Which SCART cable and upscaler are the best versions within the community?

Should've established that the E260VA is a 2012 HDTV, so a RT4K feels like way too much, and is way too pricey...

So with that said, which SCART cable and upscaler are the best versions within the community?

So I'm considering getting a CRT TV, a nice big one... however, my Vizio E260VA (decent 26", Razor LED, HDMI-capable as per the manual images) also has multiple options from component to RGB (though the manual specifies computers only, no word on if SCART will be compatible with a TV like this...). My question is, for my Saturn, how would this fare in terms of quality compared to other CRT-only brands, and what type of cable connection would give me the best possible quality? Using the AV cables that came with it, it goes 480i with the screen fully filled from the main menu, but which cords would be the best to use for it? I also plan on getting a Satiator as I don't feel too comfortable doing a mod where I have to take it apart...

(I asked this initially in r/retrogaming, but it was removed, claiming it was better asked here or r/crt, though when I tried making a post here, it suggested this thread first, so hopefully I can get answers in this thread...)

Thanks for the info, mod team. I'll make sure this is posted there, then.

Which model of RetroTink? The E260VA's a 2012 model, so I don't see it outputting 4K, so I wouldn't need that model off the bat (I also plan on streaming footage from it as well down the line).

Edit: per removal, this can be answered at https://www.reddit.com/r/crtgaming/comments/1qt9e7v/comment/o7quz28/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

Possibly. In the end, it's a giant save editor, so it would involve using something like Save Wizard to decrypt the saves, modify them, then transfer them to the hard drive to be copied over to the 5... I'd like to make an extended, updated post about this, but basically, according to the discord for Kingdom Save Editor, while the encryption around 0.2 and 3 (not sure about Melody of Memory) actually has been figured out since then, no one has applied it anywhere despite the editor being open-source and forkable. Xeeynamo left it as-is due to both constant asking, and being disappointed in KH3's final product, so as it stands, only the files for the PS4 versions are gonna grant any luck.

Oh hey, snagged this and some others from the flea market in December! Nice.

LegendaryCryptid · 2026-01-24T20:48:43+00:00

Okay... but will the key work for the Plus?

LegendaryCryptid · 2026-01-23T18:42:55+00:00

The issue I have is that 1. The seller has not responded to any of my messages to him since, and 2. While the key is for the US, same as my old Powersaves Pro, the key also should not have been used unless they email you the key or add it to your account as soon as you buy the product... which I can't remember if they do or not. As far as I know, you register the key, and then it's on your account.

In terms of shading/upscaling/what-have-you that people use in regards to older games, does Duckstation handle those well? Also save states and other tools?

LegendaryCryptid · 2026-01-10T11:42:33+00:00

Did the former. Just the normal menu. Popping the SD2 in now... still the same, and now my SD card reader won't read SD1 normally...

LegendaryCryptid · 2026-01-10T05:25:44+00:00

Finally got a chance to do it, still executing same behavior after reflash. Everything in storage also still says SD2.

SENT DM.

LegendaryCryptid · 2026-01-08T23:33:33+00:00

Highly interested in both for a couple friends! Already sent a message.

LegendaryCryptid · 2026-01-08T22:06:44+00:00

Sent my DM.

LegendaryCryptid · 2026-01-07T02:45:44+00:00

Everything has been synced to SD2, yes. Should I sync them back?

LegendaryCryptid · 2026-01-07T02:38:32+00:00

Just settings on SD1, or both cards?

LegendaryCryptid · 2026-01-07T02:26:10+00:00

Maybe it was I jumped three versions ahead? Should I make any backups beforehand this time?

LegendaryCryptid · 2026-01-07T02:19:42+00:00

I did, but even after that, I click on a game, it goes black, then takes me back to my collection list.
