RGB SCART cable for the 9-pin mini-DIN A/V port on the Genesis and Mega Drive Model 2, 32X and Nomad. The Mega Drive outputs RGB natively, making this the best analogue picture the console can produce without modification.

Notes & Compatibility
No console modification required — the Mega Drive outputs RGB natively. Buy from a maker that states sync handling and shielding (Retro Gaming Cables, RetroAccess, Insurrection Industries); vertical jailbars on Model 2 units are partly the console and partly the cable. With a 32X fitted, take video from the 32X. SCART is a European fitting; North American setups should look at HD Retrovision component cables instead.
