Connecting SNES using VGA(Video Graphics Array)input?
I attempted to use VGA to connect my SNES to my TV in high quality. I get nothing. I tried using these pinouts
SNES MultiOut: VGA:
Red->Red
Green->Green
Blue->Blue
C-Sync> H-Sync OR C-Sync
Ground>Sheild(also ground)
I get absolutely no video. Help?

Its RGB is 15 KHz, as commonly used in Europe via SCART.
I heard from many places that the SNES was VGA compatable. Is there a way to use the multi-out for YPbPr(component)? are 15 to 31 khz converters possible?
There are a lot of old (early 2000s) video processors that accept 240p 15khz RGB and convert that to VGA. The iScan HD/HD+ comes to mind as one of the cheaper options you can find on eBay. Another option is the SLG-in-a-box: Accepts RGB through a SCART cable and outputs VGA. http://arcadeforge.net/SLG-in-a-Box/SLG-in-a-Box::71.html

Some monitors might accept 15khz by splitting c-sync into h-sync and v-sync. But doing that isn't a standard VGA image.
Component has several options. You could replace RGB with component or make it switchable, install discrete component jacks, or avoid modding by using an external box.
Note HDTVs often have issues processing 240p component. Some component boxes upscale, others leave the resolution intact.
15 to 31 khz can be done. While overkill for what you're asking, the older XRGB3 converts RGB from Japanese cables into VGA. (beware it's not SCART!)
Im actually starting to look for maybe some CRT tvs cause im getting really mad about not being able to play all my light gun games. Does anyone have recommendations where to find them and what to get?
I never had issues with composite(or svideo) into a CRT so I feel that it may be the safest option...
As for finding a crt,some people give them away on craigslist or try thrift stores and I would recommend a sony trinitron.
If you have the right snes model you can mod it for component then find a decent crt that has component,you will get a awesome and crisp picture.

Thanks! im not fond for modding my consoles, so I will just use S-Video.

S-Video output on the SNES is excellent, you'll get an great picture on a CRT. You should keep an eye on the company HD Retrovision. They're close to starting production on component cables for the SNES. http://www.hdretrovision.com/
ok, Thanks! i tried connecting it using RGB into component, r and b went to PrPb, while Csync or Luma went to the tv, so the color was very off) but it was actual, solid pixels and not an anti-aliased mess!

The bad news is RGB is a different format than component.
The good news is you do not need to mod the console. Again, RGB can be encoded into component externally.
