Well, it looks the same. So far I only have one reported case of a SCART -> HDMI adapter not working in RGB mode. I advised that person that they should attempt to return the adapter since I have many reported successes. Of course, as always, YMMV. Please let me know how it goes. Make sure you connect the ground wires and connect the external 5V source to the 100 ohm resistor as described. The negative line from the 5V source should also be connected to ground if that is not obvious. If your adapter implements the SCART signal standards, then it should work fine.
