Mcbazel OSSC SCART Component VGA to HDMI Open Source Scan Converter v1.6 for Retro Gaming Saturn SNES PS1 Console US Plug

It works easily out of the box using a SCART cable, and there is a LOT of functionality beyond the basics you can tap if you’re savvy enough. Tested on my PS2 with immediate results. RGB input is REQUIRED; N64 users in an NTSC region will need to mod their consoles. Pictures are OEM composite output cables directly to TV and then through the Mcbazel OSSC using a SCART cable.

Seems great after a day of use. The PSU is low quality but you can easily change out if wanted.

This upscaler works fantastic. I was a bit skeptical when I first purchased it, but after using it for months I can absolutely say I’m satisfied. Out of the box, the remote didn’t work consistently. That said I was surprisingly able to fix this by pressing the remote face-down on my desk firmly. I believe a connection was loose, and that solved it. The built in options are great, and the build quality feels solid. I can’t say I’d feel great about dropping it or stacking anything heavy on it, but you can tell it’s decently constructed. The sound and video quality are great. Input lag is basically nonexistent, at least in my experience. My original Nintendo Wii was given new life, and I’ve finally been able to enjoy using it on modern 4k displays. Overall: works great (-1 star due to the remote situation), feels decently solid for what it is, and has lasted me at least several months of sustained use. Just make sure you do your research on what connections and cables you need for certain outputs and you’re all set.

The OSSC itself seems to be a solid product in theory, but my experience has been very frustrating. The unit I received came with a non-functioning remote, which is essential to operate the device. I contacted the manufacturer immediately to request a replacement remote, but I never received a response. They’ve stopped answering my emails altogether. Now my return window has closed, and I’m stuck with a device I can’t use. While I’ve found third-party remotes online, I shouldn’t have to spend extra money to make a brand-new product functional. Bottom line: The product might work fine—if you’re lucky—but don’t count on any help if something goes wrong. No warranty, no support, no accountability. Buyer beware.

I've tried a ton of options to get my ps2 to look good on my modern TV. My journey ended with this purchase. If you want your retro consoles to not look dark and muddy on your new tv and you don't want to break the bank, then give this a try. You won't be disappointed!

After buying the OSSC converter I have been playing through my entire library if PS2; WiI, Xbox and Gamecube. You must get the SCART cable to really see how much this can do. I absolutely love love love this product. I have been enjoying it every day. To see how good many (not all) games really look is astounding. Some games that were badly made, no graphics will make them a better game. Games that were higher production quality to begin with shine! I can’t believe I waited so long. Don’t hesitate if you’re thinking of making this purchase. Just don’t forget to get the SCART cable, and set youPS2 to RGB in the setting. It takes a little playing around to discover how to manipulate the image, but once you get it. Boom! Games like Shinobi, Nightshade, Drakkengard, Pokemon Coleseum get new life.

If you have compatible hardware it's really a nice piece of tech. It also pairs nicely with an mclassic in some cases. Highly recommend!

This item is one version of the OSSC, and turns out it is not case-compatible with the official one, having several different components populated on the board, so it will not fit in the normal OSSC cases. It is not at all confidence-inspiring that the manufacturer here deviated from the official board layout and component selection. The PSU is extremely cheap, and some things are just incorrect. Some of the components I noticed were different are: - the screen: The height of the screen is quite a bit lower than what's shown in pictures of the official OSSC, and on closer examination, it appears the screen was soldered to the wrong side of the board because of layout issues. - the buttons: the buttons here have yellow nubs on top, but the official one has low profile tactile buttons. This is another point where 3D printed cases made for this (such as those sold by Laser Bear) will interfere with this OSSC, preventing the case from closing. - The audio select switch: the switch is mounted to the bottom of the PCB instead of the top. There appear to be traces for the switch on the top of the PCB, but it's not clear why they were mounted to the bottom of the board. Again, this is an issue because cases will have allowance for this switch, and expect the switch to be located on the top of the PCB. Given that these components were swapped or moved, I can't be certain about the rest of the component choices, and given how cheap the power supply is, I'm not confident at all that the manufacturers here prioritized quality over price in any way whatsoever.

This device works correctly and has some great features: 1. The yellow button covers look and feel great. 2. The micro SD card slot actually clicks when inserting an SD Card (for firmware update) 3. The cutout underneath to switch audio is a better idea than reaching inside to hit the switch I am happy with this device. I am using it on my 286, 386 and 486 computers and every game that I have run so far looks great on my 4K TV. You must be very careful with the LCD screen, and especially if you are inserting it into a plastic enclosure: I already destroyed one of these (from another vendor) because the LCD screen broke off and at that point the whole device stopped working.

I bought this device a few weeks ago because I wanted to play my old consoles like the Saturn and SNES on my new HD TV. I gotta say, my first impressions were pretty solid. It looks nice, feels sturdy, and set up was really straightforward; just plug and play, you know? I was honestly surprised at how well it translated the colors. I played Super Mario World with my kids, and they loved how vibrant the graphics looked compared to how I remember them! However, there’s a slight catch. Sometimes, the image can get a bit flickery, especially when you first turn it on or switch between resolutions. It doesn’t happen all the time, but it can be a tad annoying. The sound quality is decent, but I was hoping for a bit more clarity when playing music-heavy games. If you're super picky about sound, it might disappoint you. Overall, though, with minor tweaks, I’m really enjoying it and consider it a great addition to my retro gaming setup. Pros: • Easy to set up and use • Good video quality • Compatible with multiple old consoles Cons: • Occasional image flickering • Sound quality could be better Overall: I recommend this product. I rated it 4 stars because while it does have some minor issues, the overall quality and ease of use make it a worthwhile investment for any retro gaming lover.

Was worried considering this is near $100 off other versions through other brands, but it does it's job and it does it well. Highly recommend for those who just finished a nights worth of research on these things, for Retro Gaming. I didn't go broke and I can read what's on my screen

Works fine as expected. Lots of setting, so you can tune output signal whatever way you want

I'm really impressed with this product. I recently bought a PS1 and a PS2, tried them with a simple HDMI converter, but was not really impressed with the picture quality. After some online digging I learned about OSSC and this one was in my price range. I have no game mode on this particular TV (Sony, about 8yrs old, around 40"), but I set it to 4:3 and with the OSSC the picture is great and I don't find any eye strain while playing. It's easy to set up and doesn't feel flimsy or cheap. My only criticism is the remote, which has way more buttons than necessary! But this is a minor issue compared to the function of the item.
