GBS Control... inexpensive open source upscaler/downscaler
Howard_Casto:
You guys see this?
I'm thinking of building one. While not quite as good it seems to be comparable to the OSSC and other more high end solutions. Your input can be component, scart or rgb/vga and you set settings via a web interface. Lag is virtually non-existent in most resolutions. Something more interesting is the ability to downscale to 240p.... The uses for our stuff should be obvious on that one. I kind of like this one because it gives you options. The other low-end solutions (retro-tink/rad2x) seem to want to limit you to one input type and this one, in theory, could handle just about everything but composite and s-video.
I think it's like $40 total in parts and you have to solder a few wires on... doesn't look too bad.

Yeah I’ve been following this project on the shmups forum. Very cool modifications here. The downscaling is awesome. If I didn’t already have an OSSC or Ultracade UVC I’d look seriously into doing this.
pbj:
Someone send Howard $40 so he can build one and report back to us.
Chop, chop, opt2not.

Eh I've got Amazon credit again... I'm debating over this or a gdemu to repair my dreamcast. Honestly though I never played my dreamcast that much when it was working.
Howard_Casto:
Hmm... well as per usual Amazon has marked it's stuff up accordingly. With an hdmi adapter I'm getting a total of around $54, not including a power supply and some scart connectors. Can you guys look around for a better place to order a power supply if you get a chance? I've been looking but they are either stupidly expensive for what they are (like $25) or they come over on the slow boat from China, so I might be able to get started this fall. I'm going to check fleabay to see if I can beat these prices and still get them here in a timely fashion in the morning. I'm also wondering if anyone has made a box for the gbs 20xx over on thingiverse. It wouldn't be hard to model and I'd like to connect a scart connector to the unused "arcade" connector with a switch to turn on/off that resistor mentioned in the video.
Also would a dual output board be useful for streaming? I've got hdmi splitters so I don't know how necessary that'd be.
