it’s wild how many old videogame systems had proprietary a/v outs instead of standard ones. on the one hand yeah, sure, packing a bunch of output pins became possible. on the other, some regular-ass composite/component outs woulda let people keep and reuse their own converters p simply (i mean how many of us were just using the VCR to convert composite to RF anyway lol) and as time went on, replacing or outright making new cables would be that much simpler. glad everything’s pretty much settled on a pair of cross-compatible standards now.
