8-pin mini DIN mod for Sega Saturn

This is a mod design with a PCB and a 3D printed shroud, for replacing a broken 10-pin mini DIN AV port on a Sega Saturn with an 8-pin mini DIN port. It will output an RGBS video signal and stereo audio, conforming to the XRGB pinout.

This design has been verified on NTSC model HST-3210 and HST-3220, as well as the Victor V-Saturn RG-JX2(Y). If your Saturn is from a different model, the metal shield might be incompatible with the 3D-printed piece. You might need to trim the piece or your metal shield in order for it to fit (or you could provide me with some measurements so I can design a…
