Yeah I'm beta testing it, so far been very impressed. RT4k has better software for the moment from what I've seen but the gap is closing and the Morph also has wifi, USB and expansion port.
It isn't quite fair to say it's half the price of the RT4k, remember the base unit Morph only comes with HDMI in. The idea is you chain your existing scaler (e.g OSSC) into it for the most affordable solution. If you then want a more integrated solution, you simply plug in the analogue bridge with whatever analogue inputs you want. This is still cheaper than the RT4k too, by about $250 USD.
They've tried to design it to be the best value 4K solution for everyone, but it doesn't seem like there's much the RT4K can do that this can't, but for now we can only speculate for now how it grows and evolves.
Obviously I'm not unbiased since I'm testing and selling Morphs but I think you'll honestly have a great experience whichever one you choose.

I've had the Morph for a couple of weeks now and it's really really close, with 4k the shadowmask effects are much closer to a real CRT compared to even 1440p.

and I'd recommend going in person to see any set before putting down big monies.

I think they look pretty smart, thanks for sharing.

I don't think it's exploded yet but it definitely needs replacing asap.

What do you mean by "different switch" ? Sounds like a mod.

Well right now I don't know if we'll be able to find anything lol, but yeah I'll report back here. I'm also on Classic gaming and my life in gaming Discords (PM me if you want screen names etc). Leaving Twitter soon because f that hot mess.

Zyrobs do you happen to have a motherboard with this PLL, could you tell me the serial number to look for to find a system with this PLL in it? I want to investigate this further with Bas @ BetaGamma's help.

Hunter was great for its time and far from ugly or too ambitious to be playable, so were early 3D titles like Mercenary or Midwinter 2. Not sure I could go back to titles like Driller or Castle Master on the C64 that I did play at the time mind. They were far from being action platformers like Mario 64 was though.

Doom 64 was great, I really liked that about the N64 how even when it got its own version of games they were often "remixed" or different somehow, you never see anything like that now since all the consoles are basically just the same PC architecture.

This isn't like e.g 32x doom where clearly the port was half assed, Lobotomy /did/ do a good job with it. The N64 version is definitely better of course but the Saturn version is playable enough. Obviously nobody is going to play Quake on the Saturn (or N64, or Amiga where I first played it) these days except out of curiosity or nostalgia.
I'm not even sure a PlayStation version would be guaranteed to be better. Potentially I suppose since the Quake engine was obviously triangles not quads like the Saturn architecture favoured and if it got a good dev team experienced with the hardware.

You've played it, surely? It's a competent port considering the hardware limitations. PCs of the time were way more powerful than Saturn/PlayStation.

Try inserting a small bit of cardboard (like a folded over business card) behind the cartridge as it sits in the Saturn.
Minimise cartridge swapping as much as possible, the Saturn's cartridge slot is notoriously flakey. Never swap with the power on.

Zyrobs would be the one to ask though he's not been seen in a few weeks.
