redsox2012:
I'm going to order one of the Genesis cables when they're available to the public. Glad to hear confirmation that I can use the same cable on both model 1 and 2 Genesis'.

Right now I have my model 2 hooked up with a SCART RGB cable connected to a SCART to component converter. The picture is amazing, but the colors have to be precisely adjusted inside the converter. When I moved it from my CRT to an LED TV, the colors were way off. It's a pain to have to adjust the colors for different TV's. Hopefully the direct component cable will be more consistent across different TV's.

I don't plan to get component cables for SNES yet. I have mine connected via s-video, and the picture is really good, nearly on par with the Genesis picture through component. With Genesis there's a bigger jump in quality to component because Genesis doesn't support s-video (unless it's physically modified). So, I went from composite to component on Genesis for a huge leap in picture quality, while I'm starting at s-video on SNES. Of course, I'll have to get component when I want to move my SNES to an HDTV.

I'm hoping that since they were successful in making these cables, that they can go forward and focus on other systems. I would love to see them reproduce the GameCube cable amongst others.

The GameCube cable is a whole different story. It had a proprietary chip in the actual cable that did the work. In my research it's been hard /not possible to reproduce that chip and most people have had to just mod the console to get the same effect. I'm extremely lucky to actually own some official GC component cables though :P

Well, the chip in the GC component cable has already been recreated by someone, so it can be done. And these HD Retrovision cables have chips built into them as well. I understand they aren't necessarily doing the same work, but my thinking was that they probably have the resources to recreate the chip needed to make the GB component cable. That's why I'm hoping that they work on the GC sometime in the future.

Been waiting for the right price on one of these for a long time.
