Just an FYI, HD Retrovision YPbPr cables for SNES and Genesis are back in stock. They've been out for a while now.
https://shop.hdretrovision.com/collections/component-cables
What I especially like is the Genesis cable can work on the JVC X'Eye and CDX as well.
-
I still love mine. I recommend it if you have the cash to spend. I'm using them on SMS, Genesis and SNES. That was one Kickstarter that I felt I truly benefited from funding.
-
I backed them for the SNES and have been kicking myself for not going with the Genesis as well. Not as nice a price as the kickstart, but I'll take it!

Between Tournament Fighters NES Box and this

I am now legitimately in the red

Damn, I didn't know about the Saturn adapter. I want one, but I also didn't know how much more they cost after the initial run. Damn. I will have to think about that one.
-
For anyone whose on the fence about these cables... They are absolutely worth it, even at the higher than initial cost.
I didn't have the funds when the kickstarter was active, but I bought me two Genesis and a SNES cable when they first went on sale to the public. Love them. Honestly couldn't imagine playing either of those consoles without using them anymore. LOL.

Restocking July 1st

I bought my Genesis cable when they first went on sale to the public and I'm glad I did. The picture quality is amazing on both an HDTV and a CRT with component inputs. Best of all, it's the native resolution of the system. No modding, no trickery - this is the picture quality that the original system is capable of producing.
I ordered the Saturn adapter so I can finally hook my Saturn up to my big screen HDTV.
-
Great. Smoooooooth gets 2 fucking sets and I can't even get one.
-
I got my SNES and Sega cables ordered, with the requisite adapters for the Genesis model 1. Really excited to get all this connected up finally.
And naturally, yesterday I get an email that the OSSC is open for preorders. Hopefully it's still available come payday.
-
As of this posting, everything is back in stock!

Supply will likely meet demand for a while now, especially with one more wave set to release next week. Well worth it, but not a perfect solution as some HDTV's won't display a 240p signal. I have three HDTV's in my house, and only one is compatible (luckily it's my big screen in the living room). Also, from what I've read on forums, some TV's that will work with a Genesis won't work with a SNES.
I'm looking forward to their upcoming Dreamcast cable. Even though Dreamcast can natively output RGB via VGA (which looks great on a modern HDTV), not all games work when the VGA cable is connected to a Dreamcast. Certain games will only work via A/V or S-video (including my favorite DC shooter "Gunbird 2"). The new HD Retrovision cable is supposed to be compatible with all games.
-
I was unable to be at a computer when they went back in stock, but I was happy to see they were still available tonight when I got home. I ordered what I need to get my Saturn going with component. I'm still undecided if I want to do the mod work to get my N64 hooked up. The nice thing is that it looks like stock may be more reasonable going forward, so I can think about what I want to do with the N64.
-
Got me some hookups for the snes and my genesis along with the saturn adapter! Pretty stoked! I did the test for both systems and it seems to work on both the large tv's i would usually use. Can't wait to see how this looks for real!
-
Tested my Genesis cables last night and holy crap they look good. I remember playing Rocket Knight Adventures on my old RCA cables, and some of the graphics/text in certain areas was so grainy and gross looking. That's almost completely gone now. I've got some artifacting and horizontal bars popping up that is probably a kink somewhere in my setup that I have to trace out, but these were well worth it.
-
package is at the doorstep!!! stuck at work until almost 9pm tonight tho bahhhh
-
I should add, because I should have known this on my own but forgot...so someone else might not realize. The HDRetrovision cables will not work on a stock SNES Mini. It has to be modified for RGB before the cables will work on it.

Should be obvious, but it never hurts to put reminders out there.
I got my shipment notification on my Saturn stuff today.

Not necessarily obvious as US folk don't use RGB-SCART, thus they don't realize so easily that feature has been removed.

These things are incredible!!! seriously they make words specifically so crisp and clear its unbelievable...i never thought i would see these consoles have such a clear picture like this wow i am extremely impressed and so happy i forked out the bucks for these things.... so how bout my genesis cables were making a buzzing sound pretty loudly but after some research i realize this whole time i have been using the wrong power source and have been using the power pack of a genesis 3 on my genesis 2...whoooooops... so yea i gotta fix that ASAP!!!...
-
I've been using the Genesis cable and love it! I was number 2, (TWO), on the Kickstarter campaign.
The picture is beautiful.

It's crazy what the wrong power cord can do to your video. I had a similar issue with mine a while back.
And for anyone with the 32x/CD attachments, I HIGHLY recommend grabbing one of these:

never heard of this and would love to have it but unfortunately they seem to be all sold out at the moment.... bahhhhhh
-
Yeah, they sell out really fast. It's a bit like HDRetrovision...sign up for the newsletter/mailing list and wait for notification of incoming stock. Naturally, I bought mine a while back when I was using a Model 2 setup...and now I have a full Model 1 "Segazord" and I need to replace the cables. Might be willing to put my model 2 power cable up for grabs if/when that happens
edit: I lied a bit. Follow them on Facebook for inventory updates

I mentioned it elsewhere, but I figured it was worth mentioning it here as well. The Saturn adapter for the Genesis component cable works really well. I'm very happy with the purchase.
I noticed that the newer cables now have a small cap to go over the brightness switch. While it's minor, I still think it's a nice addition as I remember worrying that the switch might be easily broken on my earlier launch cables.
I'm really hoping that they can figure out a way to duplicate the chip used in the GameCube component cable and create something for the Dreamcast. Those two systems would be at the top of my list for the next cables I would want.
-
Got my correct power supply for my genesis 2 in already and yepppppppp.... buzzing sound 100% gone! It is still unbelievable how well these cables really make these systems look...
-
Got a chance to hook up the retrovision SNES cable. While the difference isn't nearly as significant as it seems to be for many folks (my gaming TV already does a great job with most any low res signal), it's still quite nice and I'll definitely be switching from S-video.

imgur compression sucks. But it gets the point across.
Here's a few without the compression.

(Post these on system 16 too).
Looks great on a 27" CRT.

HD Retrovision cables are back in stock today.
Also, the PS1 adapter is now available. It works with the Genesis cable in the same way the Neo Geo AES and Saturn adapters do.
-
Dammit. I completely forgot they were making a PS1 adapter. I just literally (two weeks or so) bought a PS1 SCART and a quality SCART to HDMI converter. lol.
Ah well, nice to have options I guess. :P
