Great! Just make sure you have a Genesis 1 and NOT 2 or 3!
I bought one of these and it worked perfectly. However, you need to be sure that you have a Genesis model 1 or this will NOT work, because later models had a smaller connecter. If your Genesis has a headphone jack, volume control and power switch, then it’s a model 1 and these A/V cables are what you want. If your Genesis lacks a headphone jack and volume control, but has a power “button”, then it’s a Genesis model 2. A model 3 is easy to tell because it’s tiny and says “Genesis 3″ right on it.
Hope that answers some questions for anyone who might have wanted to know, or wasn’t sure about buying this!

YES, you will see a difference!!
So here was my situation– Got a big ol’ HDTV for Christmas and I’ve been getting back into video games again. The PS3 is a kicka$$ system, but I’ve had a bizarro urge to play old school games from the 80s and 90s– including the Sega Genesis. I hooked the Genesis up to my HDTV using the standard RF box, but it looked like CRAP. Washed out colors, blurry… Who the heck wants to see that on the big screen?? So after coming across this cable, I figured it was worth a shot. So, was it?
Yup. Now keep in mind that even with this cable, the Genesis still puts out standard resolution, not 720 or 1080. So nobody is going to see you playing Shinobi and say “hey, is this the PS3?” But the image will look a lot better than it does with the RF cable. The main difference is that the colors are more refined. I tested it out using the Spiderman game. While your character is standing still, with the RF box, you see what looks like a red halo around the arms, feet and head. With this cable, the halo is gone. All of the red stays within the lines as they are supposed to. And small lettering is alot easier to read. I saw an even greater difference when playing games on the Sega CD. Yeah, must of those games still suck, but at least they look alot better.
Truth be told though, in the end, I hooked my Genesis back up to my old Philips 27″ CRT instead of the HDTV. The difference is alot more striking when using this cable on a standard TV. I only keep that TV around for playing old school games, and this cable makes my Genesis look crisp and clear on that TV. One thing I just noticed– this cable also works on the Sega Master System– the A/V port in the back is the same as the Genesis.
So if you want to make your Genesis look as good as it was made too, buy this cable.
