This cable works ONLY with Sync-on-Green monitors! If your monitor dosn't support Sync-on-Green you need additional electronic components (not listed here). Pins 1 to 4 of Playstation connector may be used for additional Stereo output.

Pin 5 to VGA 13 makes 480i over RGB/YPbPr work. Maybe needs a resistor to prevent double Luma if pairing Pin 5 & 12 to VGA 13 for all resolution outputs. Svideo luma to VGA H is the correct way.

To connect RGB Sync-on-green monitors:
