The downside to 720p mode is vertical scanline overlay is STILL based on 4x scale. The vertical slices are still spaced 4 pixels apart, even though the horizontal scanline placement is set properly to 3 pixels apart. Lets take a look at how rectangular the vertical scanline effect is on a 256-res game for the Genesis: For now, I can have my glorious CRTs. I even run my Switch through my 16:9 model with an HDMI converter (Sonic Mania looks proper stunning on it). And there are also alternate cables for the NES/Famicom, or adapters, and even with the added cost of those, you'd still be cheaper off. This seems to shape up nicely, and impressive that it already improves upon what way more expensive devices can do, but they could at the very least have made some kind of enclosure around it, instead of having such a bare bones design.

GrailUK I kept expecting footage of Cybernator to show up, but I didn't see it. Was it in there? Great game, but "Target Earth" was better, which reminds me I haven't played the remake and I even own it.

If…and this is a huge“if” that will be explained below… if your TV is compatible with 240p and has a good scaler, you can get decent performance and no added lag from HD Retrovision’s component video cables. At the moment, they’re only available for the SNES multi-out and Genesis 1 / Genesis 2 AV ports, but that covers SNES, NES (if modded with a multi-out), N64 (if RGB modded), PAL Game Cube (not NTSC), Genesis 1 – 3, Master System and anything modded with a Genesis 2-style port. Please read on for details:

Separate surround channels you'll have to deal with yourself. There's no optical or coaxial input or output. Well, at least after trying everything else that's what I found to be the best. Oh, the analogue output from a WiiDual or GCDual would also do it. NoAffinity wrote:Maybe adding a little color and numbering the step-by-step would be helpful. This is going from memory. The last time I set up a remote was 4-5 months ago. GameCube games should probably appear sharper on the Wii U HDMI vs the Wii's component output. (similar to the GameCube's original component output which has usually been considered fairly clean)

It's not the processing, believe me. If you connect your FM to a (PC-)CRT, it behaves just like the image on a native 15khz CRT. Integrated scanline support, high compatibility and very good picture quality for all 240p sources. But it is definitely on my radar since it is exactly what I would want from such a device. Now all I need is for some whiz kid to come up with a device that re-enables light guns on modern TV's and my retro-gaming needs will be completely fulfilled... I don't know if I have the latest Wii U firmware (I'm using whatever shipped with bayonetta 2) but the scaling seems to have a few quirks.Cool, nice to see that there are some other solutions out there for classic systems to be played on current HD televisions. I'm currently using a xrgb - mini framemeister for my retro gaming needs. Noise. I could find no difference in noise levels between the two inputs. This seems to be just a problem with the Framemeister no matter what input you use. Damo You should probably link to the Mylifeingaming video on youtube which is all about the OSSC somewhere in your article. The OSSC is in many ways better than the framemeister and their video on alternatives to the framemeister is pretty much the world's best summary on the topic. The other essential resource would be this from Fudoh: http://retrogaming.hazard-city.de/ossc.html . Fudoh has probably tested more upscalers and line doublers than anyone else on the planet for the purpose of retro gaming. The final place to look for info on retro consoles and getting the best possible picture is here: http://retrorgb.com/ . Overall, if you’re looking for a convenient and easy-to-use solution for playing retro Nintendo games on your modern TV, the Kaico HDMI Adapter is definitely worth considering. Pound for pound, this device seems to be a FAR better option than any other device, both functionality-wise and price-wise, especially if you take into account how much you're getting for a considerably lower price. I was always looking for a solution like this, but was never willing to pay the ridiculous prices that the other devices go for, so this one is definitely on my "to buy" list.
