HD Retrovision Super Nintendo YPbPr Component Cable

The HD Retrovision SNES YPbPr Component Cable is a gift to your eyeballs. In the past, you would be stuck playing Mega Man X and Star Fox with cables that resulted in color striping and bleeding. Those problems are a thing of the past when you start playing your Super Nintendo with an HD Retrovision YPbPr cable. Use them on an HDTV that supports 240p, or on a standard-definition CRT for that classic look.

The following chart contains a list of tested and confirmed console models which have been verified to work with the SNES YPbPr Cable. The intent of this list is to give a general idea of what types of consoles can work with the cable, and is 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.

As highlighted below, there is no out-of-the-box solution for using the SNES/SFC "mini" (SNS-101 / SHVC-101) or Nintendo 64 with the SNES YPbPr cable. These specific consoles require internal upgrade. The upgrade services listed within the chart are the only ones approved by HD Retrovision. Self-installation kits or other similar types of services are NOT supported under warranty.

The Gold Standard for CRT Gaming

Posted by Johnny Danger on Jul 1st 2025

If you're gaming on original hardware and aiming for the best possible picture quality on a CRT, look no further than the HD Retrovision component cables. Originally designed for the SNES to output RGB via component video on NTSC displays, these cables also work flawlessly with RGB-upgraded N64 systems using Nintendo's multi-out port.

I purchased these specifically for my RGB-upgraded N64, and the results are stunning. The image clarity is unmatched—crisp, vibrant, and true to how the games were meant to be seen. While modern HDMI mods exist and can upscale retro consoles for flat screens, nothing compares to the authenticity and fidelity you get with these cables on a CRT.

If you're committed to preserving the original look and feel of your retro games, these cables are an essential upgrade. Stone Age Gamer shipped quickly, and the cables feel high-quality and durable. Absolutely worth the investment for any serious retro enthusiast.

The best

As you probably know, there`s no better cable for SNES or a upgraded N64.

The Best cable for your Snes

Posted by Levi G on May 4th 2025

I highly recommend this cable, as the cable enhances the color and black and white contrast sharpness over composite and svideo with no visual noise or image bleeding, (like color blending or dot crawl), into the picture. It`s also a perfect fit for use with my retrotink 2x pro. Now my favorite Snes games look way better than using composite and svideo that I was using before on my 2 chip Snes. Also this cable can be used on a Snes mini/jr and N64 that have been upgraded to output rgb.

Great cable for my snes setup

Posted by Aiden on Mar 12th 2025

I ran this out of my super famicom and into a splitter to get to my capture card and CRT and it looks great, after some more fine tuning in OBS I`m happy with the aesthetic.

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.

Great Cable!

Posted by J Anzelone on Feb 26th 2025

A must need if you plan to upgrade your classic consoles! I used an old Trinitron for years, and decided to step it up with a retrotink. With a switcher, a set of these cables for my SNES, GEN and PS2, games look slick AF on my 1080p TV. Really nice crisp quality on a solidly built cable!
