Got it working, check your source system settings
Got this working with the Nintendo Wii! It took some time to figure out but happy with the results. The sound is perfect and the video is decent. I almost returned this as the video was black and white, split and duplicated on my TV. Tried pressing all the button combinations on the RetroScaler2x but couldn't get it working properly. I went into the Wii screen resolution settings and changed the output from 480p to 480i, instant success. There's no lag on the video or audio but haven't tried any intensive games, just Wii Sports. For reference, my video is being output to an LG 4k OLED TV with no issues. The HDMI cord is running through a Pioneer Elite receiver, then to the TV, also no issues. So far, really happy with this product. Some reviewers said to do a Firmware update but I could not find any instructions for doing this. Went to the manufacturer website as well as their GitHub support page but no luck. A commenter said they stopped providing Firmware updates because it was bricking some devices. I'll keep an eye on whether this changes and update my review of I see something. Attached are the before and after pictures of the resolution change. Going to keep testing other consoles to see if there are any limitations for this device.

It works great!
My ps2 looked like doodoo on my 4k TV before. I bought component cables and the retroscaler2x and it looks like I remember now! I love it! A Lil expensive compared to a basic hdmi converter but it's definitely not the same thing! It went from unplayable to 480i or whatever it was when I was a kid lol

Update the official firmware and reset defaults and it works great!
Ordered these while trying to streamline my retro gaming setup. I ordered one for an SNES and one for an N64. When I initially received them I was convinced they were broken. Turning on the console sent a signal maybe 1/10 times and there was around a 30 second delay IF it would even show anything. After going to the manufacturer website and downloading the firmware tool and updating to the 0.8.4 firmware these actually work really well! There is about a 2-4 second startup delay after the console powers on, but they reliably work and I can completely live with this. I previously had been switching consoles using a Retro Scaler 2X which worked great, but was hoping to be able to do less cable juggling and switching by adding some additional scalers into the mix. I think the Retro Scaler 2X is also maybe by Bitfunx. The picture quality with the S-Video + 2X + Smoothing looks basically identical to the Retro Scaler, except now I have slightly less of an octopus setup connected to the TV. The pictures are very clear, without color striping. The edges are crisp but not harsh. It looks as you would hope from a 480p output of a really old console, and is miles better than using component or S-video cables directly. Highly recommend this, but definitely make sure you update the firmware and reset the defaults!!! I don't know why they arrived in such a strange state, but both I received worked very poorly before the firmware update, so I think this is a manufacturing thing.

Great until it’s not
This product works great when it actually works. I bought one and it broke within the return window. The replacement worked for about 3 months before breaking. Very disappointed.

Didnt work for ps1 360p
Couldn't upscale 360p ps1 video properly. Ended up black and white, couldn't handle the signal. It locked out or something. Will need to look for something else. It did work for ps2, but, not what I wanted. For ps2, negligible difference, but still able to go to hdmi.

A Solid Investment Into Your Retro Gaming Space!
I’ve always been a console gamer and have never used any type of upscaler or line doubler but this product is great! I set it up for my Nintendo 64 and played through Super Mario 64 and loved it! It doubles the quality from 240p to 480p. I understand that others may like to play older games at higher resolution, yet for me, I like the older look of the game. It feels like it captures a moment in time that reminds me of when I played through it when I was a kid. A great investment if you are interested in keeping the retro look in your gaming space. It is a a very straightforward setup as well.

Better than expected
Works even better than expected, when using cheaper av to hdmi converters the color is always washed out, but the color looks fantastic. N64 games look really nice with the smoothing option. Easy plug and play, easy to switch from av to s video to component inputs.

Un adaptador que merece tu N64
El producto es muy bueno, cumple a ala perfección con su trabajo y los distintos filtros y antialias pueden ser útiles para las teles modernas. La única pega que le veo es que se calienta un poco. Fuera de eso, una maravilla!

Kann ich nur empfehlen
Benutze den Scaler auf meinem LG 86UM7600PLB Fernseher für meinen Super Nintendo (SNES). Bis auf den Scaler ist alles original (rgb kabel vom Snes + normales HDMI Kabel). Hatte mir vorher einen günstigen Scaler von Auvisio gekauft. Das resultat war leicht verpixelt aber ertragbar. Was mich mehr gestört hat war dass das Bild beim bewegen im Spiel geruckelt hat. Auf älteren TV's war dies besser aber immer noch vorhanden was echt nervig ist. Diesen hier kann ich (als Laie) wirklich nur empfehlen. Zumal man noch weitere feineinstellungen vornehmen kann. Anbei zwei Bilder von diesem Scaler und von der günstigeren Variante.

Works great out of the box
Works great, couldn’t use my n64 as my new tv didn’t have any a/v inputs. Coupled this with an s video cable also from Amazon and it works now. Video quality is decent as well - there are better options albeit at a much higher cost than this. Recommended
