Received an email from Solaris offering 3 new pro-quality cables for:
PlayStation https://solarisjapan.com/collections/pr ... laystation
Super Famicom - https://solarisjapan.com/products/pro-r ... er-famicom
Saturn - https://solarisjapan.com/products/pro-r ... ega-saturn
$30 USD seems a bit much to me.
On paper, do these look superior to cables from Retro Gaming Cables?
Apologies if this has already been discussed before. Looked new to me.

Re: RGB cables from Solaris
They appear to have molded connectors on the console side which is a plus. They are JP21 only though.

Re: RGB cables from Solaris
I think the big difference here seems to be the fact that they use a custom pcb for all the scart components. The eBay seller just hand solders everything in place having components hang in the air.

Re: RGB cables from Solaris
Depends on where you buy your cables. There are also modders who use these little SCART triangle PCBs.

Re: RGB cables from Solaris
No good to anyone outside of Japan really since they're JP-21 only. Not sure why Solaris send out emails to people outside of Japan....

Re: RGB cables from Solaris
I think they targeted XRGB users with their emails and since all XRGBs come with JP21 inputs (or included adapters), it's a safe guess that all of them could (theoretically) make use of these cables.
