    aaaaahhhhhhhhh ok I see what you mean then. If you can, definitely track an official one from somewhere (110% recommended).

    [off topic]
    On a side note I finally fixed my Playstation SCART tonight as I was getting a wobbly picture on the Sony 40EX503, seems the TV just couldn't keep it straight for some reason (edges of everything on screen wobbled). I nicked the resistor out of the console goods SCART from the 5v pin and soldered it to the composite sync line on the PS SCART. Now I've got a solid picture again on that console. Well happy!

    Not so happy after all...lol

    The screen wobble came back on Rollcage after the screen when bright white after crashing! Also Alien Trilogy seems to set it off as well, screen didn't even go bright, just starts wobbling again after a few minutes of game play.

    Only happens on a 60Hz signal though it seems, must need more resistance. Gonna butcher some old electronics I have lying around.

    EDIT: Stuck an even bigger resistor on there and it's working properly now, just had a game of Rollcage without issue, will test Alien Trilogy when I get back home. No Idea how I'm going to stuff it into the case though as the resistor itself is fucking huge....lol

    EDIT 2: Alien Trilogy is now working properly, no sign of the wobble whatsoever now. Yey! lol

    Hey, I'm getting tiny amounts of screen wobble on my model 1 PAL Saturn that I 60hz modded and JP jumper modded.

    How exactly did you get the wobble to go away? It's pretty annoying.

    Count me in the RGB SCART triggering composite on a JPN Saturn camp. Except with me being USA it could be nigh impossible here to find the right cable or people willing to modify mine, haha.

    That's good to know. The problem is my location. I can't just go out and buy the correct cable in this country... If anybody even has ready made ones. The potential market for using euro cables on a japanese system in usa like I'm trying to do would be rather nil.

    Am I missing something here? I've never had an problem with getting RGB from my JPN White Saturn over Scart, using an offical cable (easy to distinguish these as they're not fully wired) and two unofficial cables. Maybe I'm just lucky?
