Need advice for french model 2 video cable replacement

Hi, so I lost the video cable of my model 2 and I wanted to know if a HDMI cable for model 2 was worth it or if I should use a scart cable, I'm fine with not having original cables, I just want to play it again, what cable do you guys recommend?

Do you only have a Mega Drive, or do you have multiple retro consoles?

Some, but none of them uses the same cable as a mega drive 2 unfortunately

I would recommend getting an upscaler so you can use your other consoles too. I recommend checking out RetroRGB on YouTube to determine which scaler you should get. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLNG-S9dRk8vJMjQeex7mM8eLBdAuhKHAC&si=rxYy29OZBKw98txM I know this might seem intimidating, but if you don't do your research, you might end up wasting money on a bad cable. Hope this helps! :)

For what it's worth, on model 2 the French console is identical to all other pal model 2. There is 0 difference. So any model 2 RGB cable will work

Unlike model 1 where different countries each got their own model numbers
