It has 3 slots: • NES compatibility • Famicom compatibility • A "pass-through" SNES slot which can double as a Super Famicom slot if you don't wanna break the blocker tabs out of your SNES The downside is that the NES part can only use composite video, something common to nearly all NES clones (the sole exeption was the Famicom Titler made by Sharp) --- End quote --- Wouldn't you be able to use an S-Video cable, though? Since it's using the same connector as the SNES to output video. |

Same thing if you try to use one of those RGB SCART cables that you see on eBay. The SNES outputs RGB video natively, but the NES and clones don't. So while you can plug the Super 8 in with S-Video and other connections and it'll look great, as soon as you tell it to launch an NES game the screen will go black with anything other than composite. |
