Which SCART rgb cables do I need?

Post by mikehaggar »

Hi everybody,

I need two RGB scart cables from Retro Console Accessories (people here seem to recommend her quite a bit), however, I'm unsure which ones I need to get for my situation.

1) I have an AV famicom modded with an NESRGB, wired to the multiout.
2) I have a US fat SNES

I'm not sure which of these two I need (if any)...

or

Both auctions say they are compatible with the following: "Super Nintendo US version (fat,not SNES mini)". So I'm confused. This whole sync business is really confusing! Thanks in advance for the help!

In case it matters, I plan to have all of my RGB signals go into a switcher, which will output one scart signal into a component transcoder (probably a csy-2100 clone), and then output directly into my CRT (audio will be split off right before my transcoder and sent directly to the tv).

Thanks!!

Edit: Sorry in advance...I just noticed the other thread started yesterday which is VERY similar to mine...except since my gear is slightly different, hopefully I can get an answer here.

You should be able to use the C-Sync cables from the first link with both. Assuming that your NESRGB mod has "CS#" hooked up to the multiout ... I'd like to imagine the vast majority of installs would have this hooked up, but figured I should mention this just in case. Also, if you happen to have a (somewhat rare) SNES 1CHIP-03, then I believe you need to use something else... the second cable I'd guess should work in that case, but you can also mod the console itself to re-enable C-Sync output allowing use of the first cable.

I personally use the C-Sync cable with both my NESRGB modded NES and SNES 1CHIP-02.
