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.

    Great cable probably the best around

    Posted by Joshua Pool on Feb 28th 2026

    Man these things fly off the market I just happen to see the day they posted their restock and then they were gone the next day! That goes to show you how in demand these things really are! I was lucky enough to be able to get my hands on one and I can agree with everyone else they really output a better picture.

    Have had a great experience with these cables. They are high quality and solidly built. The upgrade on my Genesis from composite is night and day! 100% recommend.

    Expensive but worth it

    Posted by Avaris on Feb 23rd 2026

    For a cable this is honestly quite pricey but it gives a VERY crisp picture and is honestly worth the cost

    Great quality cable

    Posted by Chris G on Jan 24th 2026

    I used the YPbPr Component Cable for Sega Genesis - HD Retrovision with the Atari 7800 Game Drive and a RetroScaler2x AV/SV/YPBPR to HDMIâ„¢ Converter to convert the 7800 signal to HDMI for my modern television. It works perfectly and the picture quality and audio quality are both great. Very high quailty cable!

    Absolutely Amazing cables!

    Posted by Matt Guyer on Jan 5th 2026

    I had heard these cables were good but the price made me very hesitant. It seemed like so much money to spend on cables. Finally I was fed up with the garbage quality of my Sega Genesis Model 2 video signal and I ordered a set of cables to try out. I could not believe the difference. The level of clarity is beyond my imagination. I tried them with my PC Engine using an EDFX and that's amazing too. I purchased the adapters for the MD1/Master System, Saturn, and PS1 as well. The Master System is great looking too. The Saturn and PS1 don't look a ton different than S-Video or RGB. If you have a Genesis, Master System, or EDFX and don't want to upgrade your hardware, this is a must buy! Well worth the money. I'm probably going to buy more so I don't have to swap cables around.
