Anyone know where I can get some of these? My rf adapter for my SMS broke, and I have no way of hooking it up! I have heard that they make a AV cable for the SMS now. Anyone have any info on this? Thanks!

Yeah, it's teh same A/V cord the Genesis 1 uses. It's actually a pretty standard part, and not just unique to the Sega systems.

Where do I go about about getting one? Radio Shack, or a game store like Gamecrazy or something?

Otherwise I could swear that somebody posted something in the B&S Forum a while back... saying they had a buch of these.

Let me ask a question about the ebay cables, I got one and it only has five pins. It doesnt even have a center pin. Does anyone know if the original cable had all 8 pins? I wish I had both so I could test whether the video quality is degraded.

@ Mr. poser wanna-be

The SMS A/V cable only has 5 pins.
I should know, 'cause I've got several.

Thanks ebay nemesis!

SMS a/v rgb questions part 2:

Is the green video signal absorbed into the composite video signal using the 5 pin cable?

More important question

Why is a 470 ohm resistor needed in the composite sync line? It is not mentioned at the gamesx site. I am building an RGB cable soon and would really like to know what it does or why it is needed.

Also, Omnedon had some composite cables (same thing) to get rid of.
