Good Retro console upscaler?
Good Retro console upscaler?
I have recently gotten a hold of some classics again and wanted to look into getting a bit of a better image quality (currently i only have a simple hdmi adapter for them).
Looking into upscalers they seem, very very pricey?
Is that the norm around these parts?
I am not looking for ultra 4k hd fancy stuff, just getting thigns to be a bit sharper and more pleasent to look at.
But stuff like retrotink 5x pro are just as much and more some of these consoles.
Is retrotink the next option for price?
It would only be for for a ps2 and a wii

For ps2, you want a retrotink, ps2 and ps1 have resolution switching mid game which is fine for crt tvs, it doesn't work well with hdmi causing a drop out on resolution change, for 3-4 seconds each time. The retrotink is one of the few that can buffer the video so it keeps a steady 1080p signal through hdmi.
I have a 5x pro and it's an amazing device. Upgraded from an ossc because of the above issues on my ps1 and ps2 games.
oh wow a little over 300 euro for the 5x pro, thats..still feels like a lot for the little i actually like it for (the 2 mentioned consoles)
Unfortunately its the down side of trying to upscale a PS1 or PS2, its fine with a cheaper one, for example you could get a retrotink 2x or something else and use that to convert to HDMI, it won't be as clean as the 5x and you would still have the issues with games that switch resolutions causing the HDMI signal to drop for 3-4 seconds, but it would work. I just know from experience how annoying it is when I want to play one of those games, so for me it was worth it, and it was a lot cheaper when I bought mine...
