HD Retrovision Sega Genesis Model 1 Adapter - Use with Genesis 2 Cable

Converts a male Model 2 Genesis 9-pin mini-DIN connector to a male Model 1 Genesis 262° 8-pin DIN connector. Use it in conjunction with the HD Retrovision Genesis YPbPr component cable to allow it to be used with a Model 1 Genesis or Master System. This adapter was also designed so that it may be used as a replacement for the "conversion cable" included with 32X consoles ("link cable" still required for full connection to 32X). However, do not use the official 32X conversion cable as a replacement for the adapter listed here (otherwise, the audio won't work).

The specific list of known supported consoles can be found here. Though it may work with others that haven't been tested, it cannot be guaranteed.

Warning: Do not use this adapter with the Neo Geo AES, Neo Geo CD, or any other console with a 270° style 8-pin DIN connector.

Your television or display must be able to support "240p" video over YPbPr to use this product. Please test your specific equipment using this simple test procedure. This test should be run for each console with which you wish to use with the cables.

Great adapter

Posted by Conor T. on Dec 11th 2024

Fit is snug, works great. This paired with the component cable is a huge upgrade over the composite options I had at my disposal for my model 1 Genesis.

Works great for monaural

Posted by Bill H on Sep 27th 2024

Perfect for connecting a Model 1 Sega Genesis or Mega Drive to a cable designed for the Model 2 Sega Genesis or Mega Drive. It works with any Composite and/or RGB Genesis Model 2 A/V cables. The companion HD RetroVision Genesis Model 2 A/V cable is an economical choice if you don`t need switching, and intend to swap that cable manually between retro consoles (PS 1/2/3, NeoGeo, Jaguar) using several of these pigtail adapters. This adapter is monaural only; for stereo audio you need to run a separate cable from the Genesis Model 1 headphone port. Quality construction and good fit.

My Genesis looks amazing!

Sharp picture, vivid colors, great performance. The only thing that would make it better would be if it came with the aux cable for the stereo sound from the model one. I am a big fan.

Perfect companion to your HD Retrovision Cables

This is what you need to run the HD Retrovision Cables with the Sega Genesis / Mega Drive model 1 consoles! Fits perfectly with your game system.

Great, even with composite cables!

Posted by D E on Feb 29th 2024

This will work great for your model 1, even with composite cables! However, when plugging in your desired 9-pin DIN cable into the adapter, it sticks out a bit and it doesn`t snap in, leaving a loose connection with only friction that is holding it together. The adapter fits snug into the model 1 genesis, though. Another thing is that since it is designed to convert model 1 into 9-pin DIN, it only outputs dual mono. There`s no extra cable to reach the front stereo audio jack.
