    This guy mods pretty much any system with AV/S-Video mods, including Genesis 2.

    Do you know what video encoder chip is in your model 2? If you have the CXA1645 you can do the model 3 mod. If you have the CXA1145 you can do the model 1 mod.

    And if you have any other video encoding chip, you\re screwed and you'll have to get a RGB encoder and extract the signal... not fun at all and cost a lot.

    I'd love some info on that Genesis mod too. Just bought some AV cables off ebay, but I'd rather have the jacks right on the unit

    No..They aren't compatible...Any Sony CXA encoder or equivalent, can do a great s-video signal

    I won one of E-bay a while back. Model 2 mods are hard to find on the net since only about 1 in 5 can be modded.

    I will tell you, that all the effort is worth it. The improvement is substantial, especially compared to the improvement of buying the cable for the Saturn or SNES. You'll never realize how blurry a Genesis is in composite until you see it in S-video. The Saturn and SNES didn't look too bad in composite.

    To answer your question on the Saturn, no it would not look any better. It would be the same or worse depending on the quality of the install. Best bet is to simply purchase the Svideo cable for Saturn

    I know I sold one (modded genesis 2 with controllers cables and games) on eBay for about $31 a few months back. =)

    I won't be selling anymore that way though. For the time it takes and cost of parts, PP and Ebay fees, I could do better flipping burgers for minimum wage than what modding that Genesis and selling it on eBay paid. =) One shot deal that one. Lesson learned.

    I heartily recommend ooXxXoo for the work. OSG is no longer focusing on such jobs, and retro-console is in the USA anyway. I hear he's quick to respond to communications, and is professional.
