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.

    Retro vision cables for genesis

    Posted by Michael Dickinson on Feb 16th 2025

    I previously used a cheap set of composite cables off amazon. I was hesitant to drop the money on these cables thinking it wouldnt make mich of a difference. Man am I glad I did. My unmodded upgradeel 2 has never looked better. The colors pop. The clarity is much better the image is cleaner. Very happy with this purchase highly recommend.

    HD Retrovision Component Cables

    Posted by Tim Jesionowski on Feb 16th 2025

    The performance difference I`d noticed after immediately replacing my old Genesis composite cables was night and day. After seeing the noticeable difference in picture quality, I ordered HD Retrovision cables for my other retro consoles. It`s worth the $65 to upgrade!

    Absolutely worth it!

    Posted by B-Ran on Feb 6th 2025

    I grew up with a Sega Genesis Model 1 and have wanted to show it to my young nieces and nephews. But frankly, without a CRT TV it looked pretty bad. I finally decided to splurge on this cable with the adapter, and oh boy, paired with the RetroTink 2x Pro I am blown away by how good it looks AND sounds! I did a back and forth swap of cables on a couple of TVs and there`s no comparison, this was well worth the money! And testing the difference in sound quality was just a matter of plugging and unplugging the 3.5mm cable. Very pleased with my purchase!

    Totally worth it for both Genesis and Saturn

    Posted by Christopher J. Pfanner on Feb 3rd 2025

    I`m not actually a big snob when it comes to picture quality. I don`t need a PVM, Scart, or anything like that. However, if you want to get 90% of the way there without breaking the back or overcomplicating things, these cables are a must. Pair these with a Trinitron that`s cheap and readily available and you`ve just massively improved your setup with little hassle and low cost. These are totally worth it.

    High Quality

    Posted by Matt H. on Jan 10th 2025

    Don`t trust cheap cables and always get HD Retrovision ones, love the high quality shielded cables made by them for crisp, correct visuals, and i especially like the brightness switch on the Genesis cable.

    YPbPr Component Cable for Sega Genesis

    Posted by BK on Dec 29th 2024

    The quality of this cable is incredible! Even the weight is impressive.

    I`m using it to run my Saturn (along with the Saturn cable adapter) and the quality is wonderful. Upgrading from a composite cable to an RGB component cable is like getting a new pair of glasses. The difference is stunning.

    It will change how you look at the games you have become used to playing... wondering, ``Where in the %!@# did these colors come from?!``

    Expensive, yeah. Worth it? Even more of a yeah.

    Sharpest I`ve ever seen the Genesis and TG-16

    Posted by Matthew Ponzi on Dec 19th 2024

    The HD Retrovision Sega Genesis cables deliver excellent video quality, breathing new life into classic games with vibrant colors and sharp visuals on modern TVs. They`re well-constructed, easy to use, and compatible with multiple Sega systems, making them a versatile choice for retro gaming enthusiasts. While slightly pricey, the improved picture quality and convenience make them a worthwhile investment for serious collectors.

    A Fine Cable

    Posted by Luka on Dec 13th 2024

    It does exactly as it`s supposed to. It produces a very clean image and has a brightness switch and a port for an audio jack. I will say the Sega Saturn adapter I bought alongside this did not fit quite as well as I expected and I had to make make sure it would be in a stable and unmoving location as any movement would affect the output and distort the colors.
