SNES outputs RGB natively, Some N64 models can be modded to output RGB. Genesis outputs RGB too. |

I have the Genesis 1, and the only inputs I see are RF and maybe S-Video (can't tell for sure with the latter). |

You can buy SCART cables that will do just that. What I recommend that has worked well for me, a CGA to VGA scaler, they go for $30 on Ebay. You can feed in the RGB signal through the BD-15 port (VGA type), and get a scaled image. One way to do this is buy a sync strike, another 30...or you can make your own cables that go straight to the DB-15 port, using a sync stripper IC. A sync Strike will let you use SCART RGB cables (just RGB will be hooked up in the Sync Strike). |

I'm not looking to spend a ton of cash on multiple converters, and I don't know jack about modding. I just want to get an emulator-quality picture and sound from the original hardware, if that's even possible. |

For anything older than and including the Nintendo Wii, your better off with a CRT TV to be honest mate. PS3, Xbox 360, and the Wii U are the consoles that you should hook up to your HD TV, but if you want to hook up your older consoles to your new TV, there are tutorials on YouTube. |
