We love retro video games, but struggled to make them work with modern TVs. So we launched Insurrection Industries to make things better, simple, and affordable

I am not a pathologist, but I am a cardiologist and there is no way in hell he died from anything in his blood, other than CO2, due to being strangled to death. I don’t really care what was there, it doesn’t cause positionally dependent cardiac arrest. Nothing washes away murder
To thank everyone for the amazing support we are having a 3500 follower giveaway! We are giving away a PC Engine prize package with console, controller, Spark Plug and RGB SCART Cable. Winner will be drawn at random from our followers on 10/30/2020! Good Luck!
We are having another giveaway to celebrate 4000. Everything you need to get beautiful 480p digital video from the TurboGrafx or PCEngine. Spark Plug + RGB +
@retrotink2
SCART is one sweet combination. We will pick a winner from our followers on one week 11/12/20. Good Luck!
I am happy to announce that after a very long wait 16 new or revised models of RGB and S-video cables, including 6 brand new cables, will be complete by the end of June. We are working to get a small number shipped by air ahead if possible and will update about exact timing ASAP
We want to say Thank You! from a rag tag band of misfits. We appreciate all of you making this possible. This is for the love of the games. No one is getting rich, but we are able to keep at least one person, our amazingly reliable shipping person, from loosing her home. Thanks!
CARBY Component Cable for GameCube is coming! The last major hurdle is done, and we could not be happier with the fantastic build quality. We will announce details, dates and price in the next couple of weeks!
We are finalizing new S-video cables for SNES/N64/GC, Saturn, PlayStation, and Dreamcast. We are really excited by the level of performance we are seeing. No date for availability but we should be entering production in a few weeks. SCART extension cables are also on the way.
Not game related but had a huge win today that will help me care for marginalized patients with very rare and complex medical conditions. We have suffered so many losses but I am glad to claim a big win. I am sorry for any followers who do not wish for this kind of comment
Would anyone be interested in premium quality 75 Ohm BNC cables, and BNC to RCA cables if we offered them? Not sure it would be feasible but trying to gauge interest.
Can we all agree that
@Artemio
is an amazing person and perhaps the greatest asset to the retro community. We just want to say a huge thank you to you and the
@240pTest
team for continuing to develop the tools that are critical to what we do!
Thank you for sticking with us! A limited supply of 6 models (SNES s-video, SNES Csync, Genesis 2 scart, Playstation 1 scart, and 6' extension scart cables) are arriving by air and are on the way. We will eat the crazy cost of air shipment because you have waited long enough!
We are having limited time sale on the Carby GameCube digital video device starting today and lasting through the weekend. $69.95 for some sharp 480p goodness.
In case anyone is wondering why the new S-video cables are a little bit heavy. We may gone a little overboard with shielding, but we are really happy with the audio and video performance.
We are expecting final production samples of our shielded S-video cables including more nintendo S-video, plain S-video(+stereo) to S-video(+stereo) as well as wii and xbox S-video cables as well. That will bring us up to 7 varieties of S-video cable. More updates to come ASAP.
I regret to inform everyone that our current prices will only last through the current inventory. Our production costs have increased dramatically for the upcoming production runs with an 80% increase in copper alone. I assure you we will work to control costs as much as we can.
Thanks to the effort of a fantastic team the Genesis/Mega Drive Triple-Bypass V2 is born. This has been optimized using MDfourier to precisely replicate the best model 1s. All models supported with jumper settings! On sale starting tomorrow for $39.50
Quick update, we have sold our last Carby Component Cables,
@CastleManiaRyan
and
@gamesconnection
have a small number left. We are not planning to make more at this time due to excessive cost and large minimum quantities of manufacturing , Thank you its been a great run!
Quick Update, Nintendo S-video, Wii S-video, and S-video to S-video are complete and on the way, should be for sale in a few weeks. Carbys are in production and re-fresh of RGB cables and new models about to start production. Also planning to roll out some new models soon.
3) We are officially announcing our upcoming gamecube component cable featuring our metal connector, molded shell and high quality 75ohm coaxial cable terminated with BNC connectors (RCA adapters included). Our analog audio cable will compliment this perfectly! More to come!
We are currently testing the new prototypes for our RGB cables (3rd edition for most and 4th edition for some), and they are shaping up to be the best yet!
We apologize for rare updates, our team has been hampered by serious family and health issues, but we do have a few new cables releasing shortly, and we are training a new person to handle service tickets. Better times and new help are here, and the future looks bright!
We are creating our next batch of cables at this time and will be adding S-video for Saturn, Playstation, and possibly one other. We will also be adding male to male and male to female SCART cables as well. More announcements to come.
I am happy to report that our full re-stock has finally arrived. We are sorry for the long wait, we will be testing/adding items to inventory over the next few days as we can get them tested starting with S-video for Nintendo, dreamcast, PlayStation and Saturn at 3:00pm EST.
It has come to out attention that Bitfunx has created a GameCube component cable. Based on this fact we are considering two options and would like your opinion. We can just stop, or we can redesign and offer something slightly different. Should we...
I know there is negativity at every turn, but I want to say that we are so appreciative of the many wonderful people we have had the opportunity to meet from customers to creators to just plain great people in this wonderful world. From the bottom of hearts, thank you!
We just want to go on the record that supporting people like
@kaicolabs
, who blatantly rip off the designs of hard working, creative people like
@retrotink2
, do not deserve your business. Supporting them will absolutely hinder new development and those willing to take that risk
We are nearing 3000 twitter followers. I can't believe all of the support we have received from this great community. I think a giveaway (maybe something unreleased) will be in order to commemorate that.
In order to allow the best possible result for everyone we will include custom 75Ohm BNC to RCA adapters with every cable. These are expensive to make but we remain committed to our price objective. The official price with adapters will be $89.50, pre-orders will begin 9/6/2019
I know that the PS5 is the jam, but I am genuinely excited that we might get our first PS4 this Christmas. What great library to explore for the first time.
December sales have been a bit slow, but we are committed to giving what we can to the charities we previously mentioned. As such, we are donating 100% of profits from the month of December to charities who desperately need support more than ever before.
I have to say thank you to
@Artemio
and the
@240pTest
crew. After 3 years (Much procrastination involved) the 240p test suite helped me isolate a Z80 ram issue on a model 1. I bought some new old stock Samsung ram models and fixed the darn thing. Many thanks!
At long last we finally have our first Carby units completed and available for sale. We only have black for now but clear are on the way as well. Thank you all for the support and patience!
The New Genesis/MD Triple-Bypass V2 is now for sale. $39.50 USD with free shipping in the continental US.
Thanks goes out to the great team who worked on this, they are listed on the PCB and on our site.
Update: We are still struggling to get parts for Carby at a reasonable cost, so we are going to try release any and all reserve units for sale. 10 are going up now, and we have maybe 20-25 more that we are testing and updating prior to sale.
The GC component cables are making amazing progress. Most would call them done......but we are a bit more fussy than that. Getting it right is taking time, but I think it will be worth it.
CARBY is a digital AV converter for GameCube delivering clear 480p video and digital audio to your HD TV. It features a metal connector to exact OEM specs, a remote and HDMI cable. Price: $74.99 + Free shipping! Ship date Sep 28th (small delay), pre-orders open 9/10/18 at noon
We have finally approved the new S-video cable multi-core copper assembly and the magic word is shielding. Productions samples soon after. Production timeline once those are approved. Sorry for the delays, Goal is excellent performance and continued available going forward.
CARBY Component Cable Testing: getting some of the sharpest video output I have ever seen from the GameCube and overall we are very pleased. This is with the production level board and cable assembly.
Carby Component Cables for the GameCube are now available for purchase! Please visit us at or visit one of our partners

