Product Details

✓RGB SIGNAL REQUIRED, WHICH RULES OUT CLONE MACHINES: This adapter reads the RGB signal that an original console puts out, so it needs an unmodified original: for Sega Genesis Model 1, for Sega Genesis Model 2 or for NEOGEO. A clone, a replica or a heavily modified unit generally sends composite only, and the result there is sound with no picture. The adapter is also not built for Sega Master System or for Sega Saturn.

✓TWO CONVERSION CABLES COME WITH IT, WHICH IS THE POINT: Those consoles do not all use the same video port, and a cable that will not physically reach the socket is where most orders for this kind of part go wrong. Two conversion cables ship with the adapter for exactly that reason, so one purchase covers all three machines instead of sending you back for a second connector.

✓TWO BUTTONS SIT ON THE BODY OF THE ADAPTER: One steps the picture between the classic 4:3 shape and 16:9 widescreen, and the other steps the output between 720p and 1080p. Both are pressed on the adapter itself rather than buried in a television menu, so you can try the combinations on your own screen and settle on the one you like.

✓WHAT ARRIVES, AND THE ONE PIECE THAT DOES NOT: The box holds the adapter at 7.5 cm by 4 cm on a 43 cm lead, two video conversion cables and one micro USB power cable. The adapter takes its 5 V over that micro USB lead, and the wall plug for it is not included, so count on a spare USB socket on the television or a charger you already own.

✓PLUG IT IN AND PLAY, WITH ONE THING WORTH CHECKING FIRST: No driver, no software and no menu setup stand between the console and the television, so the adapter starts working as soon as both ends are connected. If sound arrives but the screen stays dark, the two usual causes are a console sending composite rather than RGB, and a micro USB lead that is not actually carrying power.
