| Video Discription | This video discusses the various cables and video outputs from retro consoles. When I discuss each cable, the scope of the topic is limited to retro consoles and not the standard itself. Eg Component for example can produce HD resolutions, but not from retro consoles. Choosing the right Retro Gaming Cable Your TV plays a large part in deciding Which is best so if you're a RGB SCART kind of guy, then stick to RGB and upscale it. If your an American who never had the SCART connector on your TV, then stick to Component and Composite. OK let's clarify some points from the comments! 1. SCART isn't a format, it's a piece of plastic and metal. 2. RGB is the format inside SCART, but it can also carry S-Video and Composite. Please be specific. 3. Resolution is a determining factor when choosing cables! As the consoles got newer came higher resolutions, so naturally you may choose a different cable to get the best out of them. PS2 for example is best used with Component cables as the CONSOLE supports a higher resolution over that format only. 4. RESOLUTION: The term 240p describes a resolution of approximately 320x240 pixels progressively. It means each line is drawn on the screen one after another. Most retro consoles were limited to 240P so RGB was the CLEANEST best.way to get the video to your TV. If you mess about with 240P, you get 480i Standard definition television (NTSC) is 480i, a far cry from HDTV's 720p and 1080i. The i stands for interlaced. This means that every 60th of a second, half the image is shown. The first 60th shows the odd lines of the image, the second 60th shows all the even lines. Your eye/brain combines these into one image Think of 480i as a messed up 240P Things then stepped up to 480P progressive scan The Dreamcast is a great example of 480P in the format of VGA. Traditionally, VGA is 640x480 pixels, and yes can be called the same format as 480P. So as newer consoles introduced higher resolutions, we have to move to WHICHEVER cable supports that mode. So 480P for example can only easily be had from VGA or Component. It's then the best choice for THAT console. 5. Which cable to use? IT DEPENDS ON YOUR TV AND EXISTING SETUP!!! There's no real answer for ALL but here's my breakdown. UPDATE 2020 - I would now recommend a RAD2X HDMI cable if it's available for your console. Check them out here at RGC shorturl.at/vNSV7 Old consoles like Atari - Composite 240P or RF if that's all it had NINTENDO Famicom - Composite or RGB modded 240P Super Nintendo - RGB 240P Gamecube - Offical Digital component cables - 480P, otherwise PAL can run RGB 240P and NTSC S-Video 240P N64 - RGB 240P, or modded with Ultra64 to HDMI Wii - Do we even care? Use Component for 480P SEGA Master System - RGB 240P Mega Drive / Genesis - RGB 240P Saturn - RGB 240P Dreamcast - VGA 480P, or RGB 240P PS1 - RGB 240P PS2 - Component 480P but RGB can also do 480P when in RGsB mode. Stick to Component as it's easier and looks good. XBOX Original - Component 480i and 480P XBOX 360 - HDMI if it has it, otherwise Component Newer consoles - HDMI (Don't even mess about, if it has HDMI use it.) 6. Component is a fantastic format for newer consoles! :) RGB was the best for older retro consoles. I guess that's the summary that a lot of people just don't get. 7. On older consoles that are limited to 240P, RGB is the best. Things changed at the XBOX, Dreamcast and PS2 generation when they introduced HIGHER resolutions such as 480i and 480P which were generally only supported by Component. For more reading and a way better explanation of each console, go and harass Bob over at http://retrorgb.com/ He's a top bloke and has very interesting explanations of everything. I personally recommend RGB SCART cables from these guys in the UK. They make extremely high-quality cables with custom Sync audio options. They also ship worldwide for US customers.
