Thx for the advice. I got my composite cable and hooked the sustem up and it worked! I had to clean the 3 button controller and after that all my games appear to work fine. Most of them I had to insert and remove several times to get them to srart ip but they did. So what I have will work for now until I can get a component cable. For a SCART connection I need a AV port to SCART cable, a SCART interface box, and then the cable from the box to the Component TV inputs. Correct? Where do you buy all that? Amazon, ebay? What are the normal prices?

Not to hijack the thread but has anyone died to replace the joystick in this arcade controller. My kids broke the ball end of the stick off years ago and my attempts to reglue it have all failed. The stick broke just below the embedded bolt that the ball screws onto. Any suggestions?

I got my AV to composite cable and hooked my old Genesis 1 up to my TV and it does display video and sound. I can get my Sonic cartridge to start but it seems to be stuck in a restart or demo mode. The controller doesn't seem to do anything and Sonic starts running and jumping and then the game restarts in a different zone and Sonic starts running again. Should I clean the controller? What do you use to clean the rubber contacts and the contacts on the circuit boards? Alcohol? Is this a sign of a bigger problem on the console circuit board? Thanks for any assistance.

Is there a replacement for the plastic joystick in the arcade controller? My kids broke mine years ago and I tried to glue it together but it never holds. Is there a way to repair this by removing it from the controller? Is there anyone who sells a replacement part or perhaps a dead controller with a good joystick? Or should I just buy another arcade controller and toss this one? thx for any responses.

I still have the cable I used to connect my Sega genesis 1 to a Commodore 1084s RGB monitor. This cable has a 8 pin plug on the genesis side and a 6 pin male plug on the opposite end with a red RCA pigtail for mono sound. I no longer have the Commodore monitor and want to connect the system to my modern TVs with RGB inputs so my grandkids can use it. is there an easy way to go from the 6 pin plug to standard RGB RCA plugs or is some sort of converter box needed? I no longer have the old RF cable either so right now I have no way of connecting the system to see if it works. Should I just get the old composite video cable first?
