The VGA socket installed.

McWill's kit outputs 480p VGA video through a port installed on the top on the system. It, as well as the VGA-with-scanlines mode is toggled by pressing the backlight button or thumbwheel. Older firmwares of this mod outputted with a non-standard refresh rate (72.8hz) which would cause issues with some VGA displays. This has since been fixed, and it now outputs standard 60hz 480p VGA.
