Electronics pro tip: whatever sketchy thing you're doing, putting the plastic casing on your DB and DE connectors will make it look more profesionnal (and less likely that you break a solder joint)

Gp2x breakout board, 1084s DIN RGB to VGA and VGA to SCART passive cable now with the cases on the connectors. I was long out of stock and had been using no casing or larger casing on smaller connectors until now, just reordered and received some.

(It still looks sketchy: some of the cables are not hroper shielded ones but rainbow flat cable, some have the insulation "repaired" with heatshrink tube, one has a wire loop that goes out of the casing and back in)
