Imagine a #DreamcastPro, 4k and streaming wireless to joy pad screen

What you're saying makes good sense. I did a DCHDMI a couple days ago for a friend of mine and every resolution gave me a great impression when I tried it out. I think someone who doesn't have an MClassic and just uses the DCHDMI in 960p or 1080p would be satisfied, and so would the person who has an MClassic and uses it at 480p. HDMI Dreamcast is a win no matter how you use it. Great video though, and a great idea

Thanks for the video Adam. I just got my DC back from "Leon" with the DCHDMI. I plugged it in to my mClassic setup and noticed the signal dropping out on my LG CX TV even with the mClassic set to passthrough. I changed the output setting on the DCHDMI to 960p which isn't listed as being supported by the mClassic but it works great and no more signal drop issues. I felt like 960p looked a bit better on my 4k TV than the 480p setting but it is pretty close.

Thank you for keeping the dream alive

Found using the Dreamcast VGA adapter and going from that directly to the m classic gave me the best results.

Love your video man. I came to the exact same conclusion. Great job.

Timmy OG Xbox? How did you hook up your mclassic to it?

On the DC HDMI I believe the 960p and 1080p modes are the same in terms of picture quality. The difference is that in 1080p mode the 960p image has borders making in 1080p for compatibility with TVs that cannot display a 960p image.

Big Adam in the house in 1080p haha

cool video tech adam

I guess Sega wasn't joking when they said ...."It's Thinking...." Seeing stuff still come out for Dreamcast is quite awesome.

I fucking love this channel!!

7:06 so its basically the same exact debate with the Genesis. When using Composite things like mesh patterns, Dithering and water effects are hidden because of the lower quality output. Then when using RGB Scart the image is sharper but all those effects that were hidden away become noticeable.

I finally for another DC. A friend gave me his with some games (some really good and...expensive ones). I'm using the hyperkin hdmi and mclassic. Looks fantastic.

You're absolutely right

I have two main issues with this: 1. It is clear that the 480p capture has a smoothing filter on where the 1080p capture does not. So then your first “1080p Upscaled” capture is being smoothed twice, once by the DCHDMI and again by the MClassic. 2. Other than smoothing filters, 1080p looks worse than 960p because 1080p is not an integer scale of 480p where 960p is. You can clearly see the uneven pixel scaling in the 1080p capture thanks to the fact that there is no smoothing. If you then pump that through the MClassic you will get another non-integer scale from 1080p to 1440p, aka an image that looks like hot garbage. Going from 480p through the MClassic will give you an integer upscale of 3x which will yield an objectively better image than scaling it by 2.25x and then again by 1.33x. While your suggestion to use 480p output from the DCHDMI is a good one, your reasoning as to why it looks better is flawed.

@AdamKoralik

4 жыл бұрын

No, it's not smoothed twice as explained the non standard timings made it impossible to do so. Unless the 480p mode has additional smoothing features that are automatic and that I'm unaware of the only artificial smoothing done is by the mClassic as stated in the video.

@@AdamKoralik Well that changes things. You clearly state in the video that the 480p capture is "...not including post-filters and things like mCable, mClassic, what have you..." So which is it? Is the 480p capture being processed by the mClassic or not? If you look at the HUD element like the ring icon and compare that between the "480p Native" capture and the "1080p Native" capture you can clearly see the individual (and not evenly scaled) pixels in 1080p where those pixels are obviously smoothed out in the 480p one. That's not something you will get just by upscaling an image by 2.25x. If that capture was indeed native then, as you said, the DCHDMI must be applying some kind of smoothing in 480p mode.

I think we're not communicating clearly. This video contains four separate versions of footage 480p native, nothing done 480p plus the mClassic. 1080p native, nothing done 1080p plus the mClassic. As a bonus, there's a brief clip of the 1080p mode with the relaxed firmware anti-aliasing option.

Thank you for this video I was actually debating whether to use 480p, 720p or 1080p.. you should get your hands on the samsungs Qled tvs. They support every res. From 480i , 720i, 1080i all the way up to true UHD.. I have the Q8fn and it's the best tv I've ever had..

I think I should finally upgrade one of my trusty Dreamcasts ☺

I personally still use Retrobit VGA Box. Because I can use VGA for all VGA supported games and S-Video for all non VGA and RGB supported games Awesome video quality!