Carby Component update: The coaxial cable assemblies and 75 Ohm BNC to RCA adapters are in full production which will take 4 weeks as they are completely custom, final assembly and delivery will take another 2 weeks after that. Sorry for the delays but we are in the home stretch
We apologize for delays. It has been a tough production cycle due to broken tooling but have managed to get some Carbys done and we should have them available within 2 weeks. Larger shipment after that. We will post updates once we know the exact date they will be in stock.
Once production details, timing and pricing are final we will open pre-orders for the component cables. This break from tradition is only to help us anticipating demand and not because we are having trouble with design or production. Date to be announced soon.
We will announce the winner tonight. Since we have since crossed the 4000 follower level we are planning to do a second prize package in the near future.

I have worked on reworking these multiple times and we are still trying but every coax has failed to surpass the performance given the frequencies and distances. to coax 15Khz is basically DC so I guess it figures. 31Khz is truly another story but I've gone deep and come up empty
In case anyone is wondering why the new S-video cables are a little bit heavy. We may gone a little overboard with shielding, but we are really happy with the audio and video performance.
High quality true 75 Ohm BNC to RCA converters will be available, We will also offer a high quality stereo audio cable (with S-video, using the analog AV port) as a companion for those interested. It will also work well with N64/SNES for the retrotink (
@retrotink2
) or CRT
Gamecube component cable update: The new strain relief mold is done and testing of the new more compliant cable assemblies will undergo mechanical testing this week. If all goes well we will do a small production level test run as a final step before full scale production.
Very sorry everyone. I really underestimated the demand for the S-video cables. We do have many more already done and on the way by sea. I will also check the stock after we get all of these sent to see if there are more that I can add sooner than that.
Update: We are making slow progress to get more stock, a batch of bad FPGAs is delaying our next round of Carbys, and are working hard to get and verify "production level" samples of cables. We apologize for the terrible timing, and will update as soon as we can.
Sorry for ongoing delays, Carbys (FW 3.0d) and Triple Bypass Boards (w/o attached mini-din connectors) are done and should be available in the next two weeks if shipping goes relatively on schedule. Thank you all for your patience.
These are the models that are finished or are scheduled to be finished by end of June. We will post updates once we have confirmed arrival times and availability.

Update: We have been working hard to update and release all remaining Carbys for sale. We have just listed our last small batch for sale. Hopefully we will have the full refresh in the next 6-8 weeks. Sorry for the delays.
I did a thing. Kind of a major splurge, but I really love this game and I kind of have a purchase rule if I am going to play a game for real and not just us it for testing.
Thank you for your patience with the CARBY Component Cables, we finally received production samples of the 75 Ohm coaxial cables assemblies and are building "final" prototypes right now for another round of testing.
Quick update to address questions about new S-video cables. We are expecting to have production level prototypes in for testing soon. (Nintendo, Saturn, PlayStation, and Dreamcast) We will be sure update once we have confirmed we are good for production.
The Carby digital video device for the GameCube is back in stock. Also we are expecting arrival of our new RGB cables and S-video cables November 24th by our best estimate of transit time. Thank you for your support and extreme patience.
Triple Bypass PCBs, originally from

Gamecube Component is coming! The production model will use different cable, but we are in the home stretch and should have some images available very soon!
