Okay update: I got an snes RGB scart cable,scart socket and built the LM1881N sync splitting circuit and the picture is perfect and it's not cutting out at all It's just that the colors are washed out and the green isn't dark enough which is strange because the scart cable has capacitors in it. (btw I'm using a ntsc snes) I'll upload a video so people can see.
@zeldajunkielol2 I got clean vibrant picture from NTSC SNES and Super Famicom using the same CGA to VGA board. All I had were 220uF caps on R, G, & B lines and straight connections for CSync and Ground. There's no need for the LM1881. I noticed you mentioned wiring Csync to Vsync. It's supposed to go to Hsync. Could that be the source of your problems or was that just a typo?
My model 1 Sega Genesis is a different story though. It refuses to sync. I'm gonna try LM1881 for that.
@rerolledDK It was a typo, sorry. But yeah, the Ntsc Snes can work without using a LM1881N because it has a separate pin for sync, whereas the PAL Snes needs the LM1881N because that pin is replaced with 12v.
I just did this with my snes and gbs 8220. I didn't need to wire h sync, Only RGB and V sync wired up to pin 3(Csync) with 220uf caps on RGB with the positive legs going towards the console. I would've taken a video of it but I blew a fuse on my snes (not because of the wiring, but because the on/off switch touched the metal shielding on accident) I didn't need an lm881n although the picture didn't look as good as what he's showing, My picture looked quite dull.
Dude that's awesome!!! keep it up man. love the gameboy stuff you do!!!! without you i would have never been able to backlight my gameboy pocket. Cheers!
@Vza004 Just get a component cable for your GC and enjoy 480p on most games. You have to make sure to switch it into Progressive scan mode though. It's usually holding A while booting from what I recall.

can you feel delay response on game playing even if picture is beautiful?

@doujindance No noticable delay, though the image is less than perfect - there are little mpeg-esque artifacts in small places.

@rerolledDK The Model 1 Genesis VA2s put out an awful sync signal. The Model 1 Genesis with a VA6 motherboard seems to work fine.
