I said screw it and went ahead and ordered some Genesis cables. I'm tired of not being able to play.

Will be doing the same myself, I have a component card on my PVM, might as well put it to use.

Got my cables in today. The picture is great, much better than what I was getting from my Scart to component adapter, which just wasn't working right. I took some photos with my phone, but they don't do it justice.

I already have a good RGB to scart setup going into my Wega, but curiosity got the better of me and I ordered a Genesis cable too. The thing is fantastic, the image is pretty much perfect, I don't think I could get any better outside of a straight RGB monitor. It is slightly better than my RGB to component converter, which has a minor sync issue with the Genesis.

I've considered these cables, but I'm doing RGB through most of my older consoles and a lot of my monits don't take component. So no major reason to buy these at their current prices.

So it has taken me a while to follow up, sorry about that. So first here are some pictures of the HD Retrovision cable compared to other component cables. I do have to say after using the cables for a while I have no complaints.

I tried taking some pictures of Dr Mario and I just couldn't take any good pictures. Everything was blurry due to me or just the game motion.

From left to right Wii Component, XBOX 360 Component, HD Retrovision Component cable.




Here is a picture of part of my setup. Everything in the picture except the NES is connected via component. I am using 2 composite switch boxes as component switching and a DJ power strip to control power to each console.
