Mcbazel RGB Scart AV Cable for SNES GameCube(NGC) N64 NTSC

This is a very cheaply made cable that is not wired for CSYNC. However, if I don't put it near any unshielded speakers, it puts out a great signal from my 1CHIP REV. 2 SNES. People here have talked about rewiring it for CSYNC, and you can certainly do that unless you have a 1CHIP REV. 3. However, I felt no need to do so. The image quality I have is almost perfect and rewiring would be a waste of my time. You can get much higher quality cables from elsewhere for about $40 at this time and they are great, but with these you can get almost the same signal quality for 1/4 the price.

When I first started getting into RGB on retro consoles, I was just happy to get SCART -> HDMI so my SNES worked on my big new LCD, I thought I was living the good life reviving an old console... Well after I got this working I figured I'd start trying to get my other consoles on the RGB train, starting with the N64. This led to tons of research and I ended up finding a little something called C-sync (Composite Sync), which I thought was the same thing as sync on composite. OH NO MY FRIEND.. DO NOT CONFUSE THESE TWO. If I had to compare them, I'd say its like going from the old RF adapter and channel-3 to S-video...Buy this cable, and then do yourself a favor and move pin 9 to pin 3 (on the SNES AV connector side) and install 330 - 450 ohm resistor on pin 20 (SCART side), this was a yellow wire on mine. After this, you will basically unlock god mode for your SNES console and see ever bit of detail in crisp amazing color and sharp edges. My eyes still have tears in them after seeing the sprites that had been hidden by terrible video quality my whole life. Literally the best $8.99 I ever spent.I see people complain about being unsheilded but so far I haven't noticed a problem. I did go ahead and buy some metal tape to wrap around it at some point.. but I can't imaging the image quality getting any better than this.FYI, I was fully prepared to drop $50 on a pre-made cable, but they just don't exist right now, none of the retro sites had them in stock. So glad I didn't wait and just did it myself.

An okay cable with some video noise and Audio buzz.It can be fixed with some modding, but I only bought It Because I had already ordered a different one and was looking for a temporary rgb cable.This is okay in a pinch and can be modded to work better.But only if you know what you are doing.

This cable is not shielded and is wired for sync on composite. This means the noisy composite video from the console is wired to CSYNC on the SCART connector which is not great because the signals can cause major interference in a non shielded cable. This will work fine with the generic SCART to HDMI converter but even with that or an expensive video scaler or RGB CRT you will still notice a "checkerboard" effect on solid colors caused by interference. You can rewire the cable to use CSYNC very easily. However this will require your SNES or N64 to be properly wired for CSYNC as well as be modded for RGB if need be, sorry PAL consoles this is not the mod for you! If you do this mod like I did this cheap cable will work beautifully and you will have no visual artifacts and will save your time and money without having to wait for the higher quality RGB cables to come in stock that are shielded. The diagram shows CSYNC hooked up directly to the SCART lead but I would recommend adding a 330-450 ohm resistor in series as suggested on the retroRGB website. If you can solder a resistor to a pin and rewire one lead you are going to really enjoy this cable I know I am!

Modding all my old systems RGB SCART, even though I am in America. I was going to import some of those recommended UK $40+ cables, but gave these a try as UK was out of stock. Modded SNES with Lord Voultars RGB bypass and plugged this cable into the Retrotink SCART. Earthbound title came on and my jaw dropped. I have both RF out and SCART via hdmi hooked up to my Samsung LCD. RF out looked blurry and rainbowed, with ghost images and off sound. Switch over to SCART RGB and you can see every pixel, with straight lines and no blurring. I have no reason to upgrade to those expensive ones. I bet I would not be able to tell the difference with my 15/20 eyesight. Maybe so impressed just with the price I was not expecting much. SNES seriously looks like its emulated on PC. I am still awestruck. This company needs to make a Genesis 1 SCART w audio jack, id buy it!

This is a great SNES to Scart cable for my N64, but it doesn't carry a wire for CSync, which is what I really needed it for, as I need both composite and rgb+sync. I ended up buying an LM1881 to strip the sync from the composite wire, which worked out well. This cable actually DOES include a wire for 5V out from the N64/SNES, that would have been a deal breaker if it hadn't.I give this a 4 out of 5 stars, as it's really only missing the dedicated sync wire(which could've been wired to pin 19 on the Scart connector).If there were a standard way to transmit the S-Video chroma and luma signals through a Scart connection, I might complain about there not being any S-Video wires, but since there isn't, I'm not too worried about it(My end goal is to have a breakout box that takes input from the N64 and outputs composite+audio, component+audio, S-Video+3.5mm audio jack, and VGA+3.5mm audio jack, but for now, this works well with a little Scart to YPbPr[component] converter).

Es un buen cable para su precio. Sirve para SNES (saca compuesto y RGB -el SNES Jr no tiene salida RGB, por lo que en esta consola solo sacará compuesto-), N64 (saca compuesto en contola sin modificación y RGB en consolas con la modificación) y Game Cube (saca solo compuesto, el RGB no lo detecta, por lo seria mejor conseguir un cable de video componente con salida por el puerto digital). Lo recomiendo para salir del apuro aunque obviamente hay mejores opciones en el mercado como los cables de HD Retrovision, Retro Gaming Cables o Insurrection Industries. Probé este cable con la Retrotink 5x y no hubo problema. Solo tener en cuenta que no es el cable con la mejor calidad, pero repito, para su precio, cumple.

Purchased so I can open it and repurpose one end. Of the gamecube/snes multi-out port (12 pin) there are only 9 wires in this cable, two of which are ground. Cable is not shielded. Shield on SCART is not connected to anything. Cable provides L+R Audio and dedicated audio ground (SCART pins 2,4,6). RGB lines feed to SCART pins through 220uF 10V capacitors (SCART pins 7,11,15). Composite and 5V feed to SCART pins 20 and 8, respectively. SCART connector has an extra capacitor and resistor for the blanking signal.Multi-out pins that are not used: Chroma, Luma, CSYNC. Hope this helps.

I was sceptical and rightly so since the major brand ($60+) scart cables are praised for being so wonderful. However, if scart is your preference, this sub $20 scart cable will do. Though I am very pleased and experienced no issues at all, it is always a good idea to place your power cables and video cables separately; keeping them from running side-by-side or overlapping. Doing so helps to prevent any electrical interference from power cords that are not shielded well. I have found that keeping the power and video cables apart has always proved to be helpful when enjoying my retro game console on any tv.

The cable feels very cheap. It's quite thin and the connectors have that cheap plasticy feel to them. The SCART end looks like it comes apart but the "nut" on it is fake, just molded into the plastic. If you are buying this with the intent of modifying it you may run into some issues with it.However, it worked just fine with both my Super Famicom and my RGB modded N64, and the picture quality wasn't noticeably worse than my fancy RetroGamingCables cable. The trained eye could probably spot the difference, especially with high-end equipment, but they both looked good to me. It's still a major step up from composite, even with a cheap scaler.Note that this cable is wired with composite video as sync. In theory, that results in inferior quality, but again I didn't notice it. A more significant issue is that composite video as sync can cause issues with some scalers and switchers, so do your research first.

Cable causes a visible hue in part of the image. Thought I'd gotten a bad cable, so I ordered another. Second cable is even worse.Not to mention how cheap these cables are, as others have remarked. Don't waste your money on these cables.
