I still have my original 13" television that I got when I bought my first computer (an Atari 800xl). It STILL WORKS. And it's the best device to play retro games on... I am glad I resisted the temptation to toss it when I got larger CRTs and LCDs. :) The vertical is about to go out, but it was used when I bought it in 1983. And with some exceptions in the early aughts, it has seen near constant use as a monitor for my C64/Atari/and retro consoles. :)

[@dauntless78]

Lol. Hdmi is overkill for retro systems. VGA looks great and, in my opinion, is the best video format for these older consoles. Not only this, but changing an analog signal to a digital one, will cause lag and isn't viable. All you're doing here is taking one analog signal and turning it into a better analog signal, since VGA is analog. And this looks better than hdmi.

I had a silver Hauppauge branded composite to vga adapter back in the day (around 2003) that looked exactly like this one. Unfortunately it worked way worse back then as it had major lag and artifacting. Didnt use it but for a couple of times. I might still have it laying around actually.

[@WilliamMcCarthyIII]

just some quick notes: the NES and N64 output in 240p. You do NOT want deinterlacing here. They're already progressive scan, and deinterlacing will ruin their image, so it's good that it seems to not be deinterlacing. I'm glad that it outputs an image that isn't smoothing out the vertical pixels, because that would look god awful in any situation except maybe PS2 era games in 480i. Also, I hope the 75hz output and resolution is optional, otherwise it will cause strange scrolling patterns and jittering. I'd love to see S-Video performance eventually. S-Video is a MASSIVE upgrade over composite for basically the same exact price Thanks for the review!

[@JohnSmith-qn3ob]

He did use S-Video for the N64 and PS2. He mentions it at 8:12

[@the_motherfucker]

"Not" isn't an acronym

[@Yipper64]

Looking into things, aparently they make some that go in the other direction. And since the GBS8200 (a cheap upscaler that also works as a downscaler to 240p) only outputs VGA, I think it might be my best option. They make cheap kind of direct converter solutions, but I think the lack of using power to do it *may* cause a lot of quality loss, so im going with this.

[@brandyberry14]

yeah plus the hack makes GBS great. Wonder if there's a way to hack the Composite to VGA adapter to somehow get 240p

Rubberized plastic is cool and all until you neglect it for a few years and it's protective coating starts to erode away; you're left with a sticky mess that can only be cleaned up with baking soda and elbow grease.

I ordered an adapter like this for my Sega Dreamcast when it first came out, except it connected via the proprietary Dreamcast connector and then connected to VGA - like circa 2000 or something; there was no lag then either.

[@pikgears]

The Dreamcast supported VGA natively, which provided a higher quality than composite converted to VGA, like matt is doing here with his NES. You probably used the Dreamcast's direct VGA output unless you used some weird cheap third-party adapter

[@joemck85]

I got the exact same looking box for $20 on ebay in around 2012. Since then I've gotten composite to HDMI boxes that cost twice as much and died inside of a month. This one just keeps chugging away. It's not perfect though. They've coated it in that grippy rubbery finish that feels premium but in about 5 years it turns to sticky gunk that's near impossible to get off. And the buttons get some sort of oxidation inside them and get cranky and super irritating to use, but that's easy enough to fix with a squirt of DeoxIt or contact cleaner. The quality at least on mine is great. The deinterlacing actually works really well on things like PS2 480i though some lines of the N64's 240p confuse it and it creates a strange effect. According to the box it also features a "3D denoising filter", and I have to say that really works too. It cleans up composite enough that the first time I used it, I had to double check that it wasn't on S-Video. Switching back and forth there's a definite difference but I've seen S-Video rendered worse than this thing's composite. The upscaling is dodgy though so it's best to leave it at 640x480 and let the monitor scale it. For CRTs I find it very useful that it has an 85 Hz output. This makes motion judder a little but gets rid of the dreadful headache-inducing 60 Hz flicker, which is one thing I really don't miss about that era.

