Home Arcade System

I think the RGB->S-video/Composite Video adapter will work better for you. The adapter will have the PlayStation MultiAV port.
 
@RGB so you regret supporting that Playstation port yet. ;)
I personally never would have supported it, because just like with a HD15 port... People only expect one format VGA (640x480@31khz) to come out of it.
 
I'm even more adamant about using the 8pin mini DIN as the video output for the HAS, because at some point I considered changing it for something else.
 
Some folks claim 9pin mini din is better for RGBs than 8pin.

I know Terraonion picked 9 for the Super System to support/leach off Genesis 2 SCART cables.
Of course the problem with doing that is Genesis 2 SCART cables contain caps and resistors.
So the output of the SS had to be altered to use this type of cable (ie the video coming directly from the console is NOT ready to display).

I've become outnumbered in these modern times, but I'm of the firm belief cables should always be "dumb".
That is to say no components in cables ever, for any reason... Just copper that connects point A to B.

I RGB bypassed my NES/SNES/N64/Genesis, each console now outputs 100% ready to display video (75ohm) directly from the console.
Zero components in my SCART heads!
Of course I need to make all my own cables, because NO ONE sells 'em this way. :rolleyes:

Caps in the Scart head aren't as bad as the resistors. The requirement of resistors in the Scart head basically means that the device isn't outputting the correct signal amplitude and the impedance isn't 75 Ohm. In result, usage of expensive 75R impedance coax cables is a moot point. The resistors would need to be installed as close to the signal source as possible, and this could be tricky, depending on the plug type. I believe some cable manufacturers already do this, though.
 
I still don’t understand what cable I need for S video. A PlayStation s video cable?

Because you don't need a cable... You need an adapter!
The HAS only outputs RGBs, so you need something like a 8pin mini din to Euro SCART cable and then a SCART to S-Video adapter.

@Wraith - I offer the RGB->S-Video/Composite Video adapter, so you need this + the PlayStation S-Video cable.

@jassin000 - the "adapter" shown in your picture is just a passive splitter, it doesn't do any signal conversion.

Oops, haha! But yes it must be a active adapter (not just a passive/passthru).
@Wraith I've gotta be honest here... Why in the F*** would you want to use S-Video in 2019?

Its 110% beyond my comprehension!

So what? You've got some CRT TV with S-Video on it bro? Toss it!
Yes you heard me, toss it into a goddamn landfill right now (the fact you haven't already is somehow upsetting to me)!!!

You can get CRT TV's for free off Craigslist all day long, just look for one with component video.
Then get a SCART to component adapter, it will look sooooo much better than bullshit S-Video.
 
Well my set up is 90% hd retrovision cables. I ordered the hd retrovision ps1 adaptor and another genesis 2 cable, will I be good to go with that?

I only was inquiring about s video because i thought it’d be the easiest solution, I prefer component for my set up

I think that we gave you the wrong advice and recommended the HAS because most of us use RGB CRT monitors or OSSC\RGB mini and LCD..and you are happy with your consumer Sony TV CRT and component input...maybe the question should be, which is the better supergun out in the market with component that suits your needs since you are not moving to RGB and will stay with the Sony TV CRT. Maybe create a new tread asking this question so we move the conversation away from the HAS tread. I don't think that many of us have really look into component supergun solutions.

I must admit moving from EU to the states made me realize how grateful I am to have grown up with a world of RGB/Scart

Oh you Euro guys love to rub that in our faces... Lets talk about 60hz vs 50hz.
Not so cocky now are ya (aka 50hz is for pussys that can't play games at the proper/correct speeds). ;)

Then get a HAS, a 8pin mini din to SCART cable, a 3.5mm stereo audio to RCA cable and a SCART to component adapter.

  1. 8pin din is connected to the HAS
  2. 3.5mm audio is connected to the HAS
  3. SCART output is connected to component adapter
  4. component output is connected to TV
  5. RCA audio output is connected to TV

Ahah yup. I remember modding my Super Nintendo (the one that looks good, with the right buttons and color schemes 8-)) with a switch to that effect and voila never experienced 50hz anymore after this day :P
 
So I have the hd retrovision ps1 cable, (ps1 adaptor and genesis 2 cable) and my cps3 has rca stereo out. If I order the HAS with all the little optional adaptors, will I be good to go to get component video?

HAS —>RGB’s ps2 RGB Scart adaptor—>Hdretrovision ps1 adaptor and genesis cable—>TV

And

Cps3 rca stereo out —> TV

I know I’ll have to close the jumpers on the HAS for it to work.

I also know you guys don’t like HD Retrovision but I love them and I already have the cables

I can't give you a definitive answer to this, because I don't have the HD Retrovision cables, but one page earlier @Kano mentioned a setup like this.
 
would you consider doing the small modification for me before you send my package? I’d be glad to pay an additional amount for you.

I just don’t have a soldering iron
 
I just don't understand the part about the Genesis cable? ?(

If you have a HAS, with RGB's PS2 adapter and a HD Retrovision PS1 SCART cable... What do you need a Genesis cable for?

Video: HAS > PS Multi out adapter > HD Retrovision PS1 SCART cable = Component Video Output
Audio: CPS3 = RCA Audio Output (connect directly to TV)

Am I missing something?
