It is a scam, the neo doesn't output s-video via the 8 pin din.

RCA to S-Video adapters are quite common, I'm sure this cable is just attempting something similar. Can't imagine it would have any impact on the quality if the cable worked.

Get yourself an XNeo-1 if you don't want to mod.

Ya, it could be the composite to s-video conversion which looks even worse that composite. Either way it is still a scam. They're saying it will improve the picture, no it won't.

And yes an XNeo-1 would be nice.

This cable I bought off ebay, has standard snk/midi looking side then a s-video on other. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=260381297108 Get the cable doesn't work, acutally turns my neo geo off when plugged in. Also tried it in my Neo CD same result. The seller claims that this cable works and still hasn't refunded my money. What is this cable from?

If he doesn't give you a refund just leave him a negative feedback, don't worry he can't leave you one since you paid for your item, the new feedback system is awesome for buyers. In the feedback just state the facts like "Cable does not work as seller claims, not true s-video" just refrain from swearing as ebay will remove comments with swearing.

or file a paypal claim and get your money back and then leave him a negative.

Got my money back, the seller claims that the cable works on his neo. I bet he doesn't even have one. :blow_top:
