    I just stumbled on this site that claims it has plug in play snes component cables.
    http://www.hdretrovision.com/snes/

    Also has sega one's as well.

    I very familiar with the snes component mod but they don't go into anything technical regarding the cable.

    You guys have any ideas.

    Saw that a while ago. Most likely has an rgb to component circuit built into the cable.

    I'm working on a similar design myself, basically there is a circuit board at the end where the cable splits into the rca outputs.

    A pretty neat Idea. I was contemplating building a Component converter using Ace schematics as my next project. As I was not satisfied at all with the Scart Component converter I got from ebay. It sucks..

    But making a single converter for all consoles could be annoying as you might need to tweak it differently every time you switch console. I was also reluctant to build it inside the consoles.
    I had not thought of building the circuit inside the AV cables, I like it.

    Thanks for the info guys.

    Man that converter is small to fit in the component cable,anyone have a schematic,would love to build one.

    Cool idea but I barely see a difference between the two. My 1CHIP on my PVM (RGB) vs my Trinitron (composite) is night and day.

    True that their screenshots are not very good at showing off the difference.

    I felt the same way.

    On my component modded super fami it looks a lot better than what I saw on that site.
