(The game already looks amazing so it's not that bad that it didn't get a remake) it kinda sucks for the Super Mario Galaxy 2 fans, since it's still only playable on a Wii or Wii U, and the only way to make it look nicer is either use Emulation, or use an mClassic with a Wii U.

    This thing is pretty amazing, Skyward Sword really looked much cleaner and easier on the eyes, I definitely will be buying one of these fo shizzle. One of the great ways this tech could be used is in laptops, getting a decent serving of AA, decent upscaling, overall improved visual fidelity for no performance penalty would be ideal for a gaming laptop, they could even licence the tech to T.V and monitor manufactures. Maybe even Nintendo could implement it into the next Switch somehow, both in portable mode and docked mode, you could really use this tech to great effect with something like the Switch or any console for that matter.

  • @KjeldvanKeulen
    @KjeldvanKeulen 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    I understand that you can only use the cables you have. But with a higher quality cable, you will get a better image for the mcable to process. Right now it just processes blurry unsharp images. SNES games via a scart cable will look much better than the composite you used and will also give a much better result.
    Perhaps this video is meant more for a general retro game fan who does not have all this equipment. But if you own a retrotink and this mcable, then you're already in the price range of an OSSC so you might as well go further.
    On the other hand, when you show of the gamecube stuff, then the video gets interesting. Then it actually gives the mcable a high quality signal to work with and shows of it's true potential.

      IMO, the best way to play the PS2 is on a CRT. Most games were just designed to play on that type of display. I recommend My Life In Gaming's video "how to get the best picture from your PS2" if you want to know more.

    • @justanotheryoutubechannel
      @justanotheryoutubechannel 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Doom Guy PS2 will always be best played on a CRT, as most games support 480i maximum. Some support 480p, but 480p never looks that good as it has to be scaled unless you are using a 480p native TV. 480p is really annoying as 480p LCD’s don’t really exist anymore, meaning you’ll need to use a pretty old LCD, which unfortunately means you’ll have pretty poor black levels. A 480p CRT won’t have to scale and will have perfect black levels, but they can’t handle 480i properly, meaning you’ll need another giant CRT for 480i, wasting more space than a 480p LCD.

    I got one and use it with my Wii, Wii U and Xbox 360 via an HDMI splitter. While it’s a pretty subtle change, it does help with making the image sharper and smoothing out some jagged pixels on the screen. My Wii benefits from it the most since the M-Classic upscales it to HD-like graphics. I don’t recognize any latency issues or lag either.

      Both should work but it depends on the resolution and the console, some OSSC formats (e.g. 960p or 720p SNES) can be weird and might not work with the cable or your TV, but more normal consoles like Saturn and PS1 or N64 will work just fine I think. If the higher resolutions are less compatible, you can always try 480p mode as that should be compatible for almost any TV.

    Just ordered one for my Wii U. Really hoping this solves the poor image quality on Wii games played on backward compatibility. I've always said that decent anti aliasing would go a long long way to making the Wii gaming experience more pleasant. As it is, it's pretty horrific.
    I've always wondered why I find the Original Xbox good but not the Wii, and as this shows, it's the lack of the post processing on the Wii. The Wii has to be Nintendo at their laziest.

      But yeah, on every console I've tried, the Wii U /Wii is the only one it make significant difference. Well worth it. I have a huge collection of Wii games anyway.
      Doesn't work on the PS2, because the graphics are too muddy, it can't detect a thing. Original Xbox doesn't really need it, and it even doesn't help the Game Cube much, not sure why. But it works amazingly well for Wii games on the Wii U. And Wii games needs it the most anyway imo.

    Great review. Video nerd note: you could probably use its full processing mode and then tell your display that it's a 4:3 signal! My projector has 3 aspect modes, Full, 16/9, and 4/3, as well as Auto. So when I'm using a GCHD, I can force 4/3. That same behavior will work on this adapter's output, but only in full processing mode.
    That retro mode seems broken for more than one reason. Let's say that for example you're watching 4:3 HD content, like some older cartoons on Amazon or Blu-Ray, the recent Batman remaster, or some Disney cartoons, whatever. The video output is still 1920x1080, 16/9, with a centered 1440x1080 4/3 image. English: The black bars are part of the image itself. 720x480 SD digital video should have an aspect flag. Should, lol. I know the GCHD gives you a fair bit of control for aspect settings. It's unfortunate that if those flags are properly set, that the mClassic is ignoring them, but like you said, the real crime is that it's not forcing the input to be recognized with non-square pixels in retro mode. Perhaps they wanted to focus on SD output, and not necessarily 4:3 output, and someone missed a memo. If it isn't doing any different processing, they'd be better served just making it an aspect ratio switch. And of course, on a lot of TVs you can still force 4:3 yourself, although you're doing that after it takes non-square pixels, makes them even wider, and then you manually squish them back down - it will only look as good as your TV's scaler.

    • @jordanmillraney5481
      @jordanmillraney5481 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      For the Hyperkin, you’d need an HDMI coupler since the Hyperkin has a male HDMI output and the mClassic has a male HDMI input. For me, I used a Wii Component cable and a Component to HDMI converter which takes the analog component signal and transfers it to HDMI. Then, the mClassic is attached to it for 1080p upscaling, video smoothing, and color enhancement. This isn’t really necessary. Some people have it hooked up to Wii2HDMI adapters which is not ideal since they suffer problems overtime such as picture noise, no audio, wrong colors, etc.

      It is exactly the same as those filters. This is just a stick with a few upscaling filters built in. For pixel based games, you get a smear effect, but for polygon based games it's not like anti aliasing. OSSC can still benefit from an upscaling filter for these games, though of course that's a matter of opinion.

    ah good, i forgot i was waiting for this video. i saw your post E3 video like a day before heading to Retro Game Fest in Austin, Texas and i got to looking forward to this little device. all in all it seems a far better use of it would be for Wii/Gamecube stuff as it shows far better there(wait, when was there ever an hdmi cable/adapter for the wii?).
    actually Hyperkin was at the Con with an N64 hdmi adapter that just came out and it was kind of funny. in the example of Mario 64 i was shown it can either try to give you a more pixel perfect-like look or smooth it out. the smoothed edges just made Mario's body look all wiggly when standing around. i think that was due to the edges only being covered as opposed to being blurred(thats the best way i can think to describe).
    long story short there, as far as i have seen, the N64 UltraHDMI mod is far nicer looking and the more i see nothing compares to it yet the more im glad i got it 6 months ago. maybe this thing could make it look nicer?
    even then i believe the whole ai upscale thing, cuz ive messed with a good quality free one recently a month ago and ive been seeing a very familiar "paint stroke like" style to the images it modifies. i first heard of this application for the FF9 fan mod to make its backgrounds look better since the originals were lost, now that ive seen the mod in action ive been seeing that familiar style.
    when you were showing Mario 64 zoom ins i noticed it a bit on his face, i myself will give this a pass for now until an improved version comes out.
    it already takes an amount of work for the ai to redraw one image depending on the size and resolution, but this is it on the fly and it seems to be of slightly less quality. although i guess it'd be better to see it in person, but that'd be VERY hard to do right now.
    yes you put the differences in the video, sadly some quality is always lost during the upload.

After all, there's no such thing as a 1440p TV and the standard is 4K. Another thing I'd like to see Marseille implement into their next version would be a frame interpolation feature.
