Composite from UMSA
sozuke:
Thanks guys!
Not a huge deal, was just hoping to check out the composite look. I was under the impression that SCART always carried composite on one of its pins, but maybe I was wrong, or maybe Arcadeforge didn't bother to implement this because people who buy the UMSA want RGB.

SCART is not a video format or even a standard. It is a connector, a vague agreement between manufacturers about 50 years ago for pin layouts and inputs.
SCART may carry composite video on pin 20, but that is just one alternative and definitely not an "always". You can't put all possible formats into one cable. Even for TVs, they often have two SCART ports, one dedicated to RBG and another for composite/Svideo.

Bingo
If you want to compare composite vs RGB then you should try using a console that outputs both formats natively. However, if you search the web or even the dreaded FB you'll find plenty of players have already done that.
