Title: Found: Japanese 21-pin RGB Cable for SNES/SFC
Post by: Yoshi on June 15, 2013, 03:07:48 pm
As the title says, I am in the market for a Japanese 21-pin RGB cable for the Super Nintendo and Super Famicom. It absolutely doesn't need to be the official Nintendo one, and for cost reasons, I'd probably prefer it isn't. Does anyone have one available?

I wanted to follow up this thread with a warning for anyone else looking for one of these.  I received my cable from the ebay seller linked above, and it was wired for European SCART, even though it came from Japan.  The seller was somewhat belligerent too, telling me to use it on the right hardware essentially.  Miraculously, due to my lack of refined skills in the area, I was able to rewire the cable, but I still wound up paying more and waiting longer for what is a much more common SCART cable.  If you want Japanese 21-pin, don't order from that guy.

Then the cable is perfect for European users :)

I wouldn't buy anything from that guy, period.  Overpriced by 50%+ and awful small pictures to boot.

Yeah, except they can get them cheaper and faster a bunch of other places.  Who would intentionally order a European cable from Japan?

Hopefully this isn't too off topic, but what would you be hooking this up to? A professional monitor? I'm looking to buy an old Japanese PC monitor of some kind with that input but it's near impossible to find one to import.

He's got a XRGB2, if I recall correctly.

Close.  It's a 2-plus.  The 2s are better for PCBs, while the 2-pluses excel with consoles.
