Pre-made S-video with RCA sync cables?
« on: December 09, 2005, 09:13:50 pm »
I really don't feel like splicing my 10ft Monster Gold S'video cable to get my light gun working on my cabinet. :(  Is there a such thing as S-Video cables that have already been made with the RCA sync? 

If so, where can I purchase one?  I'd be willing to give up my Monster cables for something else on my arcade cab if they were already hacked.

Find an old PS/2 keyboard.  The cable can be used in place of an S-video cable.  The worst thing that happens if it doesn't work is that you're out a keyboard.  I KNOW it sounds wierd.  I thought the same thing when I first heard about it.  If I can find the dang link, I'll repost it here for you, but the only difference between the two is that S-video has that annoying rectangle.

Thanks, for the reply, but I don't think that is what I'm looking for.  I have several S-Video to RCA connectors that work fine for going from S-video to RCA.  What I'm looking for is an S-video cable with an inline RCA input.  Trying to hook up my Guncon 2 to my MAME cabinet which is hooked up to a 27" flat screen television via S-video. 

Here is an image of what I'm trying to get:

Check around there.  They've got several cable hacks.  Looking at that picture, I'm fairly positive I've seen something like that while looking for a BYOCable site I used to have. 

When you say "RCA Input", it looks like it's simply a standard cable that you say you have several of, only with a female end.  If that's the case, wouldn't cutting a male end off and soldering on a female end work just fine?  If that's not the case, then your picture just confused me more or I missed some information that's not matching up with that pic.
