Do they make composite-to-component video converters? We don't need even an upscaler or anything, just a converter

Searching only seems to return composite-to-hdmi and component-to-hdmi things and we don't want hdmi

@Felthry there's probably no demand because everything has composite in and composite is the worst input

@noiob our use case is that our TV has a combined composite/component input and we just got a switch that lets us switch between multiple sources, but the TV detects it as component as long as anything is inserted into the pR socket, even if there's no signal on it

the plan was to use this to switch between two component and one composite source (there are no component cables for SNES) but it looks like we're still going to have to unplug/replug one wire when switching things, which is annoying

@noiob or we could just play all the SNES games in black and white but that's no fun

@Felthry if you have a SNS-001 you could just get some component cables hdretrovision.com/snes/

@noiob we looked for those, they're impossible to find, I don't think they make them anymore and they're expensive anwyay

@Felthry any shitty component cable off the internet would probably look better than composite

@noiob as we understand it the SNES doesn't natively support component and that cable has active stuff in that box that converts it

@Felthry oh, yeah it probably converts from S-Video or RGB, which is available on the multi-out

maybe you can find a converter from those?

@noiob the cheapest option appears to be way too expensive, more so than the hdretro one
