Finally got my cables from retrogamingcables.com today.
Holyyyyyyyyyy shit does my PC engine duo look incredible. I've never ever seen anything like it. I'm seriously stunned. Interestingly enough I don't see a big difference on my snes going from s-video to rgb. Is this typical for others? Pics below.
Also...does anyone know if the output for a duo is the same as a genesis 1? They look the same but I couldn't get the cord to easily fit in my genesis. I didn't want to force it! Now I need to get an inexpensive scart switch box, as I'll be buying scart cables for my saturn and genesis.
Don't know if I'm correct in saying this but I think a 1CHIP snes (motherboard revision) provides a substantial difference in video quality over other motherboard revisions (1CHIP being the best), but that's for model 1. The absolute best picture provided comes from a Mini JR (modded for RGB output), but I read that the 1CHIP can step up to Mini's level with some more modding.
Yours might not be 1CHIP.
I opened my SNES recently and discovered it wasn't a 1CHIP, so I promptly sold it. It's not a guarantee but apparently an SNES is likely to be a 1CHIP if their serial number ranges from UN30xx - UN32xx.
I hope that helps with anything...? heh.
I've got a question myself to ask, I've been using a
CVID RGB to SCART converter that I got from amazon... while it makes the picture look great, it has its problems and it doesn't even work with my NES. PSX looked and 64 looked really good, SNES could have been better (assuming because it wasn't 1chip), but it wasn't enough to satisfy me. I promptly sold it and I'm finally deciding to just grab the framemeister, but I'm wondering, does the framemeister work with an RGB NES? My NES was modded but I'm afraid it's composite functionality was wiped out. It only has an AV out that does RGB. I don't know, I get the feeling that my NES might not work!

Holy shit, just looking at Mario Tennis makes my hair stand up. I can't believe how fucking amazing it looks.
