just a quick question (sega genesis)

[harper]

Howdy, I just did that thing where you take a genesis rf adapter and an rca cable and make it into a composite cable for the genesis.
It seems to have worked out well, my genesis didn't explode or anything so that's a good sign.
My question is, is there any visual quality differences between the genesis model 1 and 2? Just wondering because I have the new cable I made in my genesis 2 and just thought it'd be cool to hook up my genny 1 to an RF to see the difference. But I just wasn't sure if they have the same visual quality to begin with to serve as a good comparison.
Also sadly I don't have 2 copies of one game to really notice the little differences but oh well. Hey, I saved like $7 by doing this. haha

I'm no Gen expert, but aside from the different designs of the models, I think everything is exactly the same.

I'm pretty sure the video chipset is the same in model 1 and 2. Also pretty sure that's the reason you can do the same s-video mod on model 1 and 2. The composite should look the same between different models.

If we're talking sound quality, that's a whole different story.

[harper]

Yeah I knew the sound quality was different that's why I wondered about the video quality. At any rate I ran them side by side, one with rf and the other with the one I made and it made a huge difference.

Plus I have a model 1 genesis to 32x cable so I can use this on either model, as long as I don't have the 32x on the model 1 which I usually don't because it has pbc duty.

They definitely do not all have the same video out quality hehe

Every model 2 i find in town has the shitty video encoder with the white lines like the NES top loader

Haha I think I have the "stinker", quite honestly I don't play my genesis enough to notice or care about the sound quality. I was just worried about improving the video quality because genesis graphics already suck enough.

Nah. Dynamite Headdy would like a word with you. The way you're playing it sucks. Play in RGB (or component in the states like me) with NO mod work required.

Edit: Forgot to mention that was on the plasma. I have a CRT with components now and it looks even better than it.

Yeah you're probably right but it's ok I'm pretty happy with the work I've done.

The expression on my face, when I went from PAL, RF, mono sound and MD2 (one with crappy sound chip) to NTSC, RGB, stereo sound and MD1... it really is a divine experience, but slightly less so if you aren't from PAL-land.
