It's Adam Koralik here and today we're discussing a package I got from the UK, specifically from a company called Retro Gaming Cables. They sent me a few different SCART cables to test out and show you. How is their work? Let's see!

There are three scart types that should be addressed in the description so that some players aren't disappointed.

1. A scart adaptor - this is not scart - It is simply AV cables in an RCA to scart connection adaptor.
2. A regular scart lead. This is the same as above but with an actual (7 pin) scart connection. Quality wise, it's still just an AV cable.
3. RGB Scart - this is the true high quality scart. Usually 21 pin.

This will work best with the following consoles:

Atari Jaguar
Atari Jaguar CD
Nintendo Super Nintendo (Super Famicom) (original model only) (some users report issues with this console)
Philips CD-I or CDI (450 model not supported)
Sega Master System (model one)
Sega Genesis (Mega Drive) (models one and two)
Sega CD (Mega CD)
Sega 32X
Sega Saturn
Sony Playstation (1)
SNK Neo Geo AES
SNK Neo Geo CD

This will not work with anything older such as the Atari 2600, Atari 5200, Atari 7800, Nintendo Entertainment System, Colecovision, Famicom etcetera.

Some notable exceptions that do not work because of the limits of the console itself:

Nintendo 64 (unless RGB modded)
Super Nintendo Jr (unless RGB modded)
3DO (any model, Panasonic, Goldstar etcetera, though S-Video is supported)
NEC Turbografx 16 (unless modded or uses external RGB adapter)
PC Engine (unless modded or uses external RGB adapter)
Sega Pico

This device includes a VGA port for use with these consoles:

Apple Pippin (included on board VGA)
Sega Dreamcast (supports VGA, but SCART is supported as well for non compatible titles)

Component Input is also available, and is intended for the following consoles:

Nintendo GameCube
Nintendo Wii (not including the Wii Mini)
Microsoft XBox
Sony Playstation 2

The following consoles will not require this device in any way as they already have HDMI on board.

Nintendo Switch
Nintendo Wii U
Microsoft XBox 360
Microsoft XBox One (and Xbox One S and X)
Sony Playstation 3
Sony Playstation 4 (and PS4 Pro)
