ebay member specialty-av makes a SCART to YPbPr Component converter that works really well. Don't know how difficult it would be to track down quality SCART output cables for certain systems though. Wasn't too hard to find one for my Genesis some months back and I'm really pleased with the results. Games look great on the little LCD TV I use for them.

RGB-Scarts are easy to find for any console that outputs RGB.
For those that need modding they can bit harder to find, but should still be easy.

BTW: For SNES be careful when choosing the scart as there some varioations that look the same but don't work as well.
Similar looking cables are: US SNES, PAL SNES, Modded PAL N64, Modded US old type N64, Modded US new type N64 and PAL GameCube.
Some sellers say that the cable works on all, but that is only partially true, as if you use wrong cable the image is either too dark or too light or poor looking.
But basicly there is I think 3 types of cables, but which worked on which I don't know.

I know the PAL SNES + PAL N64 use the same Scart cables.

That can't be true as N64 does not out put RGB.
I know the RCA cable + scart adapter works on any SNES, N64 and Gamecubeas well as AV famicom.
But we want RGB.

I've got them hooked up right now. SNES has the exact same connection as the N64.
That's what they look like, im not crazy :P
