Right now I have my Saturn hooked up using the original Sega RGB scart cable. (I checked up the manual and yes it came with an RGB cable. And my TV confirms that it is indeed RGB)
Still there is some background noise in the quiet sections, due to the cable. So I'd like to know, if you know any better alternatives to the original Sega RGB cable. I think retrogamingcables.co.uk has good-quality SCART cables for most consoles that support RGB.

Basically nobody wants US pads. That’s they they stopped selling them even in the US. They are Sega of America overreach. I kinda like them even with other owning other pads I've used my main controller that came with the model 1 since I bought it. Weirdly I got the model 1 with NiGHTS sampler and the 3 free games when they were towards the end of it not the beginning. I would think I would have gotten the model 2 but nope EB still had some or something. Loved it ever since. Now I have about half my games I need the rest for everything in my storage unit.

i just recently took the time to open up, clean out and tighten up tolerances on my original U.S. SATURN controller in preparation for another run through Magic Knight RAYEARTH. MUCH better handling now, tight and responsive as it should be...

But xtempo said he bought a Saturn towards the end and even that was a model 1. So it might be more than JCPenney using just old photos. Anyway here's a link to the JCPenney page if you want to check it out. It also came with 3 free games. https://christmas.musetechnical.com/Sho ... -Book/0629

I found that the only neat difference between the bulky US Saturn pads and the svelte Japanese pads are that the US pads would allow you to either push the shoulder buttons down or in. Not that I can imagine any scenario when someone would reach all the way up with their thumbs to push one of those shoulder buttons down (unless you have Andre the Giant hands--maybe that's what SoA was counting on? ) but it was definitely unique. Needless to say I only have two original US pads (bought the other the same time I got my first Saturn in '96.) The rest were Japanese pads I bought in Hong Kong (and of course an analog pad.) Had to have a lot of pads to play Guardian Heroes and Saturn Bomberman right?
