The Kycon KMDGX-10S-BS fits the SVX300V1 connector closely enough that the connectors can be mated without any modifications. I think this would be useful to point out in the docs as an alternative to the radio cable in there.

Here's another one that I have not tried that looks like it might fit perfectly: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256808960969748.html

@wt Were you able to get the connector to fit in the KMDGX-10S-BS?

I think the Sega Saturn port is close but the keying is just-different-enough that it might not fit. I have not tested it though but came across it when looking for compatible mini-DIN connectors.

The pins work perfectly. The shield has two places where it wants cutouts in the plastic, but it can be pushed in fully with no damage to the SXv300V1 cable. I considered modifying the plastic, but I haven't bothered yet.

I haven't tried that one. May order one soon for fun.

Hey there. I emailed you (to the email in the git log) a copy of a technical drawing of the Sega Saturn video port that I linked to above. The manufacturer sent it when I requested. I am not sure if you had that before. It actually looks like it has a solid chance of working.

@wt Sorry for the delay. I did see your email, and the spec does look correct... That might be the better way to facilitate the connection for people that don't want to purchase a full harness from Dynavin. Did you end up ordering any?

I found this one on Amazon no clue if it can be cut up and spliced or soldered https://a.co/d/0eeWe8BR

I have not ordered any yet.

It probably could be hacked up and used. The connector would have the same fit as the Kycon KMDGX-10S-BS with the save problems I mentioned above.
