SFC Looks 'Ok' on LCD- Want Tweak Help If Poss?

[SuperDanX]

Yes I was, I'll try an unofficial one if nobody sells me an official one (please!) I'm reluctant as I used to run a sfc with a gc rgb scart and it was lush that was when I had a CRT mind..

Dan, i may still have an official SFC 21 pin RGB cable from when I owned a SFC. You could buy that if I still have it. I'll have a look tonight when I get home.

Thanks for the offer, just bought a cheap third party job last night tho, ill see how I get on with that.

Youd get a bundle for that sfc cable I'm sure Yakumo..

No problem mate.

speedlolita, how much do you think an official japanese SFC RGB cable would fetch? It's unboxed mind you.

[speedlolita]

I'm sure someone on shmups.system11.org would pay over the odds. I mean, I'd quite like it for my Nintendo 64 to use on my XRGB-2+ but still..

Maybe £25+?

[Yakumo]

Wow, as much as that! I'm going to have a good look for that tonight. It should be with my extra Mega Drive and Saturn scarts.

IIRC the official Japanese SCART cables are wired up differently to the UK/ European ones. They would need a bit of re-wiring to work on UK TV's.

You aint looking hard enough!

4.50 spent on Saturday, cable arrived today!

(now to find my soldering iron, and, erm a SNES)

Y'know if you don't want to bother with soldering, you can simply twist each capacitor so that the +/- legs tie up together. Job done!

[Corranga]

That might be a plan actually. I might give it a go to see the results, and get the 'iron out at the weekend.

Still have to get myself in the attic to get a SNES out (then convince myself that I don't need cable TV on rgb...)

It takes like 30 secs to remove em. Heh

[Corranga]

Took me maybe 5 minutes to do this, but I didn't have a stand for the soldering iron to hand

I used cutters to cut the capacitors out (1 at a time so I didn't mix the wires up) then soldered them back in, easy as pie

The BigBen cable (purple box, eBay auction above) is easy to open - unscrew the round bit, then the casing opens like a book, hinged at 1 end.
The cables are not the colouring you'd expect (ie R G B) but they are obvious as the ones with the 3 capacitors on 1 side of the 21 pin connector. There is a 4th capacitor on the earthing cable I think it is, but I just left that there.

Picture is definetly better than compsite is on my 32" LCD. I still suck at Pop 'N Twinbee though...

Maybe ?25+?

Maybe more than that. I sold an official SFC AV cable for something like ?16.

I'm thinking of buying a modded SFC and already have an RGB scart cable that was modded for use on a PAL SNES. Will this work on an SFC or are they wired differently?
