Kaico Edition OSSC 1.8 Open Source Scan Converter with SCART- Component, VGA to HDMI for Retro Gaming- Zero Lag RGB Line Multiplier Upscaler for Perfect Retro Gameplay

Works perfect and every single game looks awesomee!!! its kind of expensive but totally worth it and a must for retrogaming.

This converter works very well indeed. I do wish some of the settings terminology was better explained. If you are not an analog video signal expert, some settings may not make a lot of sense, and understanding their adjustment will be puzzling.I like that the signal gets through quickly on power-up, and the image quality is good to very good, depending on adjustments. The remote works well, though seems odd at first. The manual is also good. And I like the front display panel. While small, it helps with configuration, and regular use.Also the unit is smaller than I expected. This makes it move under cable tension. I wish there was a way to weigh it down, so it could stay in place. But this is really very minor nit-picking.

First of all, the OSSC is a great device. It can handle just about any analog video signal and upscale it while converting it to a digital HDMI signal with basically no lag at all.That said, I can't recommend the Kaico edition because it's $50 more than the version sold by Videogame Perfection after shipping charges and sales tax are accounted for. Since the OSSC is an open-source project, I don't see a reason to spend a third more dollars than absolutely necessary.

I've been messing with it non-stop and I'm very happy! Once you dial in the timings and other settings, the picture is incredibly sharp. There are ten profile slots so you can save your settings for each console and on top of that you can import settings from an SD card. I used firebrandx's settings and it looks unbelievable!It came really well packaged and the build quality seems to be good, but time will tell. I took it apart and everything looks solid. If anything happens to the unit, I'll update the review.P.S.The OSSC just got a firmware update a few days after I received it and it updated just fine. The new features are working great!Update:I've been using this with a SNES and a PS1 using scart cables and the picture looks beautiful! Yesterday, I received some GameCube component cables and tried out game boy interface. GBA games look fantastic! With GameCube component cables this thing can upscale GBA games all the way up to 1080p and it doesn't dissapoint!

I had been looking at splurging on one of these for some time. Finally did it, and it was totally worth it. Some enthusiasts say that the OSSC isn't user friendly, but I'd disagree - the included manual is helpful if the remote buttons aren't self-explanatory enough on their own. I had it set up and running in no time.The line doubling feature works great as expected, but the 3x, 4x and 5x modes are incredible as well. It will make any of your old systems that have Component or RGB out look great on modern displays, and even works well with the PS2's 480i output in 2x and 4x mode.It also comes in some sharp, well-put-together packaging. It's a great product, and I'd highly recommend anyone looking for the best way to play old games on a modern TV to spend the money and give this thing a go!

I had a goal of finally getting away from always having to use a crt for my retro gear... This almost makes it (no composite support and, strangely, not everything supports scart).This is a really great toy if you are a retro gaming enthusiast.The latency feels almost nonexistent.The inclusion of the remote and power adapter make it a more appealing OSSC implementation than any other I have seen.The included instructions are not great though. You'll have to go to the OSSC page for some help.All said though, it works flawlessly, the cost was right and feels high quality. The skeletal, open-frame design may not appeal to everyone but I think it is pretty cool.

Exactly what I needed to make my ps2 games look much better. Simple to use with a SCART cable.

The OSSC is a great device if you are looking to reach beyond what Composite video and your flatscreen is offering you with your older consoles!. I mainly use this with my PS2 paired with HD Retrovision component cables and it's a night and day difference! If you plan on running Scart or Component video with all of your older consoles(if you are here then I'm sure you are aware that some retro consoles will need modded to output RGB over scart or component cables) this is without a doubt the device you will need! There are a lot of settings to tinker with, but I suggest the generic settings, and play with the 2x,3x,4x, and 5x modes and see what you like best. At 200 dollars, this is a small investment well worth it if you are a console collector and want to get the best output out of original hardware, as the Framemeister has reached unobtainable prices for the average gamer.
