==== Sega Genesis/Megadrive to HDMI converters ====
Those are similar to Scart to HDMI converters and can be a bit cheaper and are much smaller. However their connector is made for SEGA consoles so you will need mod it or build your own adapter to connect it to the CPC.
Pay attention to buy an adapter that supports RGB as some only support Composite Video.
 
Most adapters will not support advanced CRTC tricks like in Relentless or even Ghosts'n Goblins. However the "[https://kaicolabs.com/product/kaico-sega-saturn-2x-line-doubler-hdmi/ Kaico Sega Saturn 2x]" adapter does properly support CRTC scrolling like in Ghosts'n Goblins - only the very latest, advanced tricks like in Relentless will not fully work but at least display a picture with stuttered scrolling. You might need to update the firmware and adjust brightness settings with the software from the Kaicolabs homepage to properly use it. The adapter can be found for around €30 in online stores (as of 2025).
 
Another advantage: The adapters are so small that they can easily be placed inside the CPC to add an internal HDMI output.
