Atlona S-Video To HDMI Upscaler Vs OSSC For PS2 Games - Affro's Curiosities EX

I personally use Retrotink 5X Pro but Retrotink 2X will do on pretty much any gaming console from the 90s and 2000s such as PS1 and PS2. Although the downsides is that one has to tweak the settings and save it to a preset profile for each gaming console respectively to make it worth while. I tried cheap Ebay and Amazon upscalers and they do work but the visual fidelity is often very bad, but there is definitely cheap good ones too, it just takes a while to find them.

I however spent over 600$ buying mine from Mike Chi the owner of Retrotink products to get my best experience and I highly recommend it. It's just gives back those oldschool vibes, in the settings menu much options can be tweaked to get just the right look for each game, that is the best part about it all. That is what is missing from all other scalers out there from what I know so far at least, I have never tried anything else than a Retrotink 5X Pro, so I can only share the limited experience I have had with it. I played all types of PS1 and PS2 games and it runs all of the games perfectly and just the way I want it to be run.

When it comes to OSSC I probably won't spend more to buy that when I got my own solution which costed me alot, but hey, there is more options out there, the more the merrier, so yeah. Everyone will find their favorite upscaler and that is cool.

There is so much fun to test each upscaler though, so hopefully someone can do a all in one test to see which upscaler is the best. But until then, I guess we will have to still speculate on what's the best one.

I really enjoyed the video, you put alot of effort into them and it is really nice. I wish I could do the same, but yeah, this is great.

How bad is the bob deinterlacing irl when in motion?

Hi Affro, after your extensive testing what is the best budget "plug and play" HDMI solution for the PS2 in your opinion?

(Please watch in the highest quality possible & on the biggest display you own to truly see the differences!)

Finally, here is a new video!

I first looked at the Atlona upscaler many years ago & now it is time to put up against the OSSC! Hope you enjoy the results & feel free to ask me any questions!
