Found this pic on the internetz, but no explanation about which pins are used for S-Video.

snes av pinout

http://pinouts.ru/Game/n64video_pinout.shtml

good, so i should use pins 7 and 8 but theres a problem...

I just opened up the connector and the sockets are empty, theres only 5 pins on it.

Yellow
Red
White
2 grounds

I can reuse the pin from Yellow but im still missing one, i guess i can solder both S-Video grounds together to one ground from one of the audio channels.

Any idea on where to get one extra pin? on this pic >>4658439
theres an extra green cable thats not on mine.

original OEM s video cables are from japan, dont purchase anything that's not from there, thats why the cables you have bought are garbage!

>burned rubber sleeving
>hot glue to secure shoddy solder job
How fucking disappointing.

>>4658434
Don't desolder composite, just solder luma and chroma to the pins 7 and 8 and ground to pins 5 and 6.

I've been thinking about doing this sort of thing for a while now. thanks for the photo.
I assume you need to hack together multiple cords to get all the pins necessary. S-video has 4 pins. RGB has what, 8 total conductors? so then two cords would be enough. The plugs will be the wrong colors if they're left on

>modding the OEM component cables trying to get the A/V connector for an s-video cable
>doing soldering work inside the SNES
>instead of just taking the A/V connector off of one of the shit s-video cables, since it already HAS THE RIGHT PINS
OP, what in the flying fuck are you doing? Put the soldering iron down NOW. Rethink your plan. Take the red and white plugs and the A/V connector from the shit cable, re-wire with properly shielded wires and your good S-video cable.

Some of those consoles need resistors and caps, some don't.

Nintendo are bastards.

>>4658621
wtf

>>4658434
Are you sure the OEM connector even has the pins for S-Video? Nintendo usually skimps and only includes those which are absolutely necessary for the signal type being carried.

t. spastic idiot

it only has 5 working pins, the rest arr just empty sockets so i need to reuse the composite yellow pin and use it for either chroma or luma, but still im missing one pin... that is unless i can just solder all grounds to a single ground pin so it would look like this

red and white pins for audio no need to change anything.

2 grounds that go from each audio channel to separate ground pins, so if i solder these 2 audio grounds i can salvage one pin for luma

then i would need to solder both grounds for luma and chroma to the same audio ground pin and in theory it will work.

Do you guys think soldering every ground together will cause interference or video quality issues?

sorry to derail but does anyone know if this would work with a gamecube to an acer monitor? it's scart to hdmi (xb252q)

says it supports PAL

I recently order some cables for my gamecube. On ebay some guy from Poland is selling a home made one. I think the s-video cable looks thick enough. I won't get mine for another 2 or 3 weeks, but I think an $18 gamble is better than paying $50/90 for used and dirty oem/monster (or $10 for chinkshit.)

thefoo.83 by any chance?

If it's anything like the top spec Saturn cable I bought recently, you won't be disappointed.

>Supports RGB (50/ 60Hz) and CVBS (NTSC/ PAL)
wtf is that supposed to mean

>>4659623
Yes

>>4661083
Seems pretty clear cut to me anon

>>4659623
It most likely would (unless it outputs at some bizarre frequency that your monitor doesn't like) but it will also be fucking garbage. Massive lag and smudgy upscaling with terrible blur on anything fast-moving.

The Framemeister and OSSC are the only choice for upscaling retro consoles to HD displays.

>>4661498
ossc is not a scaler lad

>>4661683
Technically no but it does perform an essentially analogous function chap.
