There are many different versions of Genesis RGB cables available.

Genesis 1 Cables

RGB (SCART)

The Genesis Model 1 doesn’t output stereo through the rear A/V port; that port only outputs mono sound. Luckily, the front headphone jack does output stereo, so the Genesis 1 cables listed above have a 3.5mm headphone cable that routes stereo audio through the SCART connector.

Component YPbPr

While the Genesis doesn't support native YPbPr output, you can use a cable to convert RGB output to YPbPr.

Genesis 1 to Genesis 2 Adapters

Genesis 2 Cables

Any Genesis that uses the Genesis 2-style port (such as CDX, RGB-modded Genesis 3, etc) can use one of these cables.

RGB (SCART)

HDMI

Although the Genesis doesn't support native HDMI output, you can use a cable that adapts RGB to HDMI.

Genesis 3 Cables

The model 3 Genesis requires a modification to enable RGB output. Once modded, you can use the same cables as the Genesis 2, provided you used the same connector.
