Poor pixelation

[hakuoki]

Hey team,

I just picked up a bnib Saturn (jpn, white, hst-3220) console. I have never owned a Saturn before. I want the best picture so I bought a rgb SCART cable and an rgb upscaler (not a framemeister or ossc, but also not a $10 one either).

When I play games I sometimes get nicer/more clear pixels on screen movement or light flashes. Otherwise, the pixels look terrible. I owned a PSX and I don’t remember it looking so ugly and that would have been through s-video/composite. I am wondering if its maybe a cheap/bad cable; or if any of the above observations lead to a diagnostic of any other.

Appreciate your time and insight!

Perhaps you could show us which upscaler?

How does the console look without the upscaler, using just the TVs scalers. Also, are you playing 2-D or 3-D games? 2-D games tend to look better via rgb, although it’s a bit harsh for some. 3-D Saturn/PSX games look a lot better on CRT, maybe that’s how you remember them?
