There's always something in my retro stuff that needs an upgrade or new hardware gizmo, but I'm getting close to maybe finally doing something with my original Xbox that I bought 25+ years ago, but which hasn't even been turned on in at least 15 years. Yes, I know it likely needs a recap job done before anything else, assuming it hasn't already puked its own guts out all over the board. But after that, I'll be modding it, installing a hdd of some sort, and then I'll want to get the best video output I can.
I know there are HDMI adapters which I assume convert the component output, but I already use a Framemeister upscaler (another thing that will eventually get an upgrade) through a SCART switchbox for several of my old consoles, and retrogamingcables sells a SCART RBG cable for the original Xbox. The output would be 480p I guess? And that's fine, if it is at least equivalent (or preferably better) in picture quality than I'd get from an HDMI adapter. I would use the Framemeister to upscale to 720p.
