YPbPr Component Cable for Sega Genesis - HD Retrovision

HD Retrovision Sega Genesis YPbPr Component Cable

PLEASE NOTE: Adapters are needed if using this with a Model 1 Sega Genesis, Sega Saturn, or Sony Playstation 1.  Please use those links if needing more than 1 adapter.  

The Genesis YPbPr Component Cable will make every game from Altered Beast to Zero Wing look like you've never seen it before. A standard composite Sega Genesis cable results in blurry text, color smearing, and the loss of some of the original detail. But HD Retrovision YPbPr cables provide a clean, white balanced image that is crisp and clear. Use them on an HDTV that supports 240p, or on a standard-definition CRT for that classic look.!

The Genesis YPbPr cable has a Model 2 style plug, compatible with later editions of the Genesis. We also offer an adapter that converts this plug to work on the Model 1 Genesis and Master System, as well as adapters for several other consoles. The Genesis cable also includes a stereo upgrade jack to simplify audio connectivity. Using a male-to-male 3.5mm audio cable, it is simple to upgrade your standalone Model 1 Genesis or combination 32X/Sega CD unit to stereo audio.

The following charts contain a list of tested and confirmed console models which have been verified to work with the Genesis YPbPr Cable and Model 1 adapter. The intent of these lists is to give a general idea of what types of consoles can work with the cable and adapter, and are not exhaustive. Therefore, we expect the cable to work with even more models and console types than what is listed, but we are unable to explicitly put them in the list unless functionality is directly confirmed by us.

    Blown away!

    Posted by Mark Korso on Apr 25th 2025

    I`m blown away with the way these cables make my Genesis look. I am so happy and will be picking these up for other retro consoles I come into.

    Thanks!

    Level Up

    Posted by Kyle Castle on Apr 21st 2025

    This component cable is a huge upgrade for anyone playing on their original sega genesis or cd hardware. Having tried other cheaper options, the image lacked the crispness of replicators. With this component cable now, though, I can get a crystal clear picture. It has seriously made playing my retro consoles so much better (Mickey Mania on Sega CD and Flashback on Genesis look incredible)

    Great cable

    Posted by Ian on Apr 21st 2025

    These cables are great, they work for multiple consoles with the right adapter and really do provide a visible improvement over other av cables.

    HD Retrovision best cable for Genesis

    Posted by Levi G on Apr 16th 2025

    This cable is the easiest best must buy cable for your sega genesis that gives you the cleanest clearest pure video signal from your sega genesis. I use it to play the phantasy star series games as the colors pop and there is no more blur or rainbow banding in the picture do to its high quality 75 ohm thick shielded cover for no noise interference. The cable works great with my retrotink 2x pro. I highly recommend this cable for getting the best picture, ease of use, and price for any retro gamer or sega genesis owner.

    Excellent cable

    Posted by John S. on Apr 3rd 2025

    I highly recommend this cable. The video was drastically improved. I could not read certain text in some games using a composite cable. The component cable fixed that. However keep your composite cable too. The component cable will get rid of dithering making shadows a checkerboard in some games like Virtua Racing Deluxe or Virtua Fighter.

    Worth it

    Posted by CMS on Mar 21st 2025

    The price scared me off at first but these are totally worth it. The picture and sound quality is incredible, and there's such a massive difference going from RF or AV to these. My Genesis has never looked better. Highly recommended if your crt supports component.

    Posted by Kurt Fraser on Mar 20th 2025

    This Sega Genesis HD Retrovision cable will take your gaming set up to a whole new level. I couldn't believe how great the visuals are, it truly feels like playing my old classics for the first time. 10/10

    A must have for retro gamers

    Posted by Austin on Mar 7th 2025

    To get the best image out of your original hardware without upgrade, you need this cable! Games look so much better than with typical composite or RF cables.

    WOW!!! My Genesis Never Looked So Nice!

    Posted by Brian B on Mar 4th 2025

    I was really amazed by these cables. Yes, it`s a little bit of cash for a cable, but it makes a HUGE difference!! This was the final piece of the puzzle for my ultimate Genesis setup with the Mega Everdrive Pro. My only complaint is that my TV doesn`t read the signal for the Sega Master System games very well. But I came to play Genesis, and it looks AMAZING!! If you are on the fence on whether this is worth it, it is!! Go for it!!! And you`ll never go back to regular Genesis Cables, I promise!
