Master System 2 adding A/V Out Continued
Now we need to solder wires from the board to the 8 pin din socket. Cut eight pieces of wire to about 12cm long, use the same colours as the wires soldered to the motherboard (that's 7 wires, plus an extra ground wire).
If you've used the the same coloured wires as mmmonkey, then the following table will make it very easy to get the right wire on the right pin, also included is the order that mmmonkey found it easiest to solder them.
| Signal | Wire Colour | Socket Pin | Order to Solder |
| Audio | Purple | 1 | Third |
| Ground | Grey | 2 and Outer | Last |
| Composite Video | Yellow | 3 | Fifth |
| 5v Switching | White | 4 | Fourth |
| Red | Red | 6 | Second |
| Green | Green | 5 | Sixth |
| Blue | Blue | 8 | First |
This diagram shows the pin numbering of the socket, this is the view from the rear of the socket, where the contacts are.
So the first wire is the Blue signal (mmmonkey used blue wire) to be soldered to pin 8 of the 8 pin din socket. Prepare all the points of the socket by melting solder onto them first, cut all the wires to length (about 12cm is more than enough), notice there is now 2 ground wires, the "Outer" one is soldered to the contact for the metal casing of the socket), "tin" the end of the wires, then start soldering.

Use the diagram on the first page along with the following picture and solder the wires from the socket to the Vero Board.
Nearly there, now we need to solder the wires from the motherboard to the Vero Board. Study the diagram on the first page again, and start soldering. Here you can see the first 3 wires soldered (Audio - purple, Red and Green), then the rest of the wires, remember to trim the wires on the underside of the Vero Board when complete.
Finally screw the 8 pin din socket into place (mmmonkey used M3 sized nuts and bolts), and stick the Vero Board into place (mmmonkey used sticky Velcro tape)
That's it, you may want to test it before you put it all back together. You'll need a Master System 1 or Mega Drive 1 Scart lead (you could make one or buy one (see our guide or links pages). Here you can see the socket in place on the rear of the console, and Alex Kidd, notice the TV indicating an RGB signal in the top left hand corner.
mmmonkey already mentioned that this guide wouldn't have been possible without Mike's webpage, so some of the credit must be given to him. mmmonkey modified his guide to make it possible to use a Master System 1/Mega Drive 1 Scart lead instead of hard-wiring a Scart lead into the motherboard.
Summary of Components needed
4 x 220uF 10v Capacitors
1 x 10uF 10v Capacitor
Vero Board (cut to 16 tracks wide, 10 holes tall)
8 pin din mountable socket
7 different coloured wires (needed if you want to make it really simple,
otherwise just one colour)
