I Need Saturn Hook up cables (Power cable and AV cable)

Post by backwardshole »

I noticed racket boy has been out of stock for these particular parts.. So the question is, when will there be inventory? Are you really out of stock, or has the store section not been updated yet? I would like to purchase these 2 parts.

If racketboy is out with no restock in the near future so you can't help support the site, there are plenty of Saturn cables on ebay.

Yeah, I wanted A/V cables as well (even thinking about getting S-video, even though I don't have a TV readily available with the plug). Too lazy to look up legit places on the web that also ship to Brazil.

Pinout of saturn video plug:

Just build a composite cable(comp video). If your TV supports it, s-video(luminance,chrominance) is tons better. Now if you live in Europe you could make an RGB cable for the best possible picture. The best connection in the USA is component, but you'd need an RGB>Component chip for it to work. However, s-video does the job nicely..

If you have problems with connecting it from the plug, soldering the cable from the bottom of the circuit board works also.

Like its been said, the power cable is pretty common among electronic devices. I'm sure you can find one. (my dvd player uses it, xbox 1)

Oops, missed your location and the wrinkle that can sometime add. :oops:

S-video looks pretty good out of a Saturn whenever you have access to a TV with it in future. You might try asking some of the ebay people if they ship to Brazil at least. *shrug*

Well, I wasn't OP, so it's OK if you missed my location :)

And yeah, I think I'm going to try eBay. Eventually.

Can try Play-asia. I bought my S-video cable from there and it works. Currently it's out of stock though. There's a SCART cable, but it's gotten many bad reviews, so most are wary of buying it :lol: But seems that they have changed supply/stock, so it's gotten at least 1 positive review...

The problem with their SCART cable is that it's wired for Japanese TV's which have the pins wired differently that European SCART cables leading to confusion by European people that buy one, and then claim it mot to work.
