I have a problem that is driving me crazy... I wanted to by a rgb cable to my megadrive pal-g model 1.. sounds easy right? Wrong!!!!!
First round - bought wat appears to be a v-pin cable.. the pins are thinner.. do no enters my console...
Second round - went to ali...press. bought a c-pin because they said its for pal consoles... wrong.. don't work. Don't enters my 8pin din..
Round tree.. went to a used sales forum (olx) on my country -portugal and bought another cable. The seller even had fotos with the cable inserted in the console... i was a u-pin cable.. search the web and u-pin is the correct connection for pal consoles.. so i bought it.. it arrived yesterday. Went straight away plug it to the console... DONT ENTERS THE DIN!!!!
Fuck..fuck.. whats going on... no fucking cable enters my console.. exept my composite shit cable...
Well c-pin is not for pal... period.. don't even try insert the cable.
V-pin is similar to u-pin but the pins are very thin compared to c-pin or u-pin pins that are bigger..or best desxribing "they are fat".. larger.
And the bump on the metal ring outside de pins are different on the tree models... see the vpins have a small curve and the c-pin not. The u-pin is also diferente...
I am so fucked with this. The time i have lost and the money i have spent in cables that i'm considering search the web for the pin-outs on the megadrive pcb and solder the cable direcly o the board... so i can use the cables i have i have 4.. none of them enters the console..
I was beaten by a f ucking cable... i have done modchips. Mods. Repros. Etc.. and it was a fucking cable that fucked my head.
@nuno14272 Altought it is more expensive than Ebay or Aliexpress, I think retrocables.es is a good site to buy this kind of cables. They seem very professional. I had a problem with a S-Video cable with a SNES (but in my N64 worked great) and they supported me, making test with theirs SNES and confirming me that the trouble was with my TV or SNES.

my model is 1600-18 and my second console is 1601-18..
strange thing is... i have a french rgm master system 2, that altrough being a model 2, it as the same 8 din as the model 1 master system, witch is compatible with megadrive 1...
and the RVB cable, fits well.. enters with no problems..
still dont understand

ahahahahahah...
wanna play, stupid cable, let's play !!!
last night doing a little mod..
1) raw materials.. metal from (i don't know the word) that things we use to put the clothes dryinf on the sun
2) strip the cable from a V-pin rgb chinese cable
3) do some weldering.
4) testing on the console. (the bars appears only on the foto, on the TV the image is great..)
the only thing is bothering me is that this cable as 9 wires.. anf i only use 7! , two is for sound.. but i just unpluged them and use the front headjack with a big speakers..
pin 18 is rgb ground and pin 4 is sound ground... i use no sound so pin 2 and 6 dont interested me... but the image is better with sound ground cable and the rgb ground disabled ??
