All new tv's has no s/video

i should have phrased that better i just meant an adapter not an actual signal conversion, like the ones posted previously in the thread.

 

All the US versions of those consoles have RGB output too (except for the SNES 2). Not making an argument, just stating a fact.

 

Because S-Video is pretty decent when compared to RGB. Sure RGB has a somewhat sharper picture and colors are a bit more vibrant but S-Video is oodles sharper than composite and the colors are considerably better.

It's like:

VHS->DVD->Blu-Ray
is to:
Composite->S-Video->RGB

Yeh the jump produces improvements but the law of diminishing returns is there. I'd be curious how S-Video and RGB compare when it comes to something like upscaling. The additional picture quality might make a big difference when every flaw gets amplified.

 

Makes it all the more interesting Nomad kept RGB while SNES 2 didn't. To be fair neither released in PAL.

 

Was probably a personal choice done by the engineers of both. The Genesis line of things used off the shelf Sony CXA video encoders (and a few clones here and there) where as Nintendo seems to have done their video encoder in house. Even if the Nomad had been released in PAL territories the changes to the mobo would be minimal (account for PAL only titles with lockout, 50hz video output) with power being DC only.

 

I am sad for japan not keeping the 21 pin RGB, But was it replaced with D-Terminal if that's the same as rgb?

 

Not quite. D-Terminal has component signals. You need to recode rgb first.

Problem solved

 

The D-Terminal came years after RGB. Only a few TVs had real 21pin RGB and of course Sony being the arse holes they are had to made a "Sony" RGB proprietary port to make matters worse. D-Terminal didn't come around until the time of the Game Cube.

 

To this day I will never understand why they didn't support rgb in the us, would of been a hell of a lot less wires and easier to plug in too!

 

Retardedness

there is no other logical explanation.
