from a good Sega French site :
else you can hack a french rgb cable (tutorial on this same site)
or you can also make a RCA cable (same site)

OK, have hardwired the scart to the motherboard, but I don't get a picture. Any reason for this? My TV shows as recieving a signal, but it automatically switches the tv to widescreen mode.
So then how should I wire it up?

i BELIEVE this is right.
I just want to add. I can understand not knowing what arakon said... but come on how can you not understand instructions the sligtest to not just give it a f-ing try.
Because I'm not making a 20 mile round trip to get a 100 Ohm resistor as there is nowhere local that sells them and believe me I've looked.
Another problem with the MD is that there is no sound, except mono through the headphone jack so what I've done is wire it up with a RCA video lead which gives a picture. If I wanted to add a sound cable, could I wire it to the headphone jack and ground? I'm not a very technical person, so where is a ground point near the headphone jack?

so there isnt a commercial scart cable for sale for the genesis? would suck if it didnt. 
so there IS a scart cable commercially avaible? who made it?

The thing is, in the UK, I can't find a MD2 RGB Scart cable anywhere. The reason I wanted to hardwire one onto the MD is because I have 4 systems.
1 with a RGB cable
1 with hardwired composite AV cable
1 with a seperate composite AV cable
1 with a hardwired RF box
All are 50/60Hz switchable apart from the one with the RF. I want to add the switch to that one and I just figured it would be cheaper to hardwire a stereo Scart lead to it than find one.
wow! Im a newby, but u guys know like so much! I know im going off topic sorry.
i just bought a megadrive 2 with 2 controllers and 4 games just for the scart cable it came with. but i want a mega drive 1 scart. .
Perhaps it is compatible with it?
