how rare is this sega game gear a/v cable

i found a website says there was HGG-3006 sega game gear a/v cable
the part number

 

would be nice to play games on the tv with the game gear is it only japan they released this cable

 

First of all: punctuate!

Second: that is a cable to hook up video sources to the GG's TV tuner so that said video source can be viewed on the GG's screen. It is not for playing GG games on a TV screen.

 

Try as I might I cannot think of a worthwhile reason for wanting this, even now with a glut of portable devices which have AV outputs.

 

Didn't even know it existed.

Edit; To echo Ccovell.. raylyd, your posts can be difficult to read sometimes due to lack of punctuation.. Even just some full stops would help somewhat. I do think your contributions and comments add to discussion very well, but I have to reread sometimes to make sure I understand it correctly =)

 

Very nice find.

 

Obviously to hook up your Master System and play it through the GG.

.... wait.

 

Haven't seen this before, wouldn't mine having one for my Game Gear though.

 

I don't know if that particular SEGA licensed cable package is worth anything, but you can pick up a generic cable like that for a pittance...

I had some fun hooking up my Saturn and Dreamcast to the Game Gear this way

 

Hah, "It's like a Portable Dreamcast!"

I did that with my N64 too. *Blush*

 

I once thought it sounded like a good idea to try to play F-Zero X (N64) (4 player) on a tiny 4" B&W portable TV... I don't think there was any type of reasoning behind it... just pure stupidity and waste of otherwise perfectly good batteries. (Currently I keep wanting to use the PBP feature on my TV to split-screen Tetris w/2xSGB2s...)

 

I've got a cable like this from an old portable CD player. I've used it to hook up my Sega Nomad to my Game Gear via the AV input on the TV Tuner.

However, as the Nomad is NTSC and my TV Tuner is Pal the picture is black & white and distorted.

LOL yeah, if it would be that easy, why people bothering with making uber difficult and time consuming mods for playing the lil' GG on big TV.
