SNK's Neo Geo CD brought arcade-perfect Neo Geo games home on affordable discs, using analog A/V outputs typical of its era. Its main video connection is an 8-pin DIN multi-out that carries composite, RGB and more, and the front-loading model adds separate composite RCA and S-Video jacks for flexibility. Two original Neo Geo controller ports handle the joysticks and pads. There is no digital output, so getting a sharp picture on a modern TV means an RGB SCART or S-Video route into an upscaler.
SNK’s disc-based Neo Geo with an 8-pin DIN multi-out, composite RCA and S-Video outputs, plus two Neo Geo controller ports.
