Framemeister XRGB-Mini

Absolutely worth the money. Amazing upscaling with no perceivable lag, and tons of customization options. Yes this is more expensive than the el cheapo upscalers, but it's about the same price as what a good PVM goes for nowadays. I have been playing my old game systems on RGB monitors for years. I used to really worry about what I was going to do when my monitors died off, especially considering how much the price of a Sony PVM has risen in the last couple of years. Running your systems through a Framemeister with the scanlines turned on really does a great job of replicating the RGB monitor experience. I am going to continue to use my monitors as long as I have them, but I am no longer worried about what I am going to do when the monitors die. This coupled with an Elgato Game Capture HD or HD 60 is also an excellent way to record gameplay footage for YouTube at the highest possible quality. That's mainly what I use it for.

Does absolutely wonderful and what it's supposed to do. Although pricey, if you're serious about getting the best possible image out of your old systems via RGB Scart, then this is for you. Only downside is that it does NOT come with the proper RGB scart adapter, it comes with a JP21 adapter. If you have EUROSCART, it will not be compatible. Just take note and buy the proper adapter. Also you will need to do some calibration and setup if you're really picky on how the image looks. One last thing, the menu and controller is in Japanese... so get the proper firmware to convert the framemeister menu to English (plenty of tutorials online, very easy) with the controller, there are overlays that you can buy... or you can just look up the controller online in English. Other than that... it may seem like a lot but it really isn't. Worth every penny

What's not to love? It takes your older consoles and upscales them to play on your newer LCD TV's. It is basically a CRT TV in a box. Please note that while the device is great and add value to your older retro consoles, it still has some investments that need to be made after you buy it. 1. You will need to update the firmware with the english version found here: [...]2. On top of that this unit comes with a JP21 cable to go into the RGB port in the front. This is remedied by ordering an adapter from here: You must buy this accessory if you do not have Japanese consoles. This for systems like the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive, SNES, Sega Saturn, and Dreamcast. This includes RGB Scart which was not used here in the US, but was prevalent in the UK. Some consoles like the SNES don't play well with RGB Scart and might need to be modded to accommodate it.They also sell the RGB scart cables if you cannot find them on Amazon. 3. It has D-Terminal connection that was used in Japan, but no component cable input. There is a D-Terminal to Component adapter found here: [...] Regardless of these issues it has been the best sleepy purchase I have made on this site.

A little pricy (paid $341), but I picked up one of these to use with my childhood NES, SNES, and N64. I didn't want to mod my consoles so am just using an RCA connection for the NES, and I imported 2 Nintendo brand Gamecube S-video cables from Japan for the SNES, and N64. For me it was well worth it to eliminate input lag while gaming on these consoles. Out of the box it was easy to set up after a firmware update, and making a couple adjustments to the settings as recommended by My Life in Gaming over on YouTube. It has a lot of options in the settings to mess around with if you like tweaking the video quality, or experimenting. If you don't have a CRT TV (or extra room for one like me), and want to get an optimal picture while eliminating input lag I'd recommend getting one of these. **Update 2/21/17** Micomsoft is discontinuing this product due to the chipset for it no longer being manufactured. You can get on a back order list at Solarisejapan.com to get one for MSRP instead of paying a reseller some insane price. Rumors are there will likely be a successor, but it may not be out for some time.

I'm not a big enough aficionado of games, it seems, to appreciate this. A $20 part made my games look almost as good as this $383 piece. I thought this would make my games look superb, but instead they're just OK. There are lots of modes and such (all in Japanese), but nothing seems to make the games look like I'd hoped.Instead I choose whether I want scan lines or not, and whether I want a stretched image or not. If you aren't someone who notices the spacing between lines and minute details like that, go for something cheaper. Or get a CRT TV.

If you are a vintage gamer then you categorically need this special piece of equipment. The Framemeister is simply amazing, and works perfectly in my experience. So far I have tested the following systems and computers; a slim PS2 (using official PS3 component video cable), Super Famicom and Sega CDX (using SCART to RGB), an Atari XE and Commodore 64 (using S-Video). SCART to RGB requires a cable adapter, as does the component video cable, which needs a Japanese D-Terminal connection. This is a Japanese product, but the BIOS can be flashed to English, and you can find an English overlay sticker for the remote control. If you have multiple RGB connections (8 pin mini-DIN) there is a serial port switch box available. This product allows three incoming connections and will save you swapping cables. The Apple Macintosh uses this same connection, search here; applerescueofdenver.com

While the device works fine, certain SNES games (Super Mario RPG and Yoshi's Island) have sync issues. I troubleshooted the issue down to the device and would like to return it but my return window has expired.

Having some problems with PS1 on PS2 games, like Silent Hill, but everything else is great!

The perfect gadget for people with multiple consoles accepts the majority of "old school" wires. No SCART port though you can use an adaptor.

Magnífico producto, tardó un poco en llegar pero todo bien. Sobre el producto sobra decir que hace un gran trabajo escalando consolas viejas. (Señales 240p)

Awesome!! Upgraded visuals from retro video games to a large 4K flat screen!! In depth options to fine tune your game experience. Highly recommended. Very expensive unless you want the slightly cheaper OSSC.

Truly worth the money. Purchased for use in the US, and I have it set up perfectly with JP21 SCART cables. Now my retro games look incredible with almost no lag!
