Converts a male Model 2 Mega Drive / Genesis 9-pin mini-DIN connector to a male Model 1 Mega Drive / Genesis 262° 8-pin DIN connector. Use it in conjunction with our Genesis YPbPr component cable to allow it to be used with a Model 1 Mega Drive, Genesis or Master System. This adapter was also designed so that it may be used as a replacement for the "conversion cable" included with 32X consoles ("link cable" still required for full connection to 32X). However, do not use the official 32X conversion cable as a replacement for the adapter listed here (otherwise, the audio won't work).

HD Retrovision's specific list of known supported consoles can be found here.

Though it may work with other consoles that we haven't tested, we cannot guarantee it.

Warning: Do not use this adapter with the Neo Geo AES, Neo Geo CD, or any other console with a 270° style 8-pin DIN connector.

Your television or display must be able to support "240p" video over YPbPr to use this product.

Richard Y. ★★★★★

Finally got my Model 2 console working with the Model 1 cable I already had, and the picture is way sharper than the composite I was stuck with. The 9-pin mini-DIN to 262° 8-pin fit is snug with no wiggle.

Nicholas ★★★★★

I dug my old Model 2 Genesis out of storage and this little adapter let me finally use it with my Model 1 cables. The 9-pin mini-DIN side clicked in solid, no wiggle at all. Picture came through clean on the first try.

Alexander ★★★★★

The 262° connector fit snugly on my Model 1 with zero wobble, and the picture quality through my CRT stayed razor sharp. It's a simple little adapter that does exactly what it's supposed to, and the build feels solid enough to last decades.
