games with hacks?
I also see you're using 5 regulators! That's impressive. Care to further elaborate on that as well.
If I read correctly you are not tapping H/V signals directly from the console but getting them produced on the DAC right?
Can you show me where h and v and the rgb lines are tapt?I have attempted that with no difference in output.
I am running the 1.7v and 1.8v lines with 1.75v
I am using the 24-bit RGB, the video clock, and h/v sync all from the ps2 cpu.
This.I'd assume Gman will post everything once he's got it all working the way it should be, similar to how we did the OMGWTF trim(I had posted a lot of relocations and stuff in the SSWiiT thread before the guide was released.)

FMCB only. I see little point in getting the disc drive functional on a smaller trim because you can already make the motherboard the diameter of a CD pretty easily with no relocations.@Gman
Like where this is going!
Will the DVD drive remain functional or is this trim based on FMCB mode only?
