Yup, cause I have just the mono cable and so I'm not getting half the audio. So I want a stereo one.
-
one can be made fairly cheap
-
If you can find a Sega Genesis Model 1 stereo cable that should work fine. Should be around $10 shipped.
-
The Model 1 Genesis only had mono from the AV jack. I'd guess he's rocking a Genesis cable now if all he's getting is mono.

Yeah your right, the stereo AV cable I found seems to have been a mislabeled Model 2 cable. Are there stero neo geo cables? They should work as well.
-
Doesn't this just use the Duo type plug? If so, I have a couple extras.
-
I purchased a bunch of midi din cables several years ago off of eBay for <$5 shipped each. They produce a better image that official Turbo/PCE AV cables. Most that I got had extra cords, which I cut off. After figuring out which cords do what, I color coded them. I used them up until I got my first s-video modified setup.

All Genesis model 1 and AES AV cables are mono.
He'll need a PCE cable. Duo ones are the same as the CG ones, so they'll do if he can find them.

So, like this one (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PC-Engine-Turbo-Duo-Core-Grafx-stereo-TV-AV-cable-lead-/200776864350?pt=Video_Games_Accessories&hash=item2ebf3bd25e)?

In that case, care to let me take your awesome hack-job cable off your hands? ; )

I bought one from here (http://www.retro-access.com/ourshop/prod_345541-PC-EngineTurbo-Grafx-AV-cable.html) and have no complaints.
-
Offered an OEM Duo cable, for $15.00 shipped.
-
I bought one for $6 on gamedoctorhk
You can also find them on ebay for around the same price.

You know, exactly like that one. I gave in and got one from eBay for $8.99 with only $2.30 shipping. They appear to be homemade, but they're solid and work great. In case you are wondering, Neutopia's soundtrack is crap in MONO (sounds great in stereo - why did it take so long to notice this error?).
When I finally get some more spare change I think I'll do as BT did and pick up some flux (I have enough other soldering tools), some cheap, long stereo RCA A/V cables from Monoprice, and some MIDI/DIN-5 connectors and make a few to sell/distribute. It'd give me some soldering practice and a chance to give back affordably to the community here.

Damn. Are those fighting words? I don't recall Neutopia's soundtrack being a crappy stereo experience...
I haven't played Neutopia recently, but I'll have to give it a listen right now to see how I feel. (http://junk.tg-16.com/images/pcds.png)
To be continued...
UPDATE: Well, for some reason, the Neutopia .hes file is only playing the first subtune (sound effect). Hmmmmmm.....

Sounds good to me (http://junk.tg-16.com/images/pcds.png).

Oh, stoneagegamer have a sale on Megadrive 1 AV cables today. They're about $2.50 iirc. Only today though.

I typed the wrong word. I meant it's kinda crap in MONO, at least compared to in stereo. The mono cable for the PCE only sends one channel, not both combined, and Neutopia uses enough stereo in the soundtrack that when you only get one of the channels it sounds a little off and not nearly as good as the proper stereo soundtrack

Aren't the AV cables for the Genny 1 mono as well? The Genny 1 only does stereo through the headphone jack.

Yeah, you're right. Sorry I did know that, but because I used to use PCE cables for my Megadrive, I had it in my head that they were the same thing. It could well be that it's red white and yeller, but equally, it could be a mono cable.
