Consolegoods - RGB SCART cable for Sega Megadrive 1 / Master System 1

For the price you can't really go wrong. Though this dosnt favourably compete with the more expensive custom made and individually shielded cables you can purchase from specialist sources. It is still a decent picture. If your looking for a more than acceptable picture and your TV still accepts RGB scart input this is a vast improvet over the old RF connection and a good stop gap till you decide to invest in the higher quality connectors. A decent budget purchase for a Mark 1 master system.

Unfortunately the cable is poorly screened and doesn't seem to contain the correct capacitor and resistor combination to terminate the video at 75ohms. It probably works fine on a CRT but when used with my OSSC it constantly loses sync. I bought a proper cable from Retro Gaming Cables which was much more expensive at £23 but is much thicker, properly shielded and terminated. It works absolutely perfectly with the OSSC.

I've bought a few different Megadrive cables in the past, some of which were loose or didn't fit properly. This once fits great and works well. Just what I needed.

Works a treat with new TVs. The AV cable that came with the Mega Drive created banding across the screen. This scart got rid of it straight away.

His didn't work at all. All I got was a black screen other than a no signal screen because the SCART was plugged in. I don't know if it's this cable or my megadrive because this is the first one I've tried.

great purchase

Very good product. Works with sega megadrive 1 mk1. See image.

The V-pin is too big for the MegaDrive (1) and can't even rest inside the console without dropping the picture.
