Review: Perfect for MSX Computers — Including Yamaha MSX2+ - I own several MSX computers, including a Yamaha MSX2+ KUVT model. These machines have RGB ports, so I made several RGB to SCART cables following the proper specs. However, when I tried using basic SCART-to-HDMI converters from desertcart, nothing worked correctly. The image was unstable or didn’t show up at all. Then I tried this OSSC and it worked immediately, right out of the box! I was honestly amazed. I had started to think the problem was the MSX RGB port OR my soldering skills, since none of my cables worked with the other converters. It turns out the real issue was those cheap converter boxes. This OSSC SCART box works flawlessly and brings out a clean, sharp, and incredibly stable image from my MSX machines. I’m attaching photos of the first cable I made. In the photo, you can see the Japanese version of the Yamaha MSX. I will also update this review as I continue testing the box further. Five (5) stars! It simply works and works beautifully. Thank you!
Review: Awesome - 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!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great value, breathes new life into classic consoles
*by X***N on December 3, 2025*

This upscaler works fantastic. I was a bit skeptical when I first purchased it, but after using it for months I can absolutely say I’m satisfied. Out of the box, the remote didn’t work consistently. That said I was surprisingly able to fix this by pressing the remote face-down on my desk firmly. I believe a connection was loose, and that solved it. The built in options are great, and the build quality feels solid. I can’t say I’d feel great about dropping it or stacking anything heavy on it, but you can tell it’s decently constructed. The sound and video quality are great. Input lag is basically nonexistent, at least in my experience. My original Nintendo Wii was given new life, and I’ve finally been able to enjoy using it on modern 4k displays. Overall: works great (-1 star due to the remote situation), feels decently solid for what it is, and has lasted me at least several months of sustained use. Just make sure you do your research on what connections and cables you need for certain outputs and you’re all set.
