I bet you're the kind of person to touch wet paint just to see if the sign is telling the truth. When we said raw sync cables are not compatible with PAL consoles we weren't having you on

If it's the cable from Retro Console Accessories it's wired correctly for raw sync on the Saturn.
You didn't use that Retro Console Accessories SCART with a PAL console did you?

For reference the 'GBS-8220'/Arcadeforge scaler doesn't fully support PAL, it does a frame-rate conversion to 60hz as suspected.

Yeah well seriously Adan pay attention, only noobs buy the correct cable for their console! Obviously the correct course of action is to open up your Saturn and start hacking away at the AV port, modding out the consoles raw sync output so that you can use a PAL SCART cable. If you then need raw sync later, just obtain a super rare mythical ultra higher quality SCART lead instead

Definitely not just down to the cable, raw sync is just better in some instances especially on Model 2's.

Same experience here regardless of cable type (RCA and Adaptorman's cables are good quality) especially on Model 2 Saturn's which tend to have less of a good picture than model 1's by a tiny margin.
I question how useful Ferrite beading is tbh It's never seemed to make a jot of difference to me.
Anyway, raw sync will either produce the same results or better, so it's not wise to mod it out.

Strange both my TV's have shown an improvement using raw sync instead of composite video for sync.
What's the point though, as others have said just buy the right f'in cable.

No, though I do like it I don't remember getting very deep, It's a shame it came out pre dualshock controllers as it would have played much better. I can't really suggest any tips as it's such a long time since I played it.

Suitable for what exactly? That's for PIC's and not Eproms if that's what you're wondering.

Also, removing the C-SYNC on a Jap Saturn just to get a cable to work is madness. Lots of newer tellies and things like the XRGB3 work much better with raw sync cables. Retro console accessories carries raw sync cables for Japanese Saturns (obviously won't work on PAL machines).

The very best capture card on the market for videogames is the Micomsoft 500N1. It's one of the few cards that actually supports 15khz RGB directly. www.solarisjapan.com/products/Xsync%252d1-%252b-SC%252d-500N1-DVI-Component-RGB-Capture-Card.htmlIf you don't fancy that there's the Black Magic Intensity range, but you'll need an upscaler between your Saturn and the Blackmagic for it to work. Expect the above solutions to give way better quality, but cost way more than the £27 you'd worked out above Well you do realise that is the native resolution of most Saturn NTSC games?

If you use pin 4 for your RGB up signals then the cable would work on either PAL or NTSC machines.
Prab you'd need to stick a multi-meter between pin 1 on the Saturn end and pin 16 on the SCART to see if this was the case.

It'll be the cable, probably using pin 1 for voltage to the RGB up signal pin. Retro console accessories seems to be on holiday at the mo unfortunately.

You only actually need pins for Red, Green, Blue and sync to get a stable picture, then two more for sound left and right. Most TV's also need the signal pin for RGB up too. It's possible that's not getting enough voltage and that's why you're having problems.

The difference between NTSC and PAL is largely irrelevant when using an RGB SCART lead. It comes down to 50hz and 60hz and most TV's support both. And you do realize most VCR's don't support RGB either? Honestly, is it upset the videophile month or something here?
