Weres the best place to get a rgb lead and a VGA box?

Whats delivery times from Lik-sang?

Ohh and the rgb lead i would like the ones were you have a 3 pin output and a scart box on the end like the xbox and ps2 standards.

Lik-sang are good, so are play-asia (affiliates). Delivery should be around 4-5 days, depending on your delivery choice.

The leads supplied with the Xbox and PS2 are NOT RGB leads, it's just a scart adaptor. Get yourself a proper lead for all your consoles.

Ask the forum?

This should be in QA - www.videogameimports.com stock DC RGB cables.

That's not an RGB cable man - that is just a composite cable to a SCART plug, why not use RGB?

sorry to hijack the thread would those composite leads work with a japanese tv?

As was said before in that other thread and in the PM I sent - composite leads are the same regardless of region. Whether or not you will get an image using your PAL gear is down to the TV.

Euro SCART is not a Japanese standard - in Japan they use SCART connectors (under a different name) and are wired differently. Composite to Euro SCART > Japanese TV will not work, however you might be able to pick up the composite > Japanese SCART equivalent in Japan.

As an example of the difference: Composite video is pin 20 on Euro and pin 9 on Japanese, it's totally different. But as I've said many times now it's down to the TV - if it cant accept composite PAL, using a SCART type connector isnt going to help matters at all.

I Just got one third party one from Lik-sang, was very stiff and would only fit into my DC with some brute force. Needless to say it went in the bin cause i ain't risking loosening the connections on my lovely DC. Aviod.

I recently got a 3rd party DC svid lead from play-asia so I could do some capturing on my PC. Seems good value for 3p or whatever it was (possibly exaggerated).
