I need the best output that I got in that era. For example don't want a moded snes to output component, or a component cable made since 2008 for the snes. Just want the best output in that era. --- End quote --- You'll have to start making the distinction of if you want to stick with what was ONLY available in your region or not then. Because for some consoles, different regions had vastly different quality/connections out of consoles. And if you want to get the best quality available out of the hardware, based on what was actually available in that generation, it may still require a mod to enable. |

This is how I took his request. The video signals used in the US for video games systems are the following (in order from lowest quality to highest quality) RF composite s-video component VGA (debatable, could be on the same line as component) HDMI What's the best choice from the above list for each console without moding or buying a cable that wasn't available when the system was active? If ^^^ this is what you are looking for, then the info I provided earlier is what you need. |

Another thing to think about is audio. There are different levels of audio quality. Luckily, this is a little simpler because there are not nearly as many options. In the US, the audio signal for video game systems could have been provided through the following methods. RF RCA (mono) RCA (stereo) digital optical HDMI Here is your same list from before: NINTENDO - NES: RCA mono - SNES: RCA stereo - N64: RCA stereo - GameCube: RCA stereo - Wii: RCA stereo - Wii U: HDMI - Switch: HDMI PLAYSTATION - PS1: RCA stereo - PS2: digital optical - PS3: HDMI - PS4: HDMI XBOX - Classic: digital optical - 360: HDMI - One: HDMI SEGA - Master System: RCA mono - Genesis: RCA stereo - CD: RCA stereo - Pico: - 32x: RCA stereo - Saturn: RCA stereo - Dreamcast: RCA stereo ATARI - 2600: RF - 5200: RF - 7800: RF - Jaguar: RCA stereo |

As for the tv I'm planning on buying a crt tv, but I have never seen one with s video or RGB scart input here in the Dominican Republic. I thing RGB scart is only use in Europe. --- End quote --- Need what was available in that era, made to work with the system in north america |

--- Quote from: TDIRunner on July 02, 2017, 08:36:33 PM ---Like others have said, Scart is your best best with several of these consoles, but in the US, that usually isn't an option. So I'm assuming you want the best option without using that. I've listed the systems from you OP that were not correct. SNES - s-video N64 - s-video GameCube - s-video PS1 - s-video Original Xbox - component (and digital optical audio) Master System - composite Genesis / CD / 32x - composite Saturn - s-video Dreamcast - VGA (or s-video if VGA isn't available) Jaguar - s-video --- End quote --- So there was a cable in that era made for this consoles, S video for Snes, N64, GameCube, PS1, Saturn and Jaguar. A Component cable for the Original Xbox Composite for the Master system, Genesis/ Cd / 32X, and S video Cable for the Dreamcast? (it will be realy hard to find a TV with VGA input here in the Dominican Republic) Remember for sale in that era that was made to work in those consoles. |