Yo Matt, this is a comment on the eBay Composite to VGA review video, and I found where the product came from (or maybe someone who ripped off eBay). The one I learned my dad had is from Fosmon, and the name/logo goes where it says "composite to VGA" on yours.

[@zsombor_99]

Hey, "VGA IN" is a pass-trough connector that allows a VGA source (for example a computer) use the connected monitor without disconnect the adapter. You can switch between "S video", "composite" and "VGA pass-trough" by one of those buttons. However, the adapter still needs to be powered to use VGA pass-trough... 😉 Looks like I have a little different version of this adapter. First, mine has no LEDs, second, mine has BNC connector instead of RCA, and third, mine has these buttons: - "AV/SV/VGA" - "ZOOM" - "PIC" - "MENU" - "RES" - "PIP" Of corse, it can't do "picture in picture" and some buttons do something different than what's labeled on the adapter. So, I say, you have a better version, dude.

I've had one of these things for years, but it goes in the opposite direction. You put VGA in and get composite/S-Video out. It uses the same case, except in blue, and also runs off of USB power. It has a different, more primitive user interface as well. On mine, the side with the single VGA port is the input, while the side with the three other connectors is the output. Mine also has dipswitches in the location that yours has the QA sticker. I originally bought mine from a retail store (Radioshack probably?) almost a decade ago

[@CYON4D]

I also have two of these and they are just perfect for playing old consoles on my VGA monitors. I love it.

This brings back memories... I had one that looked the same and converted VGA to Composite/S-Video so I could use my Core 2 Duo - PC on a spare "flat"screen I got from my older brother (No cash for a monitor). good times (And by good I mean nostalgic and not the TVs input lag - because THAT was horrible :D)

[@ClintTheriault]

This converter is ok, but it doesn't properly handle 240p signals properly. It's definitely impressive for the price though. The best solution that I've found for this (and I've tried a BUNCH) is the RetroTINK2X with a cheap HDMI 2 VGA adapter plugged into it. less than 1ms lag added and a WAAY cleaner picture, even rivaling that of a framemister or ossc! It is about $100 USD though so it's not exactly cheap.

Saw the thumbnail and was like hey! I have that too! I bought mine from aliexpress though. That thing is honestly amazing. Indeed the picture-in-picture does exactly what pip does on android. But you can't choose which is the smaller one. If you have a VGA and composite signal going through it will display the composite signal in pip over the VGA signal in the bottom right corner and you can set it to 2 different sizes. Indeed the VGA output is next to the other inputs which is weird but eh. The menu is really nice to have as, at least in my experience, consoles just look very dark, so i always have to up the brightness, but only when playing a game on a console because on the VGA signal it doesn't give any issues. Maybe that's because mine runs off of a 1A phone charger. I should have the exact same as you have even though mine came from aliexpress, but it has everything exactly the same, even the blue light through the sticker. But mine came with a USB cable to power it and it runs just as well off a USB port from my laptop as it does on the phone charger. It also doesn't seem to care about what console you use. I use mine with an N64, a gamecube and a PS2 and it all runs the same. Also no noticeable input lag added to it so that's cool too. And it supports some pretty decent resolutions at 60 and 75hz if you want. Only thing is audio. It does not support audio so you'd have to find a way to route the audio somewhere. Seeing that you use 1 cable to the rca input i don't know how you'd do that, where i live there's always 3. The red, white and yellow, where yellow is the video signal and red and white are right and left audio respectively. You can just route those 2 cables to any rca input on any audio device that has those as inputs so there's no problem there really. I have mine routed through an audio interface. Overall it's a really cool thing and works very well actually :3 But i'm still wondering why yours came with a 2A adapter whereas mine just came with a USB to whatever that round plug is cable.

