Accessory Description

When you want a noticeably cleaner image from original Sega hardware without jumping into expensive scalers or internal mods, this RGB+ HD Link Cable for Sega Genesis Model 1 functions as a plug-and-play HDMI adapter for original consoles. Designed specifically for the Sega Genesis (Model 1), it converts the console’s native RGB video signal directly to HDMI, delivering improved color separation and a more stable presentation compared to standard composite AV cables when connecting to modern HDTVs and monitors.

Results vary by game and resolution; 240p titles will still reflect the original Genesis output characteristics and may not appear as sharp as native modern HD content.

This cable features an upgraded, heavy-duty build with high-gauge wiring and a secure console-compatible connector for reliable signal transfer. Includes a built-in aspect ratio switch (4:3 or 16:9) so you can keep the classic look or fill the screen on the fly. Setup is straightforward and requires no external power — just connect the cable, run the HDMI end to your TV, and you’re ready to play. While not a professional scaler, it’s a simple, mid-tier option that makes sprites, text, and colors appear cleaner and more stable than basic composite RCA AV adapters.

Perfect for revisiting 16-bit classics like Sonic the Hedgehog, Streets of Rage 2, or Gunstar Heroes, this cable makes it easy to bring a Genesis Model 1 back into the living room without a CRT. It’s an ideal pick for collectors refurbishing original consoles, retro fans upgrading a primary setup, or anyone who wants a modern-friendly way to enjoy Sega’s early ’90s library.
