Nintendo just continued to use the same a/v connector for the N64 and GC, so the same cable can be used for all three. Please note that the SNES Mini cannot use s-video. I don't believe I mentioned that before. You will probably end up using a lot of third party cables since the originals can be expensive depending on the system. They are not widely available, because back in the day almost everyone used RF or at best, composite. For your Genesis/CD/32x you should be fine using composite video out of the 32x. Master System composite video was available when the system was active. |

Another thing I was going to mention is that back in the day, most people used whatever cable came with the system when it was brand new. Very few people would spend the money to upgrade their video cable, so anything that didn't come with it is usually uncommon. I can't think of any systems that actually came with an s-video cable. The NES and SNES came with both RF and composite and I used both growing up. But I never bought a new cable for anything until I bought an s-video cable for my PS1 in college. I bought a TV that had s-video input and that's what got me interested in learning about different video options. And since that time I've always tried to use the best quality video available. Like you, I don't do a lot of system modding for enhancements, although I've certainly considered it. My Duo R has a component mod, but it came with it when I bought it and my Master System has the FM sound mod which I put in myself. That's about it. I've also bought HD Retrovision component cables for SMS, Genesis, SNES and Saturn. The only system that could be done better without a mod is the GameCube running component, but I'm not going to spend that kind of money. I still have hope for HD Retrovision or some other company finding a way to reproduce the chip used in the cable. |

I live in France and i can say ALL systems before PS2/XBOX works better with RGB SCART on a CRT TV, but slower ( 50 hz ) except Dreamcast ( VGA on HDTV for 480p games ), Game Cube ( the most expensive component cable in the world ! ) and NES ( the european composite is MUCH better than the french RGB SCART, because hardware is different, thanks NINTENDO ). Anyway RGB SCART is the best but S-VIDEO is very similar. For my Dreamcast I use a VGA-box and outputs are VGA and S-VIDEO plugged on a CRT, and for 240p games it's just beautiful ! |
