I've tried a ton of options to get my ps2 to look good on my modern TV. My journey ended with this purchase. If you want your retro consoles to not look dark and muddy on your new tv and you don't want to break the bank, then give this a try. You won't be disappointed!

I'm really impressed with this product. I recently bought a PS1 and a PS2, tried them with a simple HDMI converter, but was not really impressed with the picture quality. After some online digging I learned about OSSC and this one was in my price range. I have no game mode on this particular TV (Sony, about 8yrs old, around 40"), but I set it to 4:3 and with the OSSC the picture is great and I don't find any eye strain while playing. It's easy to set up and doesn't feel flimsy or cheap. My only criticism is the remote, which has way more buttons than necessary! But this is a minor issue compared to the function of the item.

If you have compatible hardware it's really a nice piece of tech. It also pairs nicely with an mclassic in some cases. Highly recommend!

Really good for the price, but there is no Composite and Y/C input.And most importantly, it actually works, unlike several other cheaper devices.

so the ossc has been around for some time and it had its place and time but things change and so should the quality of the product.the ossc:when taking it a part to add the add on bored to the stack the lcd is stuck on by tape and when prying it off is broke the solder joints on the bottom. still works but kinda a poor design. i would recommend redesigning it or sell a package deal with the add on board attached. the yellow buttons look out of place too. looks like the add on board is newer there for the lcd is better mounted and lights up. looks like the add on board can be used by itself? but dose not come with an ac adapter. so at $275 there still some flaws with is. the add on bored scart connector dose not have another peace of plastic to keep it from wobbling

Really great. I'm not sure if the build quality is the same as the Kaico one or the one from VGP, but this one is really good! Does the job and at a fraction of the price from the Kaico one.

Works fine as expected. Lots of setting, so you can tune output signal whatever way you want

This device works correctly and has some great features:1. The yellow button covers look and feel great.2. The micro SD card slot actually clicks when inserting an SD Card (for firmware update)3. The cutout underneath to switch audio is a better idea than reaching inside to hit the switchI am happy with this device. I am using it on my 286, 386 and 486 computers and every game that I have run so far looks great on my 4K TV.You must be very careful with the LCD screen, and especially if you are inserting it into a plastic enclosure: I already destroyed one of these (from another vendor) because the LCD screen broke off and at that point the whole device stopped working.

This Device is absolutely great you just need to make sure you get a RGB scart for the absolute best picture quality. be careful because some scart cables are not wired for RGB looks great for the PS1 also great for the super Nintendo. Fortunately, the N64 requires a mod for RGB for RGB scart.

Plugged the unit into my Saturn, followed instructions, and looks great out of the box. Will look even better after some tweaking/installing latest firmware. Build quality feels good overall. Was initially concerned about the logo being “upside down” in relation to the lcd display, but since the unit sits “sideways” after plugging everything in, I think that orientation works.

This item is one version of the OSSC, and turns out it is not case-compatible with the official one, having several different components populated on the board, so it will not fit in the normal OSSC cases.It is not at all confidence-inspiring that the manufacturer here deviated from the official board layout and component selection. The PSU is extremely cheap, and some things are just incorrect.Some of the components I noticed were different are:- the screen: The height of the screen is quite a bit lower than what's shown in pictures of the official OSSC, and on closer examination, it appears the screen was soldered to the wrong side of the board because of layout issues.- the buttons: the buttons here have yellow nubs on top, but the official one has low profile tactile buttons. This is another point where 3D printed cases made for this (such as those sold by Laser Bear) will interfere with this OSSC, preventing the case from closing.- The audio select switch: the switch is mounted to the bottom of the PCB instead of the top. There appear to be traces for the switch on the top of the PCB, but it's not clear why they were mounted to the bottom of the board. Again, this is an issue because cases will have allowance for this switch, and expect the switch to be located on the top of the PCB.Given that these components were swapped or moved, I can't be certain about the rest of the component choices, and given how cheap the power supply is, I'm not confident at all that the manufacturers here prioritized quality over price in any way whatsoever.

After buying the OSSC converter I have been playing through my entire library if PS2; WiI, Xbox and Gamecube. You must get the SCART cable to really see how much this can do. I absolutely love love love this product. I have been enjoying it every day. To see how good many (not all) games really look is astounding. Some games that were badly made, no graphics will make them a better game. Games that were higher production quality to begin with shine! I can’t believe I waited so long. Don’t hesitate if you’re thinking of making this purchase. Just don’t forget to get the SCART cable, and set youPS2 to RGB in the setting. It takes a little playing around to discover how to manipulate the image, but once you get it. Boom! Games like Shinobi, Nightshade, Drakkengard, Pokemon Coleseum get new life.
