Hello forum,
I am entirely hyped over my xrgb-mini Framemeister purchase, which I should have in a matter of days (tracking has it in my city but not in my possession yet )
Reading up prior to purchase I found the XRGB-mini only comes with a JP21 to 8 pin din mini, but all of my consoles use scart for RGB to my Sony TV currently, as I've never needed or had to buy a JP21 cable.. So I want to make my own euroscart to 8 pin mini din. It seems some people on this forum have either purchased or made their own cable - so can anyone confirm if the following wiring is accurate and will work.
DIN PIN | SCART PIN
1 | 2 (right audio)
2 | 6 (left audio)
3 | 20 (CSYNC - I am not using a 75 ohm resistor as of yet.. do I need?)
4 | 4,5,9,13,14,17,18,21 (GND)
5 | - nothing, not used afaik...
6 | 7 (blue)
7 | 11 (green)
8 | 15 (red)
I have made this cable, but don't know if it works yet..
Consoles I will be using:
famicomAV + rgb board by etim / or original famicom with composite only (no scart)
megadrive with region mod
super famicom
so if there is someone out there who has made this cable with success and or owns a purchased cable which works, can they confirm if this is accurate and will display a picture and provide audio. I am not using a LM1881 or 75ohm resistor or any capacitors at the moment, if needed I am happy to get anything I need.
thanks for any info / advice / comments

(sorry for ruthlessly googling and pasting these image links)
edit: I will probably just alter the JP21 socket to become a Euroscart plug as found here - https://amazingdiy.wordpress.com/2015/0 ... r-modding/
DIY euroscart to 8 pin mini din cable for XRGB-mini
Re: DIY euroscart to 8 pin mini din cable for XRGB-mini
Hey there! I know this is a super old post at this point, but I found it very useful in making my own custom passthrough cable for my NESRGB install. I figured I'd throw up the rough wiring diagram I put together in case it could help someone else in this situation. I've tested this cable with my PVM and RGB modded sets that don't expect blanking voltage as well as an RGB modified set that does expect blanking voltage and it works fine on all of them. Also works fine with my Framemeister!
Hope someone finds this useful! Thanks again for the info OP.
