OSSC & Framemeister experiences

[jamie666]

Im in the UK and have a OSSC. Make sure all your consoles are able to output RGB as well as 60Hz for the best picture quality. The device is amazing and well worth the money. When a game is running in 5x mode it looks absolutely stunning.

I won't lie tho I still prefer to use my crt for my retro gaming but the OSSC is the perfect device for when I want to bring out the odd console and run it on my 50" plasma in the main room.

The RetroTINK-2X looks like an interesting alternative/complement to the OSSC. It will convert a composite, S-Video or component signal to HDMI, and do 240p/480i/288p/576i passthrough with 150 microseconds of lag. Not bad.

Apparently Matt from VideoGamePerfection is working on bringing a batch of these to market. I'd love to snap up one so I could finally ditch my FM, which I'm only keeping around for connecting my C64 to my plasma TV.

I wasn't aware of that, sounds like a good potential option for composite and s-video. I'll have to keep an eye on the development.

This Gaston Faggot loves his Raspberry Pi. He's always 1up'ing it in other threads. Don't know why he's interested in the OSSC or Framemeister.

My thoughts exactly.

Ow, did I hurt your delicate feelings? The pi is awesome, but it doesn't mean we're going out exclusively. Faggits.

Oh wow, I didn't know about that RetroTink either. Looks like a great option for those devices still stuck in composite or svideo.

An update on the RetroTINK-2X:

RetroTINK-2X is ready for pre-order! I'm starting an initial pilot run of 50 units. Since the initial quantity is very low, the price will be a bit higher at $110 plus S/H. It'll be a nice, complete assembled kit with a plexiglass enclosure. I'll follow up with a pre-order link on the website soon. It should be shipping in about 5-6 weeks, which is how long it takes for my PCB vendor in China to fab the boards. For those of you that can wait longer, a larger production run will be coming in the next months. I'll probably work with distributors rather than selling the devices myself. The price point should be a bit lower by then.

The pre-order link is active right now:
