Do I need pure sync SCART?

Post by Thrill »

I have 3 SNES SCART cables. 2 of them show that vertical striping/cross hatching but one of them looks fine (this is on my TV).

I attach the good one to my Sync Strike but then the cross hatching is present again. This is because it is using CSYSNC and I need pure sync?

I can't actually find a pure sync SCART cable anywhere though.

Pure sync is known to cure that problem, yes. Don't retro-accessories sell a pure sync cable any more?

Even if they become available, I can't get it.

Yip, that's worldwide shipping all right.

Odd, I bought two cables from her recently and she shipped to the UK no problem.

She listed them again:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Super-Nintendo- ... 1167675711

You could try to contact her and see if she will ship it to you. Not sure why she has no shipping to Europe now.

Its only temporary during December I was told, I asked if I could have a JP Saturn RGB Cable and they said no shipping to UK because of international shipping being slow at this time.

That sounds really stupid to me. Sure it might take an extra few days but who cares? I can understand they are probably worried about getting negative feedback for slow postage times (from ignorant/impatient people). What does bother me is having to wait like a month before I can even order the item I want. Meh... just my luck as usual. Sorry guys.

Its not just them, I've seen a few other American Ebay sellers doing the same. One being the plastic box protector company.

I got an email informing me that Retrogamingcables has SNES scart cables back in stock, so I ended up ordering it:

You can opt for the pure sync version, you just need to make sure you ask for it.

I asked and they said yes (they replied in minutes).

Ordered it. Hopefully it helps my issue.

That's retro console accessories just lost lots of business. I asked them about international shipping and still never got back after like a week. Just shows that awesome customer service! :D

Related to this, does anyone have experience with shipping from USA to Europe with the new "Global Ship Program". In the past it always took 4-10 weeks for stuff from eBay to arrive. Is it faster now?
