Kindly sponsored by PCBWay - Get your first PCBs free! - https://www.pcbway.com/ Video scalers are an essential part of getting the best possible video from your retro consoles onto a modern display. Today there are many high quality video scaler options available, but now there is a DIY video scaler project that produces incredible results! On this week's Fix It Friday we will show you how to build a GBS Control, an open source hack of the GBS8200 video scaler!
We also have these for sale prebuilt on our website at 1uprestorations.com!
