- | First I hacked up my custom made SCART extension cable - it had a female SCART on one end and a male SCART on the other end. It was a straight-through cable, each pin went from 1 to 1, 2 to 2 etc. Nothing special. | + | First I hacked up my custom made SCART extension cable - it had a female SCART on one end and a male SCART on the other end.
