Hello Guys, I'm planning to buy the newest HD retrovision cables soon, and I wanted to make an adaptor for the Sega Genesis 2 component cable to use it on the PS1. The team behind the cables is working on a prototype of their own, but they are refusing to sell it until they are sure it reaches their expected levels of quality. I decided to not wait for them and make my own, should be kind of simple, right? Would anyone care to give some pointers to a fellow retro-gamer in need? I found this on the internet, the pinouts for Ps1 and Genesis 2, but it seems way too simple to just match red green and blue: http://members.optusnet.com.au/.../gamescart/gamescart.htm Female mini dins here: http://www.vetco.net/catalog/product_info.php... And I'm planning to cannibalize a PS1 composite cable for the other end, as well as the cable. Any suggestions/walkthrough/hints/tips? Anything you can suggest will be greatly appreciated.
The first thing that comes to mind is that most PS1 composite cables don't have all the pins loaded on the connector - only the ones that are needed to connect the composite and audio lines.
Interestingly enough, it seems that most of the RF cables for the Playstation have a fully populated connector.
How about buying the PS2 AV style connectors plug sold here in Assembler Games? would those work? Would I need any kind of shielding to protect the retrovision cables?
I think that the easiest to find with a fully populated connector are these: You'd have to know the cable color wiring though,and it's been a royal pain in the rear for me to get it to work. (in fact,I never got my DIY RGB Playstation SCART cable to work)
