SEGA Mega Drive II Wires

[PinBiohazard]

Hello all,

A member of my family has a SEGA Mega Drive II they found in storage, It has no wires (AV Cable and Power Pack) and I was wondering what sort it needed, aswell as this what is the things I should look out for (as in common faults) and easy way to open and clean them, aswell could you lovely guys recommend some good games/ROMhacks to put on my watch list.

Many Thanks

For power just ebay it, same goes for video.
RGB-scart if you have scart, composite otherwise.

As for opening and cleaning: Just open it semi-carefully, it's quite sturdy so breaking it is hard. Then carefully hoover it at least, and wash the plastic parts (dry them well before reassembly).

all the best.

Phrasing was Mega Drive, not Genesis... so I'm guessing scart is an option.  If it is not an option for whatever reason, why do you hate PinBioHazard, Arseen?  Why would you recommend composite?  Genesis composite is practically worse than RF.  If you can't do scart, go with s-video.  Composite is only a last resort on Genesis - certain systems it's definitely okay, but Genesis is not one of them.

I know composite is worse than S-video, but quick check on Wikipedia said RGB, composite and RF, no word about S-video, so I suggested composite instead of RF as usually in this case composite wins.
But maybe best option is RGB + RGB to HDMI converter?

no!
the straight forward option is, as above you stated. (R.G.B./Y.U.V./scart/peritel)
oh, i got it wrong about the saturn socket, the pin outs are the same as MD-mkII, but it's shape is slightly different, offset.
so, in the end, no. (unless you go DIY and custom?)
