Description
A number of video game accessories use a circular 9-pin Mini DIN connector to interface with RGB video because this particular format was used by many Sega Genesis and Mega Drive consoles.
This 9-pin Mini DIN adapter transforms all of the RGB-enabled TinyNES connections into one female DIN jack for use with these third-party accessories. The right-angle plugs and cable lengths are specifically designed for a sleek fit with the TinyNES console.
One end of the adapter has these 6 plugs:
- Red right-angle male RCA plug for the red video signal
- Green right-angle male RCA plug for the green video signal
- Blue right-angle male RCA plug for the blue video signal
- Yellow male RCA plug for the sync signal
- Red male RCA plug for the audio signal
- USB-C male plug for power
The other end of the adapter has these 2 jacks:
- 9-pin Mini DIN female jack
- USB-C female receptacle for power
Tested accessories
The following third-party products have been tested and are known to work properly with our 9-pin Mini DIN adapter and an RGB-enabled TinyNES console.
Sega Mega Drive 2 / Genesis 2 RAD2X HDMI cable Manufacturer: Retro Gaming Cables This small adapter provides high-quality, pixel-accurate HDMI output with integrated technology developed by RetroTINK. This is our recommended device for beautiful HDMI upscaling without any blurring or artifacts. |
Sega Mega Drive 2 / Genesis 2 Component YPbPr cable Manufacturer: Retro Gaming Cables This cable contains integrated circuitry to convert from RGB to component (YPbPr) video which is then output via 5 male RCA plugs. A convenient way to convert video for use with monitors that have component video inputs. |
Retro Access Genesis 2 32X/CDX RGB SCART Cable Composite Video Sync Version Manufacturer: Retro Access This cable adapts RGB video and audio signals to the popular SCART connector format. Note that the TinyNES outputs a composite video level sync signal, which is why we recommend this particular SCART adapter cable. |
Genesis YPbPr Component Cable Manufacturer: HD Retrovision This is another great option for converting to YPbPr video for use with televisions that have component video input. Unlike other similar cables, this version includes a brightness adjustment switch and a stereo audio jack. |
