SCART Help for SNES & Genesis 2

Post by aka DaBigKahuna »

Hi, can someone point me to a good reference point on what I would need to buy to hook up a NTSC SNES and Genesis 2 to receive the best quality picture?

I've searched and find bits and pieces but am still "in the dark."

Thanks!

For a SNES you need to get a SNES specific RGB cable. Avoid all cables that say 'N64/GC/SNES' compatible. They aren't compatible with the SNES at all. They'll show a picture briefly and then go black.

If you do happen to get one of these cables by mistake you can modify them to work correctly but it does require a minimal amount of soldering skill and equipment. The mod is here:

Of course this is only for PAL systems I don't know whether or not you are using an NTSC SNES or not.
