Actually a pretty decent cable IMO.

I have that same cable and I've been happy with it. Unfortunately, I'm still using composite on some of my other systems. I'm working to change that with some of the parts I ordered this week.
Let's see, I'm still stuck with composite on the following:
NES
Master System
Genesis
Atari 2600
Odyssey2

I'm not updating my video on consoles, even though I keep flip-flooping on that idea. For the same reason people want to use the original hardware. My setup, when complete, will be all consoles going to the CRT and a flat screen (My switcher can route to each), and I'll be using a computer with hdmi or vga to the flat screen. I'll most likely route a TV out back to the switcher too. This way I can use the raw RGB right from the processors on the emulators, and all the advantages they have (Like disabling snes sound interpolations and low pass filters on some games), and still have the legit "This is how it was" hookups too.
I may however add AV mods to the RF devices, and run both switched, I have to think about that. Many of those mods remove the RF component completely for space, something I don't want to do.

I have been going back and forth as well. However, I finally came to a decision. I will not mod any system which I am the original owner, or in other words, I will not mod any system which I bought new. I just can't bring myself to make changes to something original like that. However, if I bought it used, who cares if I make changes? Therefore, all my Sega systems are up for modification, and that's what I'm currently working on. I'm even considering modifying my Saturn and Dreamcast to have s-video out so that I can use whatever length cable I want (which may come in handy whenever I make my custome console cabinet). ;)

If you like 2D fighters there's nothing better than a Saturn, especially with it's massive JP fighter library.
It also has some of the best strategy rpgs around, Dragon Force!!!!!!! rocks, PDS is a classic!

We should also mention that for most of the RPG stuff you have to pay an absolute premium nowadays sadly.
I also forgot to mention one off my favourite games of all time. Radiant Silvergun. For me personally the pinnacle of
shooting perfection. I still suck at it though. ;D

Arguably the best game on the system. Not arguably the most expensive. Lol.
