Title: Looking for SNES RGB cable...
Post by: zedrein on November 23, 2008, 02:15:45 pm
With the stereo audio already brought out. I have been able to easily find a SNES RGB cable (SCART) but the only problem is that the audio is in the SCART lead itself, I need to terminate the audio with RCA connectors for my applications, and it's getting to be a pain (not to mention looking very haggard) If I were able to get a ahold of a RGB cable with the audio already brought out, I'd simply just have to change the SCART lead with whatever my monitor requires (in my case a DIN 6 connector)

Thanks for anyone that can help.

Thanks for the link, but I am actually looking for a cable that has the stereo audio already terminated with RCA connectors and a SCART lead, this way I only have to attach a DIN-6 connector in place of the SCART lead and I'll have my nice stereo cables already nicely brought out. I have found SNES SCART cables, but they unfortunately have the stereo audio in the SCART connector, not brought out seperately.

I understood that but they dont make them so I posted the link so you can make yourself one.

if you have no clue how to do something like that I could make it happen for a fee.

also if your talking about cutting the scart end off also then any cable should do as the pinout from the console pins remains the same.

Dangit! I was hoping they made them with the stereo audio out!

The only real snag I've ran into making my own cables is doing it, how shall I say, neatly. I need to get ahold of somesort of heat-shrinkable breakout boot where I can distribute the audio/video to three serperate cables, then I need some sort of sheath to put around all those bare wires...heck, the video lines have 5 wires alone (Red, Green, Blue, Sync, and Ground) and the audio obviously has 2, which I'm sure your aware of.

Hey, if you happen to know of some good online merchants that would sell this stuff, I'd really appreciate it...as I said before, I've tried using shrink wrap to bundle all those loose wires together, but it's far too stiff, I just need some good actual cabling that I stuff the wires into and then heat shrink them tight, and a breakout piece of some sort.

Well thanks for your time and help!

If you want a cable try one of the universal RGB cables that work for the GC, PS2, and XBOX...if im not mistaken the GC, N64, and SNES all use the same kind of port for video. When I get home I'll check and let you know...

those actually don't do the RGB for GC sadly.
