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

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!

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!

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.

Plugged the unit into my Saturn, followed instructions, and looks great out of the box. Will look even better after some tweaking/installing latest firmware. Build quality feels good overall. Was initially concerned about the logo being “upside down” in relation to the lcd display, but since the unit sits “sideways” after plugging everything in, I think that orientation works.

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.

This Device is absolutely great you just need to make sure you get a RGB scart for the absolute best picture quality. be careful because some scart cables are not wired for RGB looks great for the PS1 also great for the super Nintendo. Fortunately, the N64 requires a mod for RGB for RGB scart.

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.

Learning curve setting this up, but when I used it for the PS2 it really breathed life into the old console. Could never get it to play quite right with the GameCube. However, I only got a handful of plays out of it & now it’s stopped working. For the price this really isn’t worth it. Wish there was another brand with more integrity.
