This adapter can improve your ENTIRE gaming setup! - mClassic HDMI Upscaler Review | Nintendrew 

Hey everyone! Just got confirmation that the 4:3 issue has been FIXED ahead of production! Apparently the new model is headed my way, so I'll confirm the fix in person soon. Great news! Check out the mClassic on Indiegogo: igg.me/at/mclassic

Me watching this video in bed at 144p: hmm yes interesting

The highest quality I can set my phone to is 720P. I can still easily spot the difference with all but two of the games that he showed. Truly amazing

Glad I found your channel. I enjoy your positivity and when you take time to explain things in detail which a lot of others would skip over. You have a good thing going here.

"Half Life 2 is not that old" Half Life 2 is 15 years old, dude--

I was like, I see no difference between the two and then I checked my quality settings and I was at 360p for some reason

"There is no Galaxy HD remake yet" I wish m8

It may just be youtube compression but this product doesnt seem like a big enough difference to justify the price

Nintendrew seems like the kind of person that would be really fun to play Super Smash Bros with.

Why on earth would you crop and shrink footage thats supposed to compare resolution???

Just ordered mine, PUMPED! Currently running my Wii through component cables into an HDMI adapter which honestly looks really good already on my TV. Really looking forward to see what it would look like with this added.

Finally someone that shows what older consoles look like and not just the switch. Thank you!!!

This thing is pretty amazing, Skyward Sword really looked much cleaner and easier on the eyes, I definitely will be buying one of these fo shizzle. One of the great ways this tech could be used is in laptops, getting a decent serving of AA, decent upscaling, overall improved visual fidelity for no performance penalty would be ideal for a gaming laptop, they could even licence the tech to T.V and monitor manufactures. Maybe even Nintendo could implement it into the next Switch somehow, both in portable mode and docked mode, you could really use this tech to great effect with something like the Switch or any console for that matter.

Would be really cool if they made a 4k upscaler in the future, that upscaled everything to 4k with the improvements.

Guess I'll buy another one of these so called upscalers for my PS2. I'm always tempted and hopeful. But most of the time these always let me down big time.

I got one and use it with my Wii, Wii U and Xbox 360 via an HDMI splitter. While it’s a pretty subtle change, it does help with making the image sharper and smoothing out some jagged pixels on the screen. My Wii benefits from it the most since the M-Classic upscales it to HD-like graphics. I don’t recognize any latency issues or lag either.

This is so tight! I’m buying my brother an eon gchd for his birthday and I think I might just pick this up for him for Christmas too!

I'm interested to see what this would do for a Switch on a 4K display.

I love the backdrops on these channels. This dude's game collection is fire. That's goals for me right there.

I understand that you can only use the cables you have. But with a higher quality cable, you will get a better image for the mcable to process. Right now it just processes blurry unsharp images. SNES games via a scart cable will look much better than the composite you used and will also give a much better result. Perhaps this video is meant more for a general retro game fan who does not have all this equipment. But if you own a retrotink and this mcable, then you're already in the price range of an OSSC so you might as well go further. On the other hand, when you show of the gamecube stuff, then the video gets interesting. Then it actually gives the mcable a high quality signal to work with and shows of it's true potential.

If this thing can turn Mortal Kombat 11 and the Witcher III on Switch to be something spectacular then count me in.

I got the super early bird backer price at $59.99 while y'all SLEPT.

So you CAN connect it to an hdmi switch box and convert everything at once!..I would still need the super 64 though so I can connect n64 to my switch box...but I'd also be eliminating composite cables from composite switch box...I think I'm going to re think my entire retro set up.

It's strange that I haven't seen anybody complain about the fact that it only upscales up to 1440p when it should upscale all the way to 4K. After all, there's no such thing as a 1440p TV and the standard is 4K. Another thing I'd like to see Marseille implement into their next version would be a frame interpolation feature. A lot of people don't like frame interpolation, but personally I think it's great when it's done right.

1:48 nice

"Through it's indiegogo campaign, early backers can reserve a unit for as low as $69" nice

Thanks for making these videos. I just bought the Super64 and mCable (and Brawler64) the other day on CastleMania. I can't wait to try them out!

You should do a review of the sharp shooter n64 replacement stick and see how it compares to an original n64 stick

Expensive adapter for such a minor difference.

Wow! That looks like something that would be good to have! Thanks Nintendrew!

ok so lets say we wanna record N64 or GC footage best as possible. we do: Plug the eon 64/eon GCHD. We plug the Mclassic into that. Then we plug the Mcable into the Mclassic. Lastly, We put a put the DS memory expansion pack in the GB Player for GC or Memory Expansion slot in N64. And we have the best footage

Hey Drew, I just wanted to ask if it's safe to connect this directly to the back of the Carby on my Gamecube? Is that the ideal way to combo it?

