I’ve purchased several cables over the last few months from Retro Console Accessories for various systems. They’ve always been very helpful in answering my questions but they’ve sort of disappeared. I’ve been trying to get some information for about a month now so I don’t make the wrong purchase but I can’t get a reply. Hopefully someone here might be able to help.
My current setup is a Genesis model 1 with SCART cable. Recently though I acquired a Sega CD and 32X unit and my existing cable is no longer feasible. I’d read of a nice way to upgrade the cabling to work with or without the 32X.
The setup goes like this. Larger male DIN (Model 1) plugs into the Genesis and ends in a smaller female DIN (Model 2). A second male-to-male model 2 cable plugs into this and then into the 32X. Finally a model 2 DIN SCART cable goes from the 32X into the XRGB-Mini. That way if I remove the 32X I can still plug the SCART cable into the female adapter.
My question concerns the Sega CD. It looks like originally you needed to use a mixing cable to get all the sound from the CD unit but the above setup completely ignores this. Is this something to be concerned about or does this not even matter anymore? Is there a better cable option?
Opinions?