Depending on the board revision, a better option might be to rgb mod the n64 and convert from rgb to component, that will give better video quality and rgb mods for early n64 revisions are cheap and easy to rgb mod, although later versions are only compatible with more feature rich mods that do a lot of cool stuff to improve video quality but cost more and are harder to install. edit: that or rgb mod the n64 and use hd retrovison cables, which appear to include the conversion because they work with rgb modded n64s and NESes (assuming you use a SNES style multi out for the NES RGB mod).

[@valerie_screws_around]

What kind of usb are you using that can only transmit 500ma???? My phone charger has 4 amps over usb 🤔

[@BassCossack1]

tech, usb 2.0 is more or less 1A, so parallel usb like what they do to hdd enclosures MIGHT (not sure) work...?

9:22 *Correction: 576p

[@dever4369]

480i in NTSC countries, 576i in PAL countries. Not 576p because analog video is interlaced.

3:25 Me, watching your video on exactly same monitor: It`s old but still good

[@bobdljr]

I actually use one of these to play GC/PS2/PS1/N64 on a old monitor of mine and it does the job (on S-video only, normal RCA sucks bad) I also bought a female RCA Audio to P2 and put the audio in a soundbox. Works like a charm!

[@Wieprzek]

Hey mind telling me your setup for GC? The adapter, cables etc. Thanks!

[@bobdljr]

@@Wieprzek Sure! The setup is pretty much the same for the other games. For the GC I use: - S-Video cable (Black connector with two audio male RCA) - Female RCA Audio to P2 - Female To Female P2 connector - P2 soundbox - The adapter box in this video - VGA Cable - LCD Monitor Basically, I connect the S-Video on the Adapter box, Put the adapter on the monitor via VGA and connect the audio cables to the Female RCA audio to P2, Then I connect it to the Female to female P2 Connector and on the other side I use the P2 Soundbox. It's a little confusing, but if you wants some pics, send me a PM.

[@Wieprzek]

Roberto Langer Do you think the quality will be much worse if i dont have an S-Video cable? I have the RCA only cable, and on ebay i can only find S-video+RCA (4 cables) and people in reviews complain that having two video cables makes noise

[@bobdljr]

@@Wieprzek Yes. Image will be heavily affected if you use the RCA video connector. S-Video is incredible better than RCA. You can't even read some letters if you are using the RCA. I use a 4 cables RCA for my PS2 and I don't hear a single noise, but if that's the problem, you can use a insulating tape on the connector you aren't going to use.

[@Wieprzek]

@@bobdljr I really appreciate the info. Good luck in your life!

I'm trying to make it work for NES, but you didn't exactly show how you hooked it up. If you're still on here, think you can give some steps?

[@ruinfox4108]

dont expect a reply, he doesnt read comments.

[@Valientlink]

@@ruinfox4108 That's too bad, because I don't get sound and followed all of his steps. Tried several monitors, nothing. Kinda shitty to be a KZbinr and not reply to comments though... oh well. I have chronic tinnitus/hyperacusis and the whine from a CRT TV is horrible, but I'm a speedrunner contending for Friday the 13th WR. I could never do long sessions though because the static and squealing is so bad that it physically hurts my ears and spikes my T like crazy. Although I would've got record if I didn't get bad RNG at the end my goal was lower. The amount of RNG in that run is immense, so it would take a lot more grinding. Also wanted to return to ocarina of time, was one of the best and obviously a more enjoyable game to speedrun given you get to generally use your skills more and it's not some shitty NES game. I'm using LCD monitors and there is no input delay on anything, but there's no sound. Tried speakers, headphone jack, nothing. The reason I don't use an LCD TV is because there is input delay bad on all the old consoles, and you can't have that in games like this. It's why most people who speedrun use CRTs.

[@dragnar1147]

You got an excellent one. I have a similar one, but it doesn't has that fancy menu, you have to cycle each option with a button, really a bummer. Will try to buy the one you got and check differences, maybe it's only the Firmware.

[@morningglory10]

2:44 I actually have one that looks identical to this and it's branded as StarTech. It's complete crap though, the output is blurry and off center. Might have to try it again though, maybe it was the screen ratio that was messing it up?
