I recently tested an interesting cable for the Sega Saturn: It appears to be a shielded cable that outputs RGB and Composite video via RCA connectors. It comes with RCA to BNC adapters, making this an easy way to use both RGB and composite video on something like a Sony PVM…and it’s only $10!!! Here’s the […]
Insurrection Industries has recently started selling a fully-shielded S-Video cable for the Sega Saturn.

I recently had the opportunity to speak with Rich Whitehouse: Creator of the BigPEmu for the Atari Jaguar, contributor to the Video Game History Foundation and longtime game developer.
