In this video I will show you a well kept secret about how to get a lot of older game consoles to have the best picture quality. It's the miracle that is SCART and its full RGB signal, and how you can convert it to HDMI in an upscaled 720p or even full 1080p image and make it look astonishingly beautiful. Seriously, it blows my mind how good this looks. This is done through a seemingly magical Japanese device called the Micomsoft XRGB-Mini Framemeister!
As an added bonus feature, it allows you to convert a PAL video signal to an NTSC one or vice versa.
If you use a device like the Hauppauge HD PVR 2, it will also allow you to easily capture game footage with crystal clear quality.
There are three scart types that should be addressed in the description so that some players aren't disappointed.
1. A scart adaptor - this is not scart - It is simply AV cables in an RCA to scart connection adaptor.
2. A regular scart lead. This is the same as above but with an actual (7 pin) scart connection. Quality wise, it's still just an AV cable.
3. RGB Scart - this is the true high quality scart. Usually 21 pin.
This will work best with the following consoles:
Atari Jaguar
Atari Jaguar CD
Nintendo Super Nintendo (Super Famicom) (original model only)
Philips CD-I or CDI (450 model not supported)
Sega Master System (model one)
Sega Genesis (Mega Drive) (models one and two)
Sega CD (Mega CD)
Sega 32X
Sega Saturn
Sony Playstation (1)
SNK Neo Geo AES
SNK Neo Geo CD
This will not work with anything older such as the Atari 2600, Atari 5200, Atari 7800, Nintendo Entertainment System, Colecovision, Famicom etcetera.
Some notable exceptions that do not work because of the limits of the console itself:
Nintendo 64 (unless RGB modded)
Super Nintendo Jr (unless RGB modded)
3DO (any model, Panasonic, Goldstar etcetera, though S-Video is supported)
NEC Turbografx 16 (unless modded or uses external RGB adapter)
PC Engine (unless modded or uses external RGB adapter)
Sega Pico
This method is also not worth applying to consoles from the Dreamcast onward as they have more advanced methods of video display. Using this on these consoles will result in a loss of image quality. These consoles include:
Apple Pippin (included on board VGA)
Sega Dreamcast (supports VGA, but SCART is supported as well for non compatible titles)
Nintendo GameCube
Nintendo Wii (not including the Wii Mini)
Nintendo Wii U
Microsoft XBox
Microsoft XBox 360
Microsoft XBox One (and Xbox One S)
Sony Playstation 2
Sony Playstation 3
Sony Playstation 4 (and PS4 Pro)
