Hi, a friend of mine asked me for help in finding a S-Video cable for his SNES (they also work on Gamecube and N64), that isn't a total POS. I mention that last part because a lot of them introduce a "checkerboard" pattern (shamelessly stealing this example: http://www.micro-64.com/features/svideoarticle/PDcomparison.png ), the majority of them you run across these days do this from what I've read.
Years ago I bought a $30 Monster-like PS2 S-video cable when I saw the same checkerboard stuff when using my PS2 on a capture card (overkill but I had figured, correctly, that these overkill cables wouldn't have the checkerboard), I looked for Monster cables that work on SNES and the prices are pretty high (my friend's not gonna pay $50 for a cable), but hopefully there's one more in his price range that you guys have experience with and know what I'm talking about with the checkerboard pattern where you can say for sure they don't do it.
Kinda a weird post, I know, but I figured if anyone would know, it'd be you guys.
