Connecting a sega master system to an lcd tv help!!

Postby madmartin10 on Mon Nov 08, 2010 9:16 pm

Recently I found my old system, but I cannot find the leads that allowed it to connect to a tv. I Own a series 4 samsung LCD TV, below is a list of the innputs it has:-


3 HDMI ports
Composite (AV) input
Component (Y/Pb/Pr) input
PC input
2 SCART ports (currently notbeing used)

I own a scart to phono adapter, but Cannot find anywhere on te net the RGB to Scart for the master system 2, all I can find are leads for the master system 1. Can you use the system 1 lead with the system 2 or do you know of any companies that sell these leads, I appriciate you cannot take responsibily for their reliability but If you could give me some advice it would be vry helpful.

I have a scarted Master System 1, but I don't think you can use it on a Master System 2.

You could try running it through a VCR? Input the RF signal to the VCR and use the scart or phono outputs. Not 100% certain it will be a sucess but its worth a try!

All you will get is clearer interference with RGB through VHS :P I run Master System games through my Megadrive 1 with a Master System power base converter jammed in the top. Scart Cable in tow. (RGB Scart, best for any HD telly if no other option) Try this for A Master System Scart cable though..

I have had no problem using this shop, I have bought lots of cables from her an they are all of top quality. I only use the Megadrive optipon as when I tried using the Scart through a Master System 1, I get little vertical scanlines (hardly noticable but it bothers me :P ) The same cable will work on a Megadrive one too.
I've spent a small amount of money on lots of different cables and I beleive (without modding a console) that I've got the best out of all my console's on my HD telly (still keeping the old CRT though :lol: )

I actually find Amazon is not bad at all for Master System titles, I've had loads off there for reasonable prices.
