RGB cable woes with SNES

[dogman91]

Yeah the store I bought it from on eBay specializes in making RGB cables specifically for US consoles. I suppose I might try random ones until the buzzing is gone... seems to be the only way so far as I don't want to try modding anything.

Find out if those RGB cables are Japanese or European. If they mentioned Scart, it's probably European.

By the way, how are you connecting these cables to your American TV?

Turns out the SNES cables from there source from 3rd party cables that aren't shielded whatsoever! It appears only the official Nintendo ones have shielding. However, I messaged the seller and they are now going to replace mine with a fully shielded one! The store is currently considering adding the service for 5 extra bucks on the regular eBay sales. Very professional eBay store; I highly recommend them.

I currently connect them with an RGB to component transcoder.

It appears I have the same problem with this cable: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Super-Nintendo- ... 2eb81fca1c

The other cables I have from this seller don't have the buzzing issue. It's very loud during bright portions of games, like when a menu screen pops up, and it greatly effects the enjoyment of playing.

If anyone here has a North American RGB SCART cable for SNES that doesn't have this issue can you point me to where you bought it from (if you didn't mod it yourself)?

That same seller does sell scart cables modded to have seperate RCA jacks for audio. I haven't had any of this buzzing personally and that's what I use.

(I use a component transcoder too. Amazing picture quality.)

I have this slight buzzing with a bright picture like all white screen even with HDMI inputs on my Plasma tv whatever the source. Black picture and it´s silent. It´s weird! Probably not as loud as described in this thread but I also have it. What´s up with that?

[AppleQueso]

Damn you all it turns out I do have this buzzing issue! I would've never noticed it if you evil bastards hadn't brought it up!

FYI retro_console_accessories is now selling the shielded version of the SNES cable.

Just cut the audio L and R on the SCART side and solder 2 separate L and R cables to the connections. Don't forget to ground both cables...

Or just buy one like these if you don't want to do it yourself:

That's just SCART for you. SCART is very poorly designed. It is very hard to shield the audio from everything else since the pins are all close to each other (and unshielded). Really not much you can do. My Saturn and SNES RGB cables do the same thing.

Those cables with separate RCA audio plugs will definitely help.