Another fantastic review with the best comparisons. Thank you for that.

Seemed too good to be true at first but skyward sword looks great on it.

One question: I already had one mCable Gaming edition for my Switch, can I also plug this thing in my mCable?

Works with the Retrotink? At the end of an HDMI switch? Well it looks like I saved an untold amount of money already! TAKE MY MONEY!

I dunno, it looks like an emulation filter such as super sai. I will stick with OSSC & component / RGB SCART etc.

Great review. Video nerd note: you could probably use its full processing mode and then tell your display that it's a 4:3 signal! My projector has 3 aspect modes, Full, 16/9, and 4/3, as well as Auto. So when I'm using a GCHD, I can force 4/3. That same behavior will work on this adapter's output, but only in full processing mode. That retro mode seems broken for more than one reason. Let's say that for example you're watching 4:3 HD content, like some older cartoons on Amazon or Blu-Ray, the recent Batman remaster, or some Disney cartoons, whatever. The video output is still 1920x1080, 16/9, with a centered 1440x1080 4/3 image. English: The black bars are part of the image itself. 720x480 SD digital video should have an aspect flag. Should, lol. I know the GCHD gives you a fair bit of control for aspect settings. It's unfortunate that if those flags are properly set, that the mClassic is ignoring them, but like you said, the real crime is that it's not forcing the input to be recognized with non-square pixels in retro mode. Perhaps they wanted to focus on SD output, and not necessarily 4:3 output, and someone missed a memo. If it isn't doing any different processing, they'd be better served just making it an aspect ratio switch. And of course, on a lot of TVs you can still force 4:3 yourself, although you're doing that after it takes non-square pixels, makes them even wider, and then you manually squish them back down - it will only look as good as your TV's scaler.

You’re the best RU-vidr! I love your optimism and the facts, I got the GCHD because of you! (I’m a good way) you’re epic

You said you plugged your m classic into the other adapters you use. Could you please list the other adapters in question?

Just ordered one for my Wii U. Really hoping this solves the poor image quality on Wii games played on backward compatibility. I've always said that decent anti aliasing would go a long long way to making the Wii gaming experience more pleasant. As it is, it's pretty horrific. I've always wondered why I find the Original Xbox good but not the Wii, and as this shows, it's the lack of the post processing on the Wii. The Wii has to be Nintendo at their laziest.

Does anything like this exist for dirtying up a signal, like simulating noise on an RF connection? I'd like to play the 360 version of Sonic CD (and other things) with proper graphics effects, waterfalls and bug wings that actually look transparent, but the 3 filter options it was released with are all too sharp.

Glad I found this video, just bought one with the early adapter price, can't wait to see how well it works with my switch and xbone s

Nintendrew: if you back the indegogo campaign it will cost about 69 bucks Me: *NICE*

Try this on WiiU!!! And it seems the 6th and 7th gen consoles would be benefit most from this

Tbh the aspect ratio issue is actually a better solution than outputting in true 4:3. All modern lcds have uniform pixel sizes. So when you're image contains non-square pixels you experience a shimmering effect as the pixels are expanded and contracted when they are in between the real pixels on the screen. What happens is one pixel gets displayed too wide and the next pixel gets displayed too narrow. Then if you move by one pixel the wide pixels become narrow and vice versa. A lot of people don't notice this at all, but the nes classic is famous for it. Check out some footage of zelda 2 for a prime example and watch how the roofs of the buildings appear to wobble or shimmer as you move left and right. Trust me once you do see it, you can't unsee it. This is the very reason the pixel perfect mode exists on the nes and snes classic. So the mClassic outputting the original square pixels is actually a good thing as it prevents that shimmering effect since the pixels are always able to line up with your real pixels on the display. And for some people that is a make or break feature. I've even heard reports of people experiencing headaches from the shimmer. So, in my opinion, I would rather play with square pixels even if it isn't the true retro aspect ratio to avoid this effect.

I’m wondering how this will look with Resident Evil on Gamecube compared to the official remastered release

So does the m-classic work with a ossc? Did you have a chance to test sega saturn?

TL;DR If you want anything under 7th gen, get a framemeinster, Retro TINT 2x or OSSC.

Just backed it. Will be fantastic with my Switch and PS3!

How do you get your Wii to work with the m classic?

When you’ve been watching nintendrew for forever and forgot to sub 🙃🐳

the wii was my childhood, the very first game i ever played and my number 1 favorite game is "The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword" and one of my favorite games is "Super Mario Galaxy" I am in tears just getting nostalgia, and seeing my 2 favorite games in HD 1080p/1440p is amazing! Nintendo need to make "TLoZ: SS Remastered" in the switch...

