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 clarity and color separation compared to standard composite AV cables when connecting to modern HDTVs and monitors.

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 cleaner, more vivid mid-tier option that makes sprites, text, and colors look noticeably sharper than the basic adapters found all over online.

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.
