Retro Access exclusive custom-designed Housing (Hood) and Printed Circuit Board (PCB) for DIY cables. Unlike conventional designs which place components downstream at the SCART end, Retro Access boards place key signal components right at the source (console). This ensures superior signal integrity for the clearest, most accurate audio-visual experience. This kit includes all necessary circuit components pre-mounted for safe and specification compliant RGB video while aiding in clean, simplified assembly versus struggling with loose components.
Compatible with the Europe region Nintendo GameCube (PAL only). This kit is not compatible with USA, Japan (NTSC) consoles.
Cable selection is for the strain relief hole size only, cable is not included. The approximate diameter of Fortraflex is 7mm (0.27″), Coaxial is 9mm (0.35″).
Installation:
- Bend both rows of pins inward on a flat surface until they are nearly touching.
- Using the housing (hood) as a fixture, solder the board directly to the connector.
- Remove the assembly from the housing and solder the reverse side.
- Solder Red, Green, Blue conductors to R, G, B pads.
- Solder Sync, Left Audio, Right Audio conductors to S, L, R pads.
- Solder Power (VDC) conductor to the 12V pad. For SCART applications, wire 12V to pin 8 (Function Switch) and use a 470 ohm resistor between pin 8 and 16 (Blanking).
- Solder grounds to square ground pads.
- Bridge jumper JP2 for Sync on Composite Video (CVBS).
- Use glue for jacket strain relief and assemble the housing.
Please contact a modding professional if you are not comfortable building DIY cables.
Features:
- Genuine Kemet premium 220 µF Tantalum AC coupling capacitors within the console connector provide clean, precise RGBS signals at the source, preventing unwanted DC bias along the cable, preserving accurate color, contrast and brightness.
- Sync on Composite Video (CVBS), properly terminated and coupled to GameCube specifications.