How does it connect to something like a wii wich doesnt connect through HDMI?

why there isnt a retro gaming tv yet i beyond me

Hey @nintendrew, perhaps a silly question, but can you plug the mcable into the mclassic? And if so does it have any added effect?

With my eyes I can barely tell the difference between modified and unmodified, but from how you describe it it's a pretty nifty gadget.

I mainly only noticed the difference with games that ran at 720p as 1080p is what my 4K TV only supports right next to 2160p :(

Just purchased one for myself, thank you for giving an amazing review to help me make the decision to do so!

Hey nintendrew I just wanted to say me and my friends loved u at omgcon2019 keep up the great work

Thank you for showing OG Xbox footage. Waiting for my mClassic to arrive. Have fairly high expectations from it.

I know it is not very new but could you do a video talking about the RetroTINK 2x? I am trying to find something that would work well for my set-up and am a little confused by this product

1:50 you missed the opportunity to say a "Nice Discount"

I cant imagine wanting to use this for most retro consoles. Seems like 480p and 720p consoles benefit the most from this device.

The "after" Screen have framerate issues. It's easy noticeable if you compare it with the left. Not just look on graphics alone, guys. It's best seen on 7:17 if you look at the swinging thing in the background and how it "stops" moving.

I just got this in my Indiegogo inbox. When I was watching the video they had yours was right there!

7:13 there is one though! It’s for the nvidia only in China!

What if you plug the M Cable, into the M Classic....😱

this adapter would make recording my game footage alot easier ^_^

Works for Steam deck docked can lower res and stuff to up frame rate and let this thing bring it all back up..if you understand my words

Last time I was this early I was this early.

Why is it so expensive though? There are no major differences, and I'm watching on a monitor screen.

Hanging out with your grandpa Gentry. He told me about your channel. Haha. Just subscribed. :)

Just heard about this today when looking into options for tweaking the image quality on my Switch, Wii U, and Xbox! Thanks much for the awesome video.

i would watch his videos, and eat vietnamese food. idk why, please dont ask.

I clicked right away lol

Would this work on modern consoles? (Xbox one (x/s), PS4 (slim/pro), nintendo switch (mini)

Dude i wanna play DQB 2 with this so badly rn

totally missed the opportunity to say it’s a “pretty nice” discount

... I don't like it, it looks like a blurry mess

I know I know, this is a Nintendo channel, but I gotta say that I absolutely need this for my Dreamcast.

I bought a Marseille cable a couple of years ago and was pretty disappointed with the results, looks like I should have waited for this thing!

"If you're thinking of picking a product like this, you probably are very discerning about video signals"

This device is no "upscaling" squat, it is just applying an anti-aliasing filter.

I don’t normally support these kind of devices, but oh wow, some of the games you showed off really do look better, especially Paper Mario, that looked incredible.

I just got the 2 pack. I can't wait til they come in. Thanks Nintendrew for the heads up!

Anyone else here from WULFF DEN?

I got the og m cable like days before I learned about the m classic. At first I thought it was just a version meant to deal with lower resolutions like 480i & 240p, didin't expect a full upgrade. My Tv doesn't support 1440p however, so I'm only slightly butt hurt.

You know, I would set my TV to 4:3 and the mClassic to the full processing 16:9 mode, even now that they fixed the issue. I would just rather my TV fix the aspect ratio itself.

sorry i will correct you on 1 thing no nintendo console will output 720p the only console to support 720p was the dream cast via the vga for ntsc you are running in a 720x400 resolution for widescreen where pal runs at 720x576 even if you can force 1080 or 4k upscaling to this resolution is going to tbe an issue for snes, n64 game cube and wii can only really handle a max resolution of 720x400 when you talk about 480- you are talking about 640x480 resolution of 4:3

Ok this is what i have been wanting!

It's not even like I'm gonna get an M classic but I just enjoy watching you talk

More switch footage. This looks so cool

Is there a way to use this on multiple consoles at once? Or would I have to buy more than one

Awesome video, amazing review!! Few questions. I have 720p tv, PS3 and a Switch. Would I notice any improvement? In your opinion is it worth $100?

What if you use the Super 64 with M classic with the M classic cable

One thing I noticed in the mClassic footage: There's a 1-frame pause every second, which might be similar to the complaints Digital Foundry had with the original release of Mario Kart 8 on the WiiU. This introduces a noticable persistent stutter in the feed, which might be a big drawback for a device that was looking to be good...

Hi nintendrew love your channel keep up the great work :3 your the best (;

I just got mine in the mail. I got it for my switch, but as it's gotten closer I'm more excited to try my ps2 on it. I want NFS most wanted to look amazing! I'm also gonna try it on the one x, Cyberpunk and Elden ring gonna be looking crisp!

I wonder if it'll be worth it if you already have the mCable?
