HD Retrovision GENESIS and SNES
hey so apparently these guys are making RGB cables that work with stock systems. and i looked at some videos and it looks crisp. is it better than s video? and do i need a framemesiter if im using a good sony trinitron crt tv?
Comments
perfect thanks, hopefully it works on my crt and I'm guessing I don't need a framemeister?
Yes you do not need a framemeister, these cables are plug and play ready.

They are Component cables not RGB. They made a clever circuit in the cable that converts the consoles RGB signal to user friendly component output.
It's the best analog signal for the price. Otherwise you need upscalers, scart cables etc.
The HD Retrovision guys have worked their butts off making this.
It's a quality cable.
The cable will also work with the SNES mini & N64 IF modded for RGB.
I can attest to the excellent quality upgrade you can get from a SNES through component transcoding (so long as the transcoder itself is also decent quality). So long as your CRT accepts component inputs, no mods or pass-throughs needed to get this performance from a model 1 SNES.
Any idea if Retrovision has distant, lofty plans to make something like this for the Turbografx (talk about wishful thinking, right)? That's the one console that's giving me some trouble with extracting better video output. Love the Turbo but NEC made some really stupid decisions with it's design and marketing. *grumble grumble*
So, it's essentially a cable with it's own built-in component transcoder. Pretty nifty!

I would look into this but be sure to ask some questions about what revision tg16 was used, i would test this for you myself but i do not own a turbografx16.

precisly why I got a SNES Mini modded for RGB from ya (similiar username on ebay)
Thanks again for the work, can't wait for my cables to arrive so I can see it shine!
i feel like it's confusing whether these cables are intended for use on an HDTV or a CRT.
They are intended for newer tvs but any tubetv with component will work 100% since 240p was apart of the analog signal, some newer tvs do not process 240p so you will have to do a test and make sure your set works first. http://www.hdretrovision.com/240p/

It's actually more of a pain to find the ones that do support it. When I got my SEGA cable, all 3 flat screens on my house did not support it and hunting down a flat screen that did, usually were those that had s-video but even then some displayed different issues like blinking or incorrect image color.
These cables were really picky but the end result when find the tv is amazing.
I'm looking forward to future products from these guys.

Yeah that is why I plan on buying a sega nomad to use in stores, when I find a good cheap 4k TV I want one that process's 240p not just supports it.

When cable's run out here are other date's for more chance's
Wave 2: July 1, 2017 at 6:59pm CDT / 11:59pm UTC
Wave 3: July 8, 2017 at 6:59pm CDT / 11:59pm UTC
Be ready on the first at 7:59pm est.
Hopefully I won't miss out this time!
If you have a sega nomad, you could go to bestbuy and start doing the 240p test and it can be done without their cables.
