Scart splits the sync. IMO, should have just went with the Scart to HDMI adapter. For the same price.

My bad, I was thinking the multiout split the csync into hsync and vsync. which wouldnt have worked with that GBS

Looks cool to me, sometimes the process is the most fun part. btw...that Krang body figure in the glass is awesome...does it still have the plastic window and the fork on the head too??? Most of those I see are missing both those parts!
broken: hellz yea its ghetto, to the max! Like all my mods no power tools what-so-ever used in its creation. I even removed the screws from the SNES with the melted bic pen trick because fuck fancy bits.
Pasky: I'd love a XRGB mini (HDMI output), but it will be a cold day in hell before I pony up 300$+ for any scaler. This was 29.99$ with free shipping, I think of that as a win.
mr_b: I don't like the idea of SCART cables, this isn't Euro bro we don't use that shit here... 15pin dsub-4-life, America fuck yea!
masamuneGTO: Yup it lags for sure, its hard to know how much is from the scaler and how much if from the display. When I do the auto calibration in Rockband on this TV (LG 47") it reports that my lag is 57ms. Likely alittle from both, but its still better than BSNES on my i7 3770k running at 4.0ghz... and thats just sad.
ahcmetal: Thanks man, I've got a better shot of him here...
I have the glass belly door, but I removed it because it turned this yellowish cloudy tint/color with age.
This won't fit inside the case, so it sits ontop...

Now you're playing with power... Ghetto Power!
Everything but the controller port board and my homemade on/off switch/power board is mounted on PCB feet and screwed down. Its not a cutting board, thos are too hard and would require pre-drilling first... Remember no power tools of any kind can be used, thats ghetto mod rule #1. Its actually just a slab of scrap pine, very soft so screws could be hand driven into it with minor effort.
I'm happy with it, as now I have a large screen (47" vs 14") for SNES games with friends. I will pick up another SNES for the 14" PVM, this time I'm going for a mini as they give slightly better video.
Someday at home large scale 3d printing will be a thing, at that point designing and producing repo consoles shells will solve current homemade solutions.

How could you play anything with that much lag. Gotta be an awful experience no matter how you slice it.

I thought upscaling is fake, it just makes it look like it's high resolution. But you can't get any more pixels than what was originally programmed in the game.
Joe8: its not about the resolution... This LCD only accepts HDMI/component/VGA connections in 31hz. I'm tapping the RGBs from the board (which is 320x240@15khz) and scaling/converting it to 640x480@31hz VGA. The resolution is simply doubled, so of course no more detail is created or enhanced.

Isn't the SNES better with scan lines? Aren't there ways of converting it to 31khz, but keeping the low res (320x240p)?

Too bad this converter sucks terribly, especially without a scan line generator. I cringed at all the artifacts. My HDTV handles 240p signals better than these turds do. I tried one of these things with my SNES about a month ago, the amount of artifacts from it processing 240p as 480i were horrendous.
What I don't understand is why set it up like this and not just build the encoder board into a project box or its own separate board. Why bastardize a 1-Chip by removing it from its shell? If it is a matter of not having a shell for it there are thousands of broken SNES consoles out there that you can use to restore this much rarer system revision.
