So, I use custom VGA-style cables for my consoles - I run them all through a 4:1 VGA mechanical switch which only cost me about ten dollars USD. That switch has some very nice metal shell, audio also included by 3.5mm jacks. There is zero crosstalk at all if you have more than one console om ny mistake (tested).
Anyhoo, this goes into the metal box along the other devices. Then, on the output I connect a Extron RGB interface! Those are real useful and shouldn't obsess over only the 201 and 203.
But yeah, out of the Extron it's just nice thicc BNC cables going to my RGB-modded CRT. This cable had NO issues at all - I'm assuming it's TTL sync voltage...? Anyway, If you are a Saturn fan with a presentation monitor. some rare 80s or 90s CRTs that can scan down to 15kHx, this will work. I've actually noticed dang near any PC CRT accepts composite sync - barring some old Sony and Sun monitors wanting sync on green.
So! If you're a Saturn fan who's got a MiSTer and is looking to use this w/ their Saturn on a new PC CRT monitor they got: make sure to READ!
You can still use this fine with MiSTer on any dang PC CRT if you leave scandoubler on. You can use this on a SEGA Saturn, just PLEASE don't buy this thinking "oh, VGA cable for Saturn?! Now I can play it on my __ monitor!". No you can't, pal, unless you have some neat 15kHz set up going to something like... oh, I dunno, my Toshina timm and NEC MultiSync 3D, you've got the perfect cable right here for those.
The build quality is pretty legit, it's not excessively thicc like an old Retro Access VGA-style Saturn I had that was straight-up excessive, to the point where you're concerned about strain. What we have here is A-OK. I got a gut feeling these are probably manufactured in Shenzen (the giveaway is the RCA RGBS and looking like old 360 cables on other cables sold here), but I sure haven't seen anyone else who have those universal cables that include S-Video connectors.
So,, that makes me happy you fine folks are being very thoughtful you have the wisfom and care about having cables on-hand that nobody else has had the balls to get made: unique controllers that others don'r take the risk oin. I'vw hyped this cable to other people a few times! Some pals of mine on Discord also have VGA-only setups, so I tell them to save their money waiting potential MONTHS until Retro Access finally has actual stock, I make sure they know about this cable!
It's basically half of RA's price, it works perfectly and it clearly thought-out to be a length that I'd say is agreeable for anyone:
` It's a bit long for me but not even close to being an eyesore
`It may be a bit short if you're making a crazy giant game-room
. .I can't think up any other gripe anyone would have!
5 stars, I hope to also use ome for a actual MiSTer someday!
