Kaico SEGA Megadrive 1080p HDMI Adapter - For use with Sega Genesis - Supports S Video output – Supports PAL and NTSC Consoles – Aspect Ratio Switch for 16:9 or 4:3

Does exactly what it says it should do. I purchased this to interface a Mega Drive 1. to my Toshiba 65" flatscreen. It works well. The adapter needs an external 5V PSU so i just use a power bank to save messing around with another power socket. It seems to use very little energy so should last a long time between power bank charges. The picture is very good for the price. You can see and measure every pixel with ease. Initially there were quite bad vertical bars ( People call them jail bars ) running down the screen. This is an issue with the early mark one Mega Drive and not a fault of the adapter itself. A simple mod to the Mega Drive board has cleaned them up to the point were they are now unnoticeable unless you go looking. For those interested i simply shorted pin6 on IC 13 ( CXA1145 ) to ground. This mod turns the composite video black and white but it can easily be reversed by removing the short. So Yes, I recommend this product with or without the mod, it's a massive improvement on composite or RF. The converter takes the RGB-S signal from the AV port at the rear of the mega drive and converts it to 1080P HDMI. The sound on the Mark1 is only output as mono from the rear of the Mega Drive but it still sounds sweet through my AV amp. It's not worth the bother to recover stereo sound for me, but if you wanted to you could knock up some leads and do it that way.

I recently tried a lead that was RGB, as the RF lead that came with my MegaDrive 2 about 30 years ago had long since stopped working. That lead really didn't give a good image, so the console and 30 odd games went back in the loft. I recently got one of those mini projectors and happened upon this cable, so I thought what a great combo that would be if it works! And oh I was not disappointed. The colour is rich and vibrant, the image is crystal clear and defined, the sound is beautifully clear. My only complaint is I've just wasted an entire Saturday afternoon playing MegaDrive games, felt like I was back in my 20s and the classic era of gaming! If you want to breath new life into that old console and rediscover all those old games, this is worth every penny and then some.

Does the job fine on my Samsung 50" jail barring on pal as to be expected. Great quality, sound is fine though hdmi arc >sonos Recommended if you dont have time to mod.

Not bad , picture is a little blockier than I expected but it's OK. One of the switches doesn't seem to do anything, the other changes the screen size. Seems reasonably well made.

Ideal for bringing a mega drive into the HDMI age, also works for master system 1 really well. No good for master system 2 which goes not have a out, overall good purchase for the old systems.

I wasn't sure just how good this would be but I am blown away. Super easy to connect up and that's it. The image quality is out of this world as well as the audio. I'm getting no input lag and I'm playing better than I did as a kid on my original mega drive 😁 this brought my old console back to being a centre piece once again. I would recommend this for anyone with a mega drive.

Image quality is good and this does work however i have noticed that the image appears in a smaller area of the screen which is off centre with black bars around the image. Tried flicking the various switches but even changing between 16:9 and 4:3 doesn't seem to correct the picture. On the basis this was 30 quid and a lot more expensive than other similar products i thought this one would be the better option but that doesn't appear to be the case.

This item was as described. Got my old Sega Mega drive 2 hooked up to a modern tv. Good bit of kit

Simply plug it in using which ever one of the adapters fit your old console, and you're back playing all your favourite games from the 90s on your smart TV!

Marche parfaitement, conforme à la description

Incroyable ! La qualité est bluffante sur grand écran. S'il y a le même pour la N64, je suis preneuse ! 🤩

I'll give credit where it's due, the image is actually really clear and sharp which is awesome to see. However image quality isn't consistent, the colours are completely washed out. All of the wonderful vibrate colour pallet is completely destroyed when using this adapter. If you're playing Sonic2, forget about playing split screen. Unplayable as it's all scrambled. With the unplayable split screen and the colours all wash out, this is a hard pass and return. Save your money and get something else.

Werkt goed, kan mijn vintage Sega weer gebruiken