I kinda want to do a side by side comparison between this way and a Retro Gaming Cables scart cable through an upscaler and see the difference. The dchdmi is probably better due to being straight digital, but it makes me very curious.

I can deal with the pixels to a point. That actually restores some of that vertical line arcade raster effect in some areas, but it's mixed on a clean screen image then one with rgb effects built in the screen. The other thing I was thinking was wanting to see OSSC's 960p mode with upsample2x being compared to the Mclassic for a sharper, more accurate image. I don't know if you figured out how to get vga levels configured properly yet?

Good solution imo would've been for the DC HDMI to have 720p support; it's a native scale of 480p but is also one of the more mainstream resolutions so perhaps the mClassic could've worked with it a little more; plus it'd be readable to capture devices which often don't have support for the more PC-centric resolutions like 960.

I currently have the kaico hdmi adapter and when paired with the mclassic my tv recognizes it as a real nice 1080p picture as opposed to 480 with just the kaico by itself. Since you mentioned that this hdmi mod at 480 with mclassic looks best, should I bother with the hdmi mod or keep with the kaico / mclassic combo? What would you do / think is best?

The RetroTink2X can't handle progressive (480p) video properly, although its great for retro consoles running 480i/240p. The OSSC can handle 480p from component no problem and you can connect the mClassic to the HDMI output. However, you should note that the mCable will poop on any scanlines you might have enabled with the OSSC. So my recommendation is the OSSC with scanlines off with 480p passthrough to the mClassic to your TV for your PS2 and Xbox

So citrus made a mod for the Dreamcast and even tho there is a 1080p option using it shows more stuff that it shouldn’t?

citrus3000psi oh snap! Citrus! Thank you for making this! I had been waiting to buy the framemeister and when I found out you made this, I immediately ordered it from your site. The product quality and result is amazing. Thank you and Adam for the info! Waiting eagerly to get my hands on one!

adam please be real with me for us normal dreamcast fanatics without any retail friends, is the picture difference of DCHDMI + mClassic really worth the price premium over a Gecko + mClassic?. Factoring in installation, the price difference is like $200+ between them, right?

I'm not in a position to tell anyone what to do with their money. Personally, it has some additional value to me as I do need to capture footage from time to time. But for most people, no, probably not needed.

What are your plans for Shenmue 3 as far as the channel? I imagine collector edition unboxings but can you do an actual review? We wanna hear your real thoughts. I know reviews aren't your thing, but I think this is the sole exception. I hope you're honest, regardless of your ties with Sega.

Honestly, not sure.

Without the Mclassic how much better is the Dreamcast going from analog to digital to a digital to digital solution I guess at just 480p output alone?

It's definitely an improvement.

I thought you weren't into DCHDMI? I was asking because I had kits on-hand and was willing to do one at-cost.

Ultimately I got a free board from CastleMania Games. So my buddy offered to install it for free.

How come no still shot comparing anti-aliasing of mclassic like you did with the built in dchdmi anti-aliasing to show difference between the two?

Adam Koralik Sorry. I worded that wrong. I meant a still shot comparison of mclassic anti aliasing without relaxed mode compared to relaxed mode anti aliasing on its own without mclassic to show difference.

My PC monitor Asus ROG Swift PG279Q 27" IPS (165Hz) 4ms supports 1440p. I'm going to try the mClassic on it in a few days just to see the magic of mClassic.

So the DCHDMI takes the signal straight from the chip. It never leaves the digital domain, so I don’t see why it would need any of the “color enhancement” the mCable applies. Arguably the DCHDMI already is the most accurate representation of the game designer’s vision when it comes to color accuracy

Color maybe not so much, bit the anti-aliasing is really the benefit in this case, in my opinion.

The dreamcast is never upscaling its always 480p max your dchdmi mod chip does the upscaling. The cable literally does the same thing as your dchdmi but probably not as good

Choosing a faster game where we have a difficult time trying to agree your point makes it look like this is more of a sales vid than a debate. I've already heard great things on both ends sooo I guess..... Yeah

Can't say I ever saw it that way, but it's an interesting perspective. Given how I captured the footage my options were unfortunately limited. Edit: In hindsight, I wish I had chosen Sonic Adventure 1 and used its menu.

Can you do one for ps2 hdmi and mclassic?
