The Retro Gamer's Dream (If You Love to Tinker)

The Kaico OSSC is a fascinating piece of hardware designed for a very specific audience: retro gaming enthusiasts who crave the absolute best possible picture quality on modern displays. It largely delivers on that promise, but it's crucial to understand what you're getting into.First, the build quality is commendable. The unit itself feels well-built and substantial, and the switches are incredibly satisfying to operate, providing a tactile confirmation that speaks to its premium construction. I have, however, encountered a minor issue with the included power cable, which has occasionally played up, causing the device to momentarily lose power. This is a small frustration for an otherwise solid piece of hardware.When it comes to performance, the OSSC truly makes your retro games look as good as they ever have on an LCD or OLED screen. It eliminates the muddy, blurry mess you often get from generic adapters, providing a crisp, vibrant, and accurate picture that honours the original console output. However, and this is a big caveat, this device is absolutely for those who enjoy tinkering and are comfortable with a bit of trial and error. If you're expecting a true "plug and play" solution, this isn't it. For users not willing to dive into settings and experiment, a simpler, generic HDMI adapter would likely be a less frustrating option.But for those who relish the deep configuration, the OSSC shines. It allows you to convert older console signals (via RGB SCART, Component, VGA, etc.) into a modern HDMI signal with minimal lag, which is critical for classic gaming. The included remote makes configuration surprisingly easy, offering granular control over various aspects of the video signal. Once everything is meticulously set up for your specific console and display combination, it transforms into a brilliant little device that consistently delivers stunning results.With inputs, outputs, and power, the OSSC can quickly turn your entertainment setup into a bit of a spaghetti junction. It's definitely something to consider if you prioritize cable management.Overall: The Kaico Edition OSSC is a brilliant device if you're willing to invest the time to learn and tinker to get the most out of it, and if you genuinely care about achieving the best possible quality from your classic consoles. It's a niche product for a reason – it caters to enthusiasts. It's not for those who find tinkering a hassle and just want an "anyway to play" solution on a modern screen. But for the dedicated retro gamer seeking pixel-perfect output and minimal lag, this device is a fantastic, if slightly demanding, investment. It's unique in its capabilities at this price point and truly enhances the retro gaming experience.

Decent case and functions

I was always put off getting an OSSC because they looked like a school science project, but this Kaico one comes in a decent case and seems very well made. I've been using it for N64 stuff (rgb enabled ntsc). Picture is great. Menus are totally confusing as a noob, but the internet is helpful and within 20 minutes I'd set it up to my liking and it now just sits there and works. I haven't tried it with any other consoles yet. Very pleased and good value - I tried loads of cheaper scart to hdmi cables, but they were all garbage - wish I'd bought this first.

Not cheap, but it actually works

Having discovered three Amiga A1200 computers tucked in the back of my loft I deciI wanted to use it with an HDMI monitor. Having tried (and returned) three different brands of SCART to HDMI converters I was on the verge of giving up; one was completely faulty and didn't emit anything on the HDMI output, and the other two wouldn't display anything (even though other reviewers said it had worked for them). Then I discovered this mentioned and how it was specifically designed for old retro computers using RBG SCART. It was a lot more expensive and I nearly didn't get it, but I'm really glad I did. It took me a while to figure out how to use it as it idn't come with any instructions (other than how to reprogram the remote with my existing AV remotes; at firsat I thought it was faulty as it just displayed three grey boxes, but after some random pressing of random buttons on the remote, the screen kicked in. For an ageing computer, the image is sharp and crisp, even at higher resolutions and the sound quality was excellent. For anyone wanting to connect an old computer or console to a modern display I would say, just ignore the price and buy it, it's well worth the money.

Easily the best purchase for retro games at a great price

As a huge fanatic of retro games (mainly megadrive, PS1 and PS2 games), I can easily say that this is easily the best purchase for playing retro games on the big screen without any lag. So long as you have really good quality cables (RGB scart for megadrive and a good quality component cables for ps2 are highly recommended.Just know that you may need to buy the stereo to 3.5mm adaptor to pump the audio from the component input), you will definitely get the best picture quality from your retro consoles.The megadrive looks amazing in when scaled at 5x. The picture looks crisp and razer sharp. PS2 games look great as well and I like how it deinterlaces the PS2 games natively. The OSSC has so many options to play around with the settings.But I must say this: all of what I said will depend on your display. My Philips LED TV runs my games with no problem. Also good quality cables for your consoles is an absolute must!If you want the best way to enjoy retro games on your modern display and don't want to blow a hole in your wallet, the OSSC is an absolute must have!
