Is that a hairbrush? Asking as an American

>>11872065 (OP)
No it doesn't.

>>11872065 (OP)
Pins 10 and 12 are generally unused and in most cases not even connected, this diagram is either incorrect or for some proprietary device. Even when pins 10 and 12 are listed as used for something, they are both considered Data/Communication pins, pin 10 being standardized as "Control Bus(AV-Link)", whatever that even means, is nonsense.

more like SHART rofl owned euroweenies

might take em a bit to get the joke cuz they’re running at 50hz

>things that never happen

>>11872065 (OP)
I prefer knowing what kind of signal is being output from the physical appearance of the cord alone. You get a device that outputs over shart and you never know what it's going to do. Not to mention that JP-21 shit, who allowed that to happen?

>>11872438
>its nonsense
Wrong

>TV explodes

>>11872065 (OP)
Yes this was good back in the day but now I emulate and I simply do not need an ancient TV with that connector.
Everyone wins.

>>11872065 (OP)
Kino connector, I still use it for my psx

I only ever used it for my DVD player.
Quality of PAL DVDs with RGB SCART was so good I never saw the need for Bluray

>>11872887
this never happens

Then you never saw resident evil dead island on blu ray shit runs so smooth I prefer the netflix resident dvd too

> no really. not even pretending to be retarded
the absolute state of this board

>>11872065 (OP)
Not really. I soldered my own SNES controller adapters before USB really took off. Not rocket science (and I'm not even that good at soldering). All you need's a pin layout and a basic understanding of what generally speaking electricity is.

>>11872065 (OP)
What does a hairbrush have to do with retro video games?

>>11872065 (OP)
The only bad things about these is when they're side by side instead of parallel and trying to put one in without direct sight

>>11873460
Why? The connector looks asymmetrical, what's the issue with plugging it in blindly? It should only go in one way, right?

>>11873489
Try it

>>11873510
I've never even seen one of those connectors before, much less do I own one, so I really can't.

>>11873460
I know. Plugging these without sight is a nightmare. I often push the TV or the furniture it's on just to be able to see.

>>11872065 (OP)
I bought one of those automatic SCART switches from AliExpress a couple of months ago. Well worth the money not to have to fumble around at the back of the TV ever again.

I fucking hate scart so much it's unreal

>>11873262
You can't just re-pin the SNES's controllers to a USB port, there's no hardware on the controller to communicate over a USB connection, you would need something in between the convert the signals from the controller to USB.

I fucking love scart so much it's unreal.

Dizzy with cum!

>>11872305
I have never broken a scart pin in my life and every console I own has been using them for over 30 years

>>11872305
A non-occurrence in the 35 years I've used the cables. Worst that's happened is a detached wire - something that is easily fixable with a soldering iron.

>>11877949
Yeah, they won't break
I don't think I've even bent one
They only fit in one specific way with little wiggle room

Is there any advantages to using VGA over SCART?
Not talking about a specific gaming issue or anything, just a manufacturing question. A smaller connection with a cheaper cable is always better.

>>11877981
It's completely different
VGA doesn't work on most CRT TV's as they do 480p

When I was a kid I preferred RCA connectors because they're way easier to plug in, especially if you're at somebody's house using their TV. SCART can be difficult to plug in blind reaching around the TV and you can't easily move a 32" CRT. Plus RCA connectors were often on the front of the TV. When we were kids the video quality didn't matter, as long as it wasn't all fuzzy.

>>11877981
I think people are moving towards using the VGA connector now because of those reasons.

>>11878128
>When I was a kid
But you're not a kid anymore. You're allowed to choose now.

>>11877989
it can't do 240p from a source outputting it? or do they all technically output 480i due to standards?

>>11878135
RGB is great but I still use composite RCA with most consoles because it's convenient. It's because I don't have any TVs, so I have to adapt it to a VGA connector (expensive) to use on my projector/monitors, and only a few of those sync to 15KHz RGB. Whereas with composite I can just plug it in and it works well enough.

imagine if we never stopped using RCA and HDMI cables were just 20 RCA connectors that had to be plugged in in the right order otherwise the video would be purple

>>11872065 (OP)
Wired one of those when I was 7.

>>11878134
>I think people are moving towards using the VGA connector now because of those reasons.
they're not. besides, manufacturers were doing this 20+ years ago before hdmi was common. no point going backward. hdmi shit is just so much cheaper and simpler. analogue video is dead.

>>11878160
you need to convert vga to something the tv supports. this is why PC video cards many years ago came with optional svideo / composite outputs.

>>11878394
I don't know what you're talking about. There was some discussion on a recent MLiG video about the VGA connector, DSUB-15 or whatever it's called, being better than SCART and using it instead for video switches. Analogue video is not dead.

>>11878160
Some old graphics cards can output 240p over VGA

>>11878459
>I don't know what you're talking about
not surprised.
>discussion on a recent MLiG video
it's not a discussion i'm seeing anywhere else. what youtubers talk about has no significance.
> Analogue video is not dead.
100% dead. not coming back.

>>11878569
It never left, analog video is everywhere, lurking.
