Use the RGB mini port on your Frameister then all you need from there is a switch box for SNES GENESIS MASTER SYSYTEM because not many of your systems natively support RGB SCART. If your running thing into you Frameister with HDMI in its just a pass through don’t expect it to help with your LAG problem.

Also, that marker on your copy of Milon’s Secret Castle is really bothering me.

You can wipe the marker off with a paper towel dampened with rubbing alcohol. (I use a dollar-store “75% alcohol” spray-bottle.)

For the marker on the textured plastic, repeat with new paper towels until they come away clean. You may not get it all off, but it’ll at least be very faint.

I fully understand your decision to hold off on upgrading to RGB, but you seem to have one misconception about how you’d hook up SCART to your Framemeister:

You don’t want a SCART-to-HDMI box. Doing the analog-to-digital conversion quickly is one of your Framemeister’s jobs.

All you need is a cheap “Euro SCART to XRGB Mini 8-pin” cable to hook the RGB lines from the SCART cable up to the RGB port on the front of your Framemeister.

Also, Japan has their own version of SCART called JP-21. Apparently they look the same but wire the pins differently, so don’t get them confused or you might damage something.

If you want to plug Japanese and European consoles into the same SCART switcher, you need special “JP-21 to Euro SCART” or “Euro SCART to JP-21” cables which swap the pins around so they all match whichever “SCART to XRGB Mini 8-pin” cable you’re using. (Micomsoft sells both “JP-21 to XRGB Mini” and “Euro SCART to XRGB Mini” cables)

Do you own any of the 8bitdo wireless controllers with the wireless receivers? They are great.

Have you played Crystalis for NES, Mike? It’s another Zelda-esque game you might enjoy.

Also, you should stop listening to Ryan so much. He is clearly a steam/valve fanboy.
The vive suck. You should have gone for an Oculus Rift. It’s better and at least you don’t support valve’s and steam’s monopoly.

Why do you use steam so much?
Do you know about GOG.com? It’s like steam but way better and it’s owned by a better and honest company as well (CD Projekt Red).

I think you should give GOG a chance and stop relying on steam so much.
