Any recommended HD15-SCART cable for EU users (Non UK or Switzerland to avoid Taxes)?

I tested the RetroTink HD15 to SCART cable, and it works perfectly. I dig the quality and look of this cable :)

EU-based users should note that the cable doesn't carry the voltage needed to switch the TV to RGB mode.

Does the HD15 ouput 5v or 12v to switch to RGB mode and/or 4:3 format?

The HD-15 outputs +5V on pin #9.

Sometime in September, I will offer HD-15 to SNES NTSC Multi Out and HD-15 to Genesis 2 adapters.

Will you also be resupplying the 8pin or HD-15 cables too? Or if I want Genesis 2 compatibility should I just get get HAS 5.1?

OMG!
Does this mean we can use HD Retrovision Component cables for us guys in North America???!!! 8o
 
@RGB
When the has powers on, it shows a firmware version - will it be possible for the user to
update the fw ?

The HAS V5.1 is back in stock! This is a smaller batch than usual, as I didn't know how the newly imposed US tariffs would affect the sales. The HAS and other items in the store are subject to 15% tariffs.

New items available:
  • 3D-printed enclosures for the HAS V5.1
  • HD-15 to SNES Multi AV output adapters

Thank you for your support!

The kick harness seems to be unavailable to US buyers. Is this expected?

The US was excluded from the shipping zone for some reason. It's fixed now! However, for such inexpensive items, I highly recommend sourcing them in the US due to tariffs/fees.
 
It says on the site that composite, s video, and component cables aren’t compatible. So does it just work with snes to scart cables then?

Hi everyone,
I’m finally setting up my arcade gear after years of storage, and I’ve run into a color issue I’d like to investigate with your help — especially from anyone experienced with the HAS Supergun 3.1 or the Oldskool Consoles SCART adapter (T.W. 2014).

I bought both the HAS 3.1 and the SCART adapter kit back in 2018, but only assembled them recently. They’ve been boxed and untouched until now.
I’ve just paired them with a Sony PVM-20M2MDE and a Neo Geo MVS MV2FS, and everything powers up and works fine — sync is stable, audio is clean, and controls respond perfectly.

However, the image shows a noticeable yellowish tint.
Whites look warm and creamy rather than neutral, and in the Unibios color bar test, the blue bar is slightly, but visibly weaker compared to red and green.
The PVM itself is fine — whites appear perfectly neutral with my Super Famicom and other RGB sources.

The HAS settings are:
  • CSync mode: Buffered (SW1 in position B)
  • Sync level: 75 Ω (JP2 closed, default)
  • Audio: Attenuated (JP1 default)

The SCART adapter is the 2014 Oldskool Consoles board, fully assembled with the LED and DC-DC converter section installed.
All solder joints look clean, but since I’ve just built it after all these years, it’s entirely possible I made a less-than-perfect soldering job somewhere.
If that could cause uneven RGB levels, I’d be happy to recheck or reflow a few joints — so any tips on which points or traces I should measure with a multimeter would be much appreciated.

For now, my only test setup is:
  • HAS 3.1 (2018 unit)
  • Neo Geo MVS MV2FS
  • Sony PVM-20M2MDE
  • Oldskool Consoles “T.W. 2014” SCART adapter (fully populated)
  • DarkSoft Multi-MVS (though the tint appears even without a cart, just in the Unibios screen)

If I set the PVM’s color temperature to 9300K, the image looks less yellow, but still not truly white — more like a mild beige tone overall.



I’d really appreciate any advice or measurement suggestions to help narrow this down — for example:
  • specific test points to probe with a multimeter,
  • expected voltage or impedance levels on the RGB lines,
  • or whether anyone has observed similar blue attenuation from this combination (HAS 3.1 + T.W. 2014 adapter + MVS MV2FS).

Any guidance or comparison with your own setups would be super helpful.
Thanks a lot in advance!
 
I just received my HAS 5.1,

What's the pin out on the HD-15 video conector ?

What's the easiest way to get component video out?

Thanks

I associate Old Skool with cheap third packaged accessories on Amazon, but I'm guessing you're talking about the UK-based modder. I haven't used cables from either, though.

Do you have another cable you can try? I've always used Retro Gaming Cables (UK), Insurrection Industries (US), and Retro Access (US).
