Review: The Retro Gamer's Dream (If You Love to Tinker) - The Kaico OSSC is a fascinating piece of hardware designed for a very specific audience: retro gaming enthusiasts who crave the absolute best possible picture quality on modern displays. It largely delivers on that promise, but it's crucial to understand what you're getting into. First, the build quality is commendable. The unit itself feels well-built and substantial, and the switches are incredibly satisfying to operate, providing a tactile confirmation that speaks to its premium construction. I have, however, encountered a minor issue with the included power cable, which has occasionally played up, causing the device to momentarily lose power. This is a small frustration for an otherwise solid piece of hardware. When it comes to performance, the OSSC truly makes your retro games look as good as they ever have on an LCD or OLED screen. It eliminates the muddy, blurry mess you often get from generic adapters, providing a crisp, vibrant, and accurate picture that honours the original console output. However, and this is a big caveat, this device is absolutely for those who enjoy tinkering and are comfortable with a bit of trial and error. If you're expecting a true "plug and play" solution, this isn't it. For users not willing to dive into settings and experiment, a simpler, generic HDMI adapter would likely be a less frustrating option. But for those who relish the deep configuration, the OSSC shines. It allows you to convert older console signals (via RGB SCART, Component, VGA, etc.) into a modern HDMI signal with minimal lag, which is critical for classic gaming. The included remote makes configuration surprisingly easy, offering granular control over various aspects of the video signal. Once everything is meticulously set up for your specific console and display combination, it transforms into a brilliant little device that consistently delivers stunning results. With inputs, outputs, and power, the OSSC can quickly turn your entertainment setup into a bit of a spaghetti junction. It's definitely something to consider if you prioritize cable management. Overall: The Kaico Edition OSSC is a brilliant device if you're willing to invest the time to learn and tinker to get the most out of it, and if you genuinely care about achieving the best possible quality from your classic consoles. It's a niche product for a reason – it caters to enthusiasts. It's not for those who find tinkering a hassle and just want an "anyway to play" solution on a modern screen. But for the dedicated retro gamer seeking pixel-perfect output and minimal lag, this device is a fantastic, if slightly demanding, investment. It's unique in its capabilities at this price point and truly enhances the retro gaming experience.
Review: I’ve been waiting for something like this for a long time - This is a fantastic piece of kit which I bought in the hope to replace and old Sony DVD HDD which I was using to upscale an input fro SCART to HDMI out at 1080p then then onto a 4K TV. Also I wanted to let go of my my old Commodore and Amstrad CRT monitors however I a not sure I can bring myself to let for of these. The other reason for this was portability. The first thing to mention was the quality of the product and packaging which sees some great effort made to give a quality feel. The build is solid and I do not feel as through anything will break or come loose. A manual is included and it’s easy enough to use more or less out of the box. There are a lot of functions to adjust however and these understanding behind many of these will require research unless this already your thing but I have been successful with just the basics. If you are buying for a specific computer or console, it would be worth looking for some vids online to check there are no device restrictions, for example the Commodore 64 doesn’t actually output a signal in a similar way to other devices and at this early stage I do not know if I hardware mod on the 64 or an additional component might be required. Additionally, I’ve ordered another cable for my SNES which I believe with both of these machines is related to sync? That’s a new subject for me to learn. OVERALL, this is the best product I could have possibly bought anywhere near this price. There are no lag issues, bizarre artefacts on screen for what i have tested and for the time being I am using this in a HP 27FWA Monitor and images are crisp. The audio out function is handy to plug into an amp as the sound is poop on a monitor of this size although I think a Bluetooth audio transmission would be fab provided it didn’t introduce interference. There are some great vids worth watching that explain in more detail different screen issues not uncommon when upscaling and especially on cheaper devices. Look for a vid by ‘My Life In Gaming”. What I can tell you so far: Sega MegaDrive 2 / MegaCD 2: good image and no lag or screen issues with fast scrolling (Sonic CD) SNES: works well with the sync on luma cable however bit as pin sharp as other consoles which having read more about it’s a bit of an Achilles heal for the OSSC however it’s still very good and not a disappointment. It’s just not pin sharp. No biggie. GameCube: a little fuzzy but still good, the likely issue was my cheap lead Amiga: images above, actually really impressed with the colour and sharpness. Have noticed on Shadow of the Beast there are odd flickers but need to read up about this. Having seen YouTube reviews I have confidence this will be remedied in settings Spectrum +3: Robocop was very clear and sharp CPC464: I just received my TV kit. Fantastic. Works perfect. Now time for some Ninja Scooter Simulator

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Do you have any guides for the best typical setup for a PS2?**
A: It Is hard to achieve decent picture quality with this device. Bob deinterlacing is causing flickering on the screen as it converts 480i signal to progressive 480p/980p.

You may want to try freemcboot mod for ps2 and force it in progressive mod. See YouTube.

Personally - only retrotink.

**Q: Converting ps1 to play on a digital tv what do I need cable and converter wise to accomplish this?**
A: The Kaico OSSC is one of the best things out there at the moment, imo. So grab one of these. Cable-wise I use a high-quality PS1 to scart lead to connect console to OSSC. But make sure it's of high-quality with a genuine RGB signal. Then a HDMI cable from OSSC to the TV. 

Btw, the PS1 composite (red/white/yellow) leads won't work with the OSSC as it doesn't read composite signal.

**Q: I have a snes, mega drive 2 and a n64, ps1, ps2, ps3 are specific cables i need to connect any of these consoles too this? to this?**
A: I can’t answer for all consoles you’ve listed but I believe an N64 needs to be RGB modded and would presumably connect using either RGB SCART or RGB component cables. A PS2 connects using an RGB SCART cable but the PS3 should just connect straight to your TV through HDMI without going through this. There should be plenty of documentation available for your other consoles though if you do a quick search as they are all very common.

**Q: Can i use just a component cable with this? or do you have to use a scart?**
A: It has RGB component inputs (RCA) and VGA. It does not support composite or s-video

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easily the best purchase for retro games at a great price
*by M***D on 10 October 2023*

As a huge fanatic of retro games (mainly megadrive, PS1 and PS2 games), I can easily say that this is easily the best purchase for playing retro games on the big screen without any lag. So long as you have really good quality cables (RGB scart for megadrive and a good quality component cables for ps2 are highly recommended. Just know that you may need to buy the stereo to 3.5mm adaptor to pump the audio from the component input), you will definitely get the best picture quality from your retro consoles. The megadrive looks amazing in when scaled at 5x. The picture looks crisp and razer sharp. PS2 games look great as well and I like how it deinterlaces the PS2 games natively. The OSSC has so many options to play around with the settings. But I must say this: all of what I said will depend on your display. My Philips LED TV runs my games with no problem. Also good quality cables for your consoles is an absolute must! If you want the best way to enjoy retro games on your modern display and don't want to blow a hole in your wallet, the OSSC is an absolute must have!
