Found this cheep console scanner. I would imagine it’s not as good as many of the others but figured I would post a link to it as it is on sale and has lots of different kinds of plugins.

Your link got foo-barred up somehow.  Let's try this one:

Judging by the features and bugs/issues in the description, this is a retroTINK knock-off.  Overall that is a good product, but it still has some iffy audio issues to work out.  Most tvs have the option to input audio from something other than hdmi though, so I guess it could be bypassed.  Let's wait till they clone the rad2x, which is essentially the same thing, but it has cables to accept native rgb from most consoles.

It's such a brazen ripoff that they even call it a Retrotink in the last description header. Maybe a copy/paste error?

I like my Retrotink 2X, but I have the old firmware with the audio issues and there is no practical way for the end user to update firmware. I haven't contacted Mike Chi, so I don't know how painless a firmware upgrade would be. For now, I just run the audio into my soundbar, so the Retrotink is video only.

I think a Retrotink 2x is a great option, especially since the new units from Mike Chi should have solved every issue that I've had.
