Here is a scart cable. You can search for online retailers that'll have higher quality ones, but figured I send you this link as well.

I've been using this converter and haven't had any issues and I'm so impressed with the picture quality in my 55" tv

Edit: this will be the best jump in quality from a S-Video. There are other upscalers out there that do an even better job, but expect to drop a couple $$$ dollars on those.

Its a SCART connector. Commonly used in Europe.

Something like this to convert to HDMI:

Edit, you'll also need a voltage convertor if you want to use it in the US, since that VCR will want 220volts.

If the VHS tapes were recorded on European equipment, they will probably be PAL rather than NTSC - something else to consider.

If they were recorded in the US or with US equipment, it might be simpler just to get a US VHS player instead. It will have composite or component video out, which hopefully your TV has at least one of those.

Maybe this converter ?

This is the one I use here. It's given me no issues whatsoever.

I had a similar situation to yours. I bought this and I'm very satisfied. Originally I bought it to connect (and upscale) my PS1 to the monitor, but the device has also HDMI in and audio out so I connect my PS3 to the monitor and use speakers/headphones for audio. Hope it helps.

RGB mod is better then a Super64 EON. RGB has I believe 5 color. Super64 uses SVideo which has 2. RGB is transfered by a scart cable. Use your cable you linked with a scart to hdmi upscaler like this Scart Hdmi to Hdmi Video Converter Box 1080p Scaler 3.5mm Coaxial Audio Out https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00MUNIVRO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_pAoKDbZ3EZ9JJ

Yes, it is. I'd go with the RGB Scart route then output to HD. That's the best way to get a great OEM picture.

Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.com/itm/172726306454

It may be expensive, but it's better than cutting up your game console. But I'm​ not telling you what you should do with your thing. It's your choice, but with the amount of Genesis/Mega Drives that were sold, the supply is dwindling. It's better safe than sorry.

It's one of the unbranded generic ones. All over ebay and amazon under different names.

And yes, it does 4:3 just fine, that's the only mode I'll accept. It even outputs letterbox bars on all four sides, but I can't guarantee every version will be the same.

> I don't have anything against SCART mind you, just would rather have a single box I can use for both (unmodded)

I get it. A device which can do both is the ideal, right?

Here is a thread posted just yesterday.

comparing the enko upscaler vs XRGB mini. The enko is $50 on Amazon.

also there is THIS
with SCART Input.

I own one myself and use it with my Sega Saturn. Even though there is lag, the lag does not bother me because i don't notice it, but then again I don't play games where lag is crucial.

The Saturn will work with your HDTV out of the box as long as it has input for composite (standard yellow/white/red cable). If you want a better picture, you're in luck since the Saturn doesn't require any hardware mods to output in RGB.

You can get a RGB SCART cable and you'll need a converter box if you live outside Europe.

Then there's the Framemeister, but the price of admission goes up dramatically.
