Question for those of you experienced with using RGB connections...

How would you tell if you fucked up and got a Japanese RGB cable instead of a Scart RGB?

Is there any telltale sign that would point to that scenario rather than a bad cable?

So uh, why exactly did EA's genesis games have completely different boxes/carts?

Because they fought with Sega over licensing and they wanted theirs to stand out with that yellow tab.

dont know where I saw it or read it, but EA reverse engineered their own sega genesis! So the special shape of the games is also a reason for that

I don't think you'll get anything with the wrong RGB cable. the pinout is different...
