All of those should break out to stereo RCA jacks with the right cables. PS1 I use the rear L/R outputs on my 1002. Dreamcast my VGA cable has stereo RCA jacks. For Saturn just the standard RCA cables are as good as it gets, but if you use SCART it should be fairly easy to grab the audio from the correct pins in this diagram. Either build your own lead, or you could probably buy one from China.

Route those to whatever you want. In my case, line level is good for my HD650s so I don't bother with an amp. You'll probably want a headphone amp with analogue input if you use lower impedance headphones.

Hello pal.

This is what I would do:
1. Order a PI2SCART
(http://arcadeforge.net/PiJamma/PI2SCART-Preorder::264.html?language=en))
2. Get a SCART M/M cable and a RCA M/M cable on Aliexpress
3. Breakout the SCART to Composite using a cheap chinese adaptor

This is the only way you could get 240p on composite, as the Raspberry Pi's firmware locks the composite output in 480i which upscales the picture and causes it to flicker.

Sure.
Red->Red
Blue->Blue
Green->Green
Sync Output->Sync

>You can use both for RGB, duh.

Well guess what? That's actually wrong. Pic related, it's either Sync or Composite, not both. The official cable use the sync pin of the megadrive AV port, your third party cable use the composite and use it as sync.

> while I'm saying the composite output has been INTENDED, by the very hardware engineers, to blur things out like that

More like they just had to use a cheap composite encoder so the price of the console wouldn't go too high. Like you said, they fixed that issue with the 32x. What are you to take assumption like these? Are you one of the Sega engineer's friend?

Anyway, this little "argument" is starting to piss the other anons like >>2040968 (maybe he's the one who got pissed and reported your other post?).

In addition to composite video, SCART also carries pins for RGB video.

If your SCART adapter only has a composite input, then it will only be outputting composite. Ideally, you'd use a Dreamcast SCART cable that outputs RGB instead, or a Dreamcast VGA cable if you're connecting to a monitor.

SCART is a connector type most popular in Europe. It is basically an all-in-one plug, as it carries video and audio signals from your device to your television. It carries an RGB video signal, as well as a composite video signal. Not all TVs with SCART ports accept the RGB signal, as some only accept the composite signal, and some will allow you to switch between the two.

RGB is a video signal made from splitting the red, green, and blue components of the output device, as opposed to having them all on the same pin, as in composite. By splitting the video across three channels, video interference is removed. There is also no compression on the signal, and no limit on color depth. Put plainly, RGB video looks sharper and has better colors than RF, composite, or S-video.

Component video is a general term for video signals split into two or more of their components, and can technically refer to RGB and S-video (which splits video information on two pins, one carries color [chroma], the other carries brightness [luma]) although component is most often used to refer to a signal type called YPbPr.

YPbPr, like RGB, is a video signal with three components, with green (Y), blue (Pb), and red (Pr) cables. YPbPr does not actually carry the three colors on three separate signals. The Y portion contains the luma signal and the sync signal, the Pb portion contains the blue signal, and the Pr carries the red portion, with the green signal derived from a combination of the red, blue, and luma signals.

RGB and YPbPr are functionally identical, neither being significantly better or worse than the other. YPbPr gained prominence in America in the late '90s, continuing through the 2000s. YPbPr is the highest quality analog signal available on consumer-grade American televisions, and gives the best video signal for the NTSC Gamecube and Wii, Xbox, and Playstation 2.
