HDMI to VGA Adapter Question - Raspberry Pi Forums


hi everyone,

i'm looking display raspberry pi model b on flat-panel lcd screen via vga. wondering if there restrictions on using adapters.

here looking at: http://www.amazon.com/ourspop%c2%ae-ur0 ... roduct_top.

have read may not idea use converter not have separate power supply. know when 1 needed , when 1 not?

if matters plan on creating bartop arcade emulates snes, genesis, , gba games.

thanks,
mog

there risk using unpowered converter draw power through 1 of diodes near pi's hdmi port , destroy it, making pi's hdmi useless. has happened @ least 1 person.

anecdotally, i've been using 1 similarish 1 posted original model while now, without problems.
