Re: Review: RAD2X Is The Only HDMI Cable You Need For Your Retro Consoles

@-wc- maybe I can. PAL user, though, so not sure whether this would apply to you. I ran into this scenario and problem (SNES, N64, GC to HDTV) and while the RAD2X is amazing for SNES and pretty good for GC, the lack of RGB-output on the stock N64 made it pretty much useless without an RGB mod. It's forced to use the composite signal and basically doesn't give a better picture than regular composite would, which is... really bad, loads of pixel crawl. It also can't handle different region games being played on it. My use case is an Everdrive X7 on a PAL N64 playing mostly NTSC games which force the N64 into PAL60 mode, which the RAD2X can't handle and will either give you a discoloured or distorted picture. I had to grab an extra retrotink 2X-mini to get my N64 to work properly with the HDTV. This might not be an issue for NTSC users though, but the bad picture quality still remains. On the SNES on the other hand, given it's a model that does RGB, the resulting picture is crisp and steady.
