I used to have a SNES store display unit, that used a professional display, was hooked up through SCART, of course I was like 12-13 when I was tinkering with it, I had no idea what SCART was then. :P Bet let me tell you, that thing had a beautiful picture!

you need to get a SCART cable. You can hack that to work with your arcade monitor or you can buy this

That's not entirely accurate.  You can't pass through composite to RGB, but you can absolutely buy a converter box that will take a composite signal and "translate" it to RGB.  As I mentioned, though, it will look awful.

BurgerKingDiamond:

I'll rephrase. You can't convert composite to RGB without it looking like crap and completely negating the purpose of the conversion in the first place.

get a SCART cable.

Okay, if I get a scart cable, how do I use that as input for an arcade monitor and would this work for other nintendo systems like the N64 and gamecube and will a scart cable for the gamecube work with a snes?

elkameleon:

N64 doesnt output RGB natively, i've tried it with that same scart cable I had for the SNES, it just comes out black and white. Not sure about the gamecube though.
