Is the $200 Morph 2K the retro upscaler we’ve been waiting for? With 1080p and 1440p output, ultra-low latency, motion-adaptive deinterlacing, CRT filters, WiFi updates, and lossless color processing, it packs a ton of features into an affordable package. But does it actually deliver? I put it to the test in my full review.

I try really hard to see the differences and understand why these three mClassic products exist. They do some cool upscaling and anti-aliasing but then the new modes are bizarre and inconsistent. Often I just don’t see the point. https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/mclassic-rgb-collection#/
Review of the FIXED version of the EON XBHD HDMI adapter for the original Xbox. This will connect to your modern television, but it also adds a bunch of features most people probably don’t need at a very high price. In the video I also compare it to cheaper HDMI options like the Hyperkin cables and the excellent XBOX2HDMI adapter.

The original Xbox, released by Microsoft in 2001, was a groundbreaking console that left an indelible mark on the gaming industry. One of its key strengths was its powerful hardware. Sporting an Intel Pentium III processor and an NVIDIA GPU, the Xbox was a technological powerhouse for its time, surpassing the capabilities of its competitors. This allowed for impressive graphics and smoother gameplay experiences, setting a new standard for console gaming.
Moreover, the original Xbox introduced the concept of Xbox Live, a revolutionary online gaming service. This marked a significant shift in multiplayer gaming, enabling players to connect with others around the world seamlessly. Xbox Live not only facilitated competitive gaming but also laid the foundation for the online gaming communities that thrive today. The console’s diverse library of games, including iconic titles like Halo: Combat Evolved, contributed to its success and solidified its place in gaming history. The original Xbox’s combination of cutting-edge hardware, innovative online capabilities, and a compelling game lineup established it as a formidable player in the console market, earning it a lasting legacy among gaming enthusiasts.
Here’s a shootout of a bunch of HDMI splitters, switches and audio extractors I’ve been using. They’re all zero-lag devices (even in downscaling modes!) and appear to work well with retro gaming devices, including the OSSC. The first “reviews” are the longest, as they explain everything you need to know about these devices, then the rest reference those.
In this video I compare PlayStation VITA games running on the PlayStation TV with and without the mClassic and the results are surprising! This is a pretty cool option for people who want to play Vita games on their big HDTV with a better resolution and some graphic enhancements.
