I just made my own cable and hacked a DB9 into the back of the Saturn. Compared to a Duo this is dead easy. The SCART connector design is kind of a POS and most aftermarket cables I've seen aren't even up to the very low standard set for them by 1970s French engineers.

Personally, I'd rather manually switch a cable than pollute the signal (and air) with a pile of smelly sub-Harbor Freight plastic and shitty wiring.

retrogamecables is the best and you choose whether or not you want c-sync.

I bought all mine on eBay from a seller retro_console_accessories. I have a c-sync and a sync on luma for my saturnes. My model 2 Saturn prefers the sync on luma.

Dan recommended this seller to me as well.  I'm looking to then when I get SNES cables and a better Saturn cable probably.

I used this seller for my Genny and Saturn cables. Zero issues.

Ditto. All my SCART cables i bought through them. Great build quality and great video quality. A few years ago i stumbled across Retrorgb.com which led me to that scart cable seller/maker. Awesome resource for all RGB on older systems. Hope this helps any!

I got this recently. Almost double the price but I feel it's definitely a step up from that other converter.

Nice, I didn't know about that one.


BTW, last I heard from that seller (today) was that he was going to pull that listing.
Apparently, he's been in talks with some "technical people" in the community and needs to make some tweaks. Whatever that means.

I got this:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004XSSDPO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I didn't already have an S-video cable for my Saturn, so why not?  I am going to also get a SCART cable for a Super Famicom in a week or two to get the best Super Gameboy setup I can get for my TV, and I may do RGB for my Duo one day too, so I should get some mileage out of this device granting it works well.  My TV maxes out at component, but if I ever get a PVM or a framemeister, I'll have the cables already.

I'm in the US, I have a model 2 Saturn (I had a launch Saturn that died on me back in the 90's), so it's NTSC.  I have read it needs c-sync for the model 2, is it just safe to assume and buy a csync cable?  The device above is euro scart.
 I think I also need one with a breakout for RCA audio, the ebay links from retroRGB.com didn't seem to have one with both, so I thought I'd come here and see if any of you guys knew a quality maker of these cables.

Just get one from an EU eBay seller. As long as it's RGB, you're laughing.

You sure s-video is not enough?

Seriously though what others said retro_console_accessories makes good quality ones.

I bought my scart cable for my model 1 saturn from this gal.  http://ebay.com/itm/Sega-Saturn-stereo-csync-RGB-SCART-cable-for-NTSC-model-Saturn-lead-cord-/161614608138?nav=SEARCH She is awesome.  Her cables are high quality.  She does different sync versions so let her know your model, what you are hooking up to, and she will point you in the right direction on which cable to buy from her. Super fast on the shipping as well.

Build quality on this is decent: http://www.ani-av.com/shop/product_info.php?cPath=53&products_id=220 Looks like they sold through stock and are waiting on more.


Thanks for that link.

Mine arrived the other day. It's sturdily made, no doubt. As you mentioned- good built quality.

I'm happy with it. One of the better RGB SCART to Component converters that I've used thus far.

I had one of these when I had a JP Saturn. Also I have mega drive and PS1 scarts from this place.

I know I'm late to the thread, but I'd like to vouch for these guys as well.  They do great work and respond quickly to inquiries, unlike the other RGB cable seller based out of Florida.

I have that Scart to BNC cable and have no issues. Have you tried plugging/unplugging the scart ends for both cables?

I'm gonna check the pins and try again, the guy that sent the PVM cable assured me it was tested, so it's probably the genny cable.

Either way the picture is the TITS.
