I have my PS1 hooked up through S-video and composite into a combined video switcher with one of those cheap Amazon cables that has both connections and a PS multi out connector. IIRC, Joe from Gamesack mentioned that you could get the better picture from S-video and not lose the ability to use the Guncon through composite by using one of those cables and it really does work well. I thought that I'd share that information here, just in case anybody else is still using composite just for the Guncon.
Good to know. I kind of want to get a Sony PlayStation 1 RAD2X cable. but I'm in no rush.

I had the PS1 RAD2X cable. It's not that great. Mainly because the PS1 doesn't put out that great of an RGB signal. Especially for games that are putting out strictly interlaced video. Image quality is really rough. Plus you have to use the cumbersome usb power connected to this. The other RAD2X's don't require an external power source.
Out of them all, the best are the Saturn and MegaDrive/PC-Engine versions. Those systems put-out really clean video signals that gets converted by the RAD2X. I haven't had a chance to grab the SNES one yet, i'm waiting for them to get back in stock, so I can't comment on the quality.
I like these cables though, they're nice for travel if you wanted to bring your console to a friend's or family's place. No need to deal with an extra unit for upscaling. They just plug in and go. Only downside is you gotta make sure the TV you're connecting to will take 480p over HDMI.
For anyone interested I used the OSSC to hook my PS1 up to a capture card for a video I did for my channel the other week.
I am far from happy with the results ATM but I still need to work out the best settings for PS1 with it.
I later found out PS1 is one of the worst consoles to get running nicely with it LOL
I was using my OSSC before, and it worked fine for the most part. But there are a lot of problem games on the PS1 that the OSSC does not like. Again, games with interlace signals only.
Also, the handshaking on screen changes from 240p to 480i would take up to 5-8 secs sometimes. Totally annoying.
Games like Chrono Cross, or Dino Crisis use 480i for their pause menus, so when the res switches the OSSC freaks out and takes a little bit to get the signal back. What's really nice about the PS1Digital is the settings that fix this issue.
Instant switching, no "handshaking":
This is one of the biggest advantages of the PS1Digital.
