Component cables for SNES & Genesis

[flashbackx]

I got one of the AES adapters for the Genesis cable to test out. It actually looks pretty decent for an LCD.

It doesn't matter War Room or not. You just lost a ton of respect from me. Posting some bull shit picture like that is totally offensive to me. Thousands of people were killed and your making jokes.

Dude, calm your ass fucking down.

i know right

fuck that lil bitch

so, using a passive converter the Genesis cable can be used to connect the AES using component? that would be nice!

Ahh, I see....

I didn't realize that you were trying to do 240.

The fact that it was called HD Retro vision threw me off.

Yup, it's just a dongle you attach to their Genny 2 cable. I don't use it since I'm already using a scart cable; but I was impressed with it when testing as I didn't expect it to be a good option.

To be fair it is a misleading name but I guess I couldn't think of better. But hey it gets attention and most who would buy it probably wouldn't think anything of it. But yeah it bugs me a bit too lol

Reminds me of one idiot on the Facebook NeoGeoForLife group who posts photos of his CMVS displaying on his TV's OSD as 720x240 and calls it "720p HD" just because the number 720 is in there lmao

They are looking to do the same with Saturn and PSX too I believe. Also a dedicated Dreamcast component cable that would replace the need for a VGA box.

Intriguing. It's a more expensive option, but to be honest the thought of having everything running through a large component switchbox and not messing with rgb transcoders is somewhat appealing.

 

[norton9478]

I know that with my old dreamcast, I had to strip the sync from the composite video signal to get good rgb to an encoder. But to run it in HD component, I had to strip it from the comp sync signal.

Curiosity got the best of me, I ordered the Genesis cable to try out. I figure if I don't like it I can probably just sell it at minimal loss.

I would be all in for a DC component cable.

lol I ordered one last night just out of curiosity's sake.

They might release a Turbografx cable before I mod yours!

Gohung, you don't like it I'll buy it from you. I've yet to get off my ass to order the genny one...

 

[GohanX]

Groovy, I'll keep that in mind

First Picture is composite, game mode, on my Sony HDTV, 2nd is component game mode same tv.

Rev - Are you happy with it? Would you recommend this as an alternative to the whole SCART setup considering costs?

I don't know as I've never messed around with SCART setups. It certainly looks worlds better to me....and almost too bright. I had to toggle down the contrast (they have a high / low switch on the cable). Much easier on the eyes on low (at least in my mind).

Since I don't want to deal with SCART cables & converters this works for me.

Looks pretty good to me! That TV must have a good scaler in it, that Megaman X text looks awful when a TV can't scale the video properly.

Here is some Genesis text from Shinobi 3

I can tell you that it looks like some HDTVS don't like 240p sourced material. I have a cheaper Samsung that doesn't like the SNES cable at all. The picture is very jittery. My Sony seems much better.
