15khz option means that it works as downscaler. I have one of these variations called ODV GBS-C AIO, and it also work as downscaler.

Muchas gracias por la reseña. La mayoría de mis consolas tienen la salida por video compuesto porque lo que no me valdría este dispositivo. Terminé por comprarme un Retroscaler 2x, bastante simple, funciona el NES y el Megadrive y casi no se nota el lag.

Are these things even worth if say i want to capture footage from an old school DDR cabinet that switches between 480i and 240p?

Hello, it is an interesting project but I have some questions. In my opinion, the reason for using a scaler is not only to enlarge the image but also to generate an image (on LED TVs) that looks like the one We see on a CRT. I know this scaler can perform some type of scanline simulation. If this simulation is done well it can be interesting (that is, not only adding a black line but correctly simulating the blurring of the "pixels")... BUT, I AM MORE INTERESTED in DITHERING replication. The SEGA Megadrive/Genesis consoles exploited the presence of dithering in their composite video output to achieve transparency effects or an apparent palette expansion. From the same megadrive connector we can extract an RGB signal (scart) that has greater clarity, but loses the dithering, which is taken into account and used to generate visual effects. Does this scaler have a setting that allow us to recreate the dithering?. Using this scaler, do megadrive games look like they do on a CRT? Do we have transparencies and color gradients again?

Do you know if they fixed the problem with the composite cable not working ?

Dear, thanks a lot for the video!!! How can we change to the channel 6? Is this a router or a gbs c setting? I'm facing this problem, too.

Great video!!! What model power supply should I buy for it? I bought from Aliexpress and they did not send me any power supply. Thanks all

Hi. I have one of this. I also had some wi fi problems after i linked it my router. It turns out that when my phone mobile data was turned on, i coudn't access the GBS. So i disabled my phone mobile data every time i want to manage the gbs over wi-fi.

Hey, great video!
I got mine yesterday and I'm trying to do downscaling via the Saturn cable (Saturn to SCART to be precise), as source I'm using the Steam Deck. Yesterday I tried going into the GBS-C via a HDMI -> RCA converter but got a black screen, probably due to the issue that the yellow cable is actually sync (I still got audio though).
Using a RCA -> SCART Adapter in addition still results in a black screen sadly.
Can a HDMI -> VGA converter solve this issue?

Hi. Can you tell me if the dc power supply is centre positive or centre negative? Thanks for indepth video.

So I bought a BitFunx GBS-C, here's my review:
When you can actually get it to show an image; it's great. Other times I'll be switching presets and resolutions back and forth over and over, until the mode that I know worked previously, actually works. Sometimes turning it off, and then back on, works. Basically, it's a buggy piece of shite, and I'm quite disappointed. Too good to be true. Used with PS2, Wii and Xbox Original via a component switch box, and a PS1 via SCART. Also, it really ought to come with a detailed instruction manual, which it doesn't.

hi i was wondering have you tried a dreamcast over vga because i cannot get it to work properly

[LuisGtzColunga]

Hello bro, I've adquired this recently, I've some questions. When you turn it on a red led is on? Have you tried snes thought scart? Dud you read any kind of documentation? I'm having issues with the image and config if it. I'm confused

[LeandroMarcosBH]

Hello friend, how did you manage to solve the WiFi problem?
I have the same situation and when I set it to 1080px720p the GBS CONTROL stops responding!
Can you help me please? Thanks...

Se puede usar los cables de videocomponete?

Retro friends, I'm having a problem in one game in particular, Top Gear, when the second player enters the box the screen shakes and disturbs player one. Can anyone explain how to resolve this??? I thank!!!

[NightSprinter]

PS2 outputs RGsB if you set it to output RGB, and play games at 480p or higher.

Inwidh it did not need a phone. My phone never works with apps right
