Works with PI 4 B with some caveats

After some troubleshooting with the config file, this cable should work with composite from Pi 4 board. If using a Pi 4 Model B board, make sure to turn to add "hdmi_ignore_hotplug=1" to your config line. Also be sure to comment out (as in put a # sign in front of) "hdmi_force_hotplug=1".Most importantly, if your video is turning blank after the rainbow splash and RPI boot load up screen, make sure you are adding the use of an older KMS driver, namely "dtoverlay=vc4-fkms-v3d". Then comment out the newer driver. Should have uninterrupted video signal now.

An authentic way to play RetroPie

The media could not be loaded. I've been playing my RetroPie setup on a modern LCD monitor for years. While it's been great, an authentic feeling of retro gaming on a CRT was calling out to me. I missed the glow of the old tube TV, the real scanlines it produce, and the slightly fuzzy image it provided. These cables provide that feeling!Initially I wasn't getting an picture (only audio), I had to go into my config.txt and uncomment my "force HDMI" line. Now works like a charm. Still in the process of converting my setup to a 4:3 home menu (misalignment in games selection screen), but games look and sound beautiful during gameplay.I highly recommend these cables for anyone wanting to play on a CRT!

Best RCA cable for a Raspberry Pi 3

I wanted to connect my Raspberry Pi to an old CRT (retro gaming) and this cable worked perfectly. It's well made and will clearly last a very long time.

These Do Exactly What They Should

These do exactly what they should do and output composite video and stereo audio from the 3.5mm jack on a raspberry pi. Composite video quality is pretty mediocre, but that isn't the fault of these cables.

My bad

Thought it didnt work but you have to force hdmi ignore in config. Cant switch easily between HDMI and this composite out. But thats a software/Pi problem, this cable works well enough

Doesn't seem to fit, poor shielding

Tried on two different CRTs, might have a dud but it simply doesn't seem to be able to create a proper connection / fit snugly. Shielding is lacking.

Go-to composite out cable for your raspberry pi

I used this for my CRT retro gaming fix. I put this on my raspberry pi 3b+ and it produces a nice picture. Curb your expectations as this is just a composite signal, and not.componemt.
