  • Compatible with Model 2 Genesis and Mega Drive
  • Compatible with Model 1 Genesis, Mega Drive and Master System with an adapter (sold separately)
  • For use with HDTV that accepts 240p over Component

Connect your Model 2 Genesis / Mega Drive console (or variant with the same connector type) to the YPbPr Component video inputs on your TV or other equipment! The specific list of known supported consoles can be found here. Though it may work with others that haven't been tested, it cannot be guaranteed.

NOTE: If you have a Model 1 Genesis / Mega Drive or Master System, you require an adapter to use this cable. That adapter is available for purchase separately

Genesis 3 owners: The Genesis 3 only outputs mono audio through the left channel, so it can be a bit tricky to hook up using the Genesis YPbPr cable. Leave the red (right) audio cable on the YPbPr cable disconnected, then take the white (left) audio cable and hook it up to the input of an RCA splitter (Y) cable. Use the white and red split on the other end of the splitter to connect into your TV, audio system, or other device. This ensures that you receive the mono audio out of both speaker channels on your equipment.

Your television or display must be able to support "240p" video over YPbPr to use this product. Please test your specific equipment using this simple test procedure. This test should be run for each console with which you wish to use with the cables.

Alexander P. ★★★★★

Plugged this into my Model 2 Genesis and the difference on my CRT was obvious the second I loaded up Sonic 2 — no more blurry composite smearing. The component signal is razor sharp, and the cable itself feels thick and well shielded. Worth every penny for anyone still gaming on original hardware.

Lily ★★★★★

I was hesitant to spend this much on a cable, but the difference on my Model 1 with the Master System adapter is night and day—colors are rock solid and the image is razor sharp. Hookup was straightforward once I remembered the adapter, and now I'm finally playing Sonic in proper component quality.

Nicholas ★★★★★

Went from blurry composite to this and the difference is honestly shocking on my CRT. Took a minute to sort out Model 1 compatibility with the adapter, but once it's hooked up the colors are rock solid and the image is super clean. Worth it if you've got a decent display.
