Not trying to be snobby, Mike. I think what you did with your Saturn sounds awesome. My point was that you have a lot of skills and interests that the average person doesn't (even if it's easy to do, the average person probably doesn't want to understand it, much less build their own circuit).
My argument is that, outside of our specialized hardcore niche, I believe SCART is a non-starter. I think $10 a cable isn't bad, but it sucks when you realize that you need a cable for every console and then a switcher that will run 60 bucks for 3 connections and some form of upscaler. You're essentially starting from zero with a format that has never been officially supported in this country. I guess My Life In Gaming YouTube channel has done wonders for the market for all these things.
I don't even think most Europeans use SCART anymore. My wife is German. I'll have to get her to ask around, just to see if I can find anyone who uses it.
Anyway, thanks Chopper. Yeah, you remembered correctly. I had all my consoles hooked up to a very average quality 40 inch LCD (that I still use for more modern consoles). Finally, I upgraded to a Retrotink 2x for the older stuff, then I eventually picked up a local giveaway consumer 32 inch Trinitron with Component and S-Video. The screen isn't perfect. It's a flat tube that has a subtle horizontal bowing that, from my research, seems to need some internal adjustment. Generally, it's great to play on a legit old school setup and I'm happy to be able to enjoy tons of light gun games, especially since I missed the golden age of that era back in the early 2000's. If you haven't already, the SNES and N64 look great through S-video and the cables were super cheap.
