Also are you sure this works? I thought i read accounts online of euro scart cables not working on Japanese saturns
I used an official PAL RGB cable on both my model 1 and model 2 japanese saturn units.
Thanks! Would you be able to recomend the best place to pick up an saturn RGB Scart cable?? (official is preferred) But ultimately anything that will fill my purpose is of course fine.
no, I can't, sorry. depends on where you live. If RGC is out stock, they've probably run out of the saturn connectors. If you're stateside, try retro-access.com instead. Or anything you can find on ebay. Building saturn RGB cables isn't rocket science.

just whllst i have your attention - should i get the cable for Jap / US NTSC or PAL / euro on retro-access for use with my pvm bnc breakout cable?
I know its not too hard to build saturn cables but i've never soldered before and i'd prefer to just buy the right cables and get playing in pvm glory asap. ^__^
1) the cable "for PAL" works on both US and PAL saturn units. If used on a NTSC saturn unit, the switching voltage is missing, but that's irrelevant for use with breakout cables
2) both the "for NTSC" and "for PAL" cable are wired for Euro-Scart output.
If she says that the "for NTSC" cable does not work on PAL saturn unit, it would mean that the cable uses raw sync instead of composite video for syncing the RGB signal. Stupid that it's not mentioned this way in the description...
Anyway, both cables have the correct EURO-SCART wiring, so get the "for NTSC model Saturn" one in case you got a NTSC Saturn.
