HATE SCART
HATE RGB
LOVE S-Video
LOVE Composite

where my RF chads at?

Whatever I happen to find
Mostly cheap chinese cables but sometimes I find decent old cables on fleamarkets like a 90's Hama cable for my PSX
For SCART to VGA adapters for scalers I cut an old VGA cable in half and solder a SCART ass to it
Moder branded meme cables are dumb

It's soulful on a crt sure but not on a flat panel

>>7273281
I agree scalers are for LOSERS.

>>7273250
Should change the S-video fan to Composhit fan

I can't get my hands on a SCART cable for the Dreamcast so VGA it is, get fucked.

>>7273302
I don't think composite has fans I think most people just don't know there are other options

>>7273250
Packapunch. When I first got my Saturn I bought a cheap RGB cable from China, but it had problems where the image would get a purple tinge at times. Now all my consoles run through Packapunch cables, except the AV Famicom since it's composite only straight from the video chip for some reason.

I went with Retro-Access for all of my SHART cables. Superior craftsmanship but I doubt you'll be able to order any at this point.

>>7273828
I ordered one during the last time I saw them open in early November. It was for the Saturn.

>>7273250
i make my own from scratch like a chad, only a normie buys premade cables lol

I know you're probably larping but on the off chance you're not post pics of your globby cringe.

>>7273250
Can we all just accept that CRT spergs are just like audiophiles, except dumber?

>>7275243
Basically yeah

>>7273250
Fixed

>You haven't modified your PlayStation 2 for RF out? Don't you find that the sharp pixels take you out of the game?

In my experience S-Video and RGB/Scart look very, very similar. I'm starting to wonder what the huge fuss is about, honestly.

>>7276627
>modified
you can just use the RF AV one that fits on any Playstation (not 4 though). It evens works on the PS3

I really wish I had a TV with RGBs. Arcade monitors are cumbersome and I want to play Point Blank.

I exclusively use Packapunch. I have maybe 15 or so of them.

>>7276627
PlayStation 2 is not retro.

>>7277153
you're not retro

>B...B...but left is developer intended

The Famicom outputs in composite straight from the video chip so the only way to mod it in is to add a bunch of stuff on top. This also means that the developers didn't have access to anything above composite. In fact, only the NES and New Famicom had composite out of the box even, the original Famicom was only RF and I don't think there were special developer consoles that had composite.

>>7277410

This is why I play Famicom and Disk System games on the NES using an adapter

>>7277432
Why not just buy an AV Famicom?

>>7277438
Despite the name they actually only have RF out lol, I don't think Japan got RCA until the Super Famicom

>>7277438

Because I already have an RGB modded NES

>>7277478
Which cable do you use for it? Snes rgb?

>>7277459
I have one, you're confusing it with the model 2 NES which ommitted the composite jack. It wasn't officially called the AV Famicom, it's just used because "New Famicom" is confusing.

>>7273261
I prefer S-video over RGB. That being said, RBG has much punchier and saturated colors. More accurate I should say.

Scart belongs in the trash. Use a real connector like BNC or DE-15

>>7276627
PS2 over RF was how I first experienced it though.

In NTSC land, S-Video was all you had, outside of RCA jacks, coaxial or antenna. RGB wasn't an option. S-Video was barely an option. I forgot when composite became a thing. But it came much later than S-Video.

>>7278454
RCA (the company) blocking Scart from gaining any kind of support and keep pushin their own stuff on everyone

The Genesis really had poor video options in North America. It was either RCA or Coaxial/ RF. No crystal clear RGB here.Nintendo did release an SVideo cable for the SNES called the SVHS cable. My dad bought one when he bought me and my siblings and SNES for Christmas. I was able to use s-video on a 32inch TV and the picture quality was nice. I even used that S-video cable on my N64.

>>7273250
I solder my own scart connector on the end of cat6a f/ftp cables.

>>7277478
Did you mod it yourself like a chad or send it to voultar and get insulted for being a pleb?

>ycbcr
Do you mean YPbPr

>>7278323
My DVD recorder along with a bunch of other devices use S-vide so it is cozy.

>>7273250
I've owned pretty much every brand and, to my surprise, the best ones are from Gamescare, a Brazilian store.

>>7279906
Both exist.

>>7276098
You know what, I am going balls to the wall since I just found this and I have a DC to test anyway. I’ll report back what a shitshow this turns out to be.

>>7273262
I found a cable someone custom made on ebay. Its composite for PS1. It makes my character move faster on doom and the graphics look different.

I have a Dreamcast RF switch as well as an original SVideo cable. I know I have RCA cables for this too, as well as a VGA box. Dreamcast has so many video options. SVideo looks great with this machine and it is the nest best thing to VGA. But I use to plug the VGA cable into a 17inch CRT 1600x1200 75Hz monitor too, and Soul Calibur and Crazy Taxi looked amazing on it. But SVideo isn't far off. RCA looks like shit.

The reason you use SCART is because it's widely available. BNC is only on PVMs, DE-15 is really only for VGA which has a refresh rate incompatible with TV standards.

Well, this surprisingly less horrifying than I was expecting. The signal is visibly noisy but the actual image is at least on par with Composite (in fact the colors might even be slightly fuller, falling somewhere between Composite and S-Video). Audio isn’t bad either. If the signal wasn’t noisy I’d say it’d be a decent option.
