In this article I talk about buying the Atari RGB to SCART cable 2600 and Nintendo (NES) – DIN 8 pins + P2 Stereo c/upgrade for Mini-Coaxial, acquired on eBay with the seller retro_console_accessories
.
This product actually is purchased through two eBay listings that need to be purchased together, they are:
- Nintendo NES/Famicom 8 PIN din JP-21 Japanese 21 XRGB pin cable lead for NES RGB
- Upgrade any SCART or Xrgb cable to coaxial pro cabling Saturn Genesis SNES etc
Of course, the second item is optional. You can opt for the simple cable, without the upgrade to mini-coaxial.
If you don't understand anything, I recommend reading my articles on how to extract the best image of your classic consoles through SCART RGB and Framemeister before proceeding. Check out:
- Framemeister XRGB Mini
- SCART RGB cable for Mega Drive 1 / Sega Genesis 1 / Mega Drive 2 by Tec Toy with Stereo Audio (Pack-a-Punched!)
- RGB SCART Cable for Super Nintendo (CSYNC) e Playstation One (Sync-on-Luma) com upgrade para Multicore Coax
In the aforementioned consoles, Mega Drive, Super Nintendo and Playstation One, you don't have to do any modification to extract the RGB signal. Just use the correct cable.
In the case of Atari 2600 and Nintendinho (NES) things are a bit more complicated. We need to make some internal changes to be able to extract the RGB signal.
An Australian called Tim Worthington facilitated the work to launch kits that can be installed on this consoles. They are:
I bought and installed the kit 2600RGB in an Atari 2600. I'll discuss this and show you the step by step installation in future articles.
There are several ways to install the RGB outputs these islands. Some people prefer to install a DB15 connector (the same used for VGA), But what comes in the kit is a DIN of 8 pins for video and one for audio stereo P2. The DIN of 8 PIN is not a random choice, because that's what the Framemeister used. However the audio is separated to avoid interference.
In the case of standard cable (Nintendo NES/Famicom 8 PIN din JP-21 Japanese 21 XRGB pin cable lead for NES RGB) without the upgrade, video and audio are sent to the SCART connector for separate cables, with P2 and DIN plugs 8 pins on the side of the console. In case of upgrade to P2 cable mini-coaxial ends up entering the video cable and follow signs for the same cable, Once the individual conductors shielding eliminates the interference of any form. So, I could even have used only a DIN plug 8 pins for audio and video, eliminating the P2, but I thought it best to keep the default installation of Tim.
The cable has been tested and is working perfectly, but I'll leave the images for articles on installing 2600RGB.

[…] I recently cited here in Skooter Blog that I've installed a 2600RGB kit in an Atari 2600. Now I play Atari 2600 with a very sharp image and fantastic colors. […]
I get a lot of audio line noise whenever using this cable through a scart switch (have tried 2 different ones). The cable itself is not the issue; because when I bypass the switch I get perfect audio. However, the scart switch is not causing it either, because I get perfect audio from all of the other connected consoles! It is some kind of interaction between the switch and this cable. Any idea what could be causing it?
Maybe the cable after the switch? Is it mini coax?
I actually fixed it in a really bizzare way, by running the NES SCART connection through a different switch, which also has a regular audio out. I connected the regular audio out to the “in” on the front of fraimiester and bam fixed. Somebody on Reddit suggested that this sounds like a grounding issue? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vWq9RPxOSs
It does sound like a grounding issue and the way you fixed it confirms that since Framemeister is not actually getting the audio from the RCA cable.
Have you tried exchanging the SCART cable between the SCART Switch and the Framemeister? Or the SCART to Mini-DIN adapter?
Are the Nintendo and the Framemeister power sources connected to the same power bar?
