Before I get to it: Over the years I have been using the traditional S-Video mod on my Genesis 1 model (Same as the Neo Geo mod back in the day).
After reading Xian Xi's newer mod on Jamma Nation, I just simply changed the simpler Chroma line-out. I read up on my Genesis on Sega-16 forums and found out it is the one with the "Stinker" audio quality.
My other Genesis 1 in the closet is the previous model with a real Yamaha sound chip... so I switch out the top shell and transferred the S-Video to it. This time I did the complete newer S-Video mod from scratch without all those resistors from the older system mod.
The video is more stable (no more white ghosts in black backgrounds with white text for example), the colors and picture is even more vibrant. The problem which seems to be hard to get rid of is the jailbars. Sometimes they are hard to see, sometimes they show up a lot (solid 1 color backgrounds).
Has anyone figured out a "Real" solution to this, other than making an external circuit or S-Video modding a 32X? If not... then I guess I am going down the RGB SCART to YUV convertor route.
