Jaguar through Component Video

Idk if anyone's seen this or not, but I was browsing StoneAgeGamer recently and saw that they had a couple of AV converters for Atari Jaguar that let you use your Sega Genesis or Super Nintendo cables with them. I'd been running my Jaguar through S-video, but I have a set of HD Retrovision cables which I juggle between my Genesis, Master System, NeoGeo CD, Saturn, PC Engine, and PlayStation via their various adapters, so I ordered one of the Genesis adapters for Jaguar to give it a shot. It works BEAUTIFULLY. Here are a couple images of what the adapter looks like.

If you're wanting the best picture quality from your Jaguar and don't have a TV or upscaler that supports SCART, I'd say one of these and a set of HD Retrovision component cables is definitely the way to go. Super simple plug-and-play, and the picture is great.

Really slick. Happy to hear these are readily available. It was originally 1 guy over on Atari Age making them in batches.

The Jag's composite is even really clean so imagine RGB is awesome.

You ever seen this bad boy? ... :shock:

Totally impressed! Despite my strong want to own one, that console has always been trumped by other hardware. Still glad to see solutions that might save a system from a trash heap.
