Hi, I have a quick question about buying this SCART PS1 cabl

>>2829347
What'll it be feeding into? Some monitors or capture cards require a certain kind of sync.

>>2829347

Depends on what it will go into. SCART in itself is literally just a cable, a mode of transferring a signal from source to display device. Everything else will have to be made out between the two devices, if your monitor cannot display it because sync problems that is not the fault of the cable but your monitor being incompatible.
So check what your monitor wants, then choose accordingly.

I'm plugging it into a SCART to component transcoder, which will then go into my CRT TV which has a component input.

CSYNC is per se the best option as it uses pin 20 solely for sync meaning no interference but they charge you 10 pounds extra for it, Over luma would be the next best option but your transcoder has to support it and your source will aways have to be able to output S-Video, so if you only have consoles that can output S-Video (AV- multi does that) that would be a good middle ground. The first option uses pin 20 as a normal composite cable like you would use one of these yellow chinch plugs which means several signals are there at once which can lead to interferences. This is also why the last option costs more, the cable will have a filter that removes the video signals and only let the sync one through.
So again the question is what your transcoder can accept. If it can handle sync over luma that would be a good middle ground, more than enough for PS1/ PS2.

Do not do scart on PS1. Buy a backwards compatible PS3.

>he's American

If you are American, buy from retroconsoleaccessories on eBay instead. She makes amazing cables for less money and ships from Florida, if I recall.
Ditto on monitor requirements. What is your display?

Whoops. Missed the transcoder part.
You will probably want sync on composite. That worked on mine, when I used a transcoder.

If you want csync/raw sync down the line you can easily change it since these guys just heatshrink the other wire and leave it there.

>>2829528
Wtf? Why would you want to turn 240p games into forced 480i mush? The CRT might be shit, I suppose, but otherwise...

>>2829528
That's a great suggestion if you want the system to break in 4 months

>>2829528

TERRIBLE advice, 480i is literal out-of-sync cancer.

Do recommend retro gaming cables though, their Nintendo stuff at least is top-notch. You probably want Csync but check with your TV first.

If I was going to use one of this cables with a scart to hdmi converter which option should I select?

>>2829347
Composite if you are using a device that is compatible with the actual SCART standard.

C-Sync only cuts down on interference if the cables are shit to begin with; in which case you'll get so much audio buzzing that you'll go back to using composite cables.

Anything that actually supports SCART will work fine with composite. The only stuff that NEED c-sync are stuff that isn't scart compatible; like devices that use JP21 or projectors which need special dongles for it.

>>2829347
In general it goes:
CSYNC(Composite Sync)> Luma Sync(Sync on luma)> Composite video+sync(Sync on composite).

My recommendation is to avoid Sync on composite like the plague. Put on extra 10 on CSYNC if you want the most crisp and clean picture possible.

hope your TV supports 240p over component

She smears hot glue all over the wires and can be more expensive than RGC if you're not in Burgerland.

>>2833018
You can request that she not "seal" the connector up, if you want.

>>2829347
get one like this that has a breakout section for lightguns

This is how it looks
