Hey everyone! Just got confirmation that the 4:3 issue has been FIXED ahead of production! Apparently the new model is headed my way, so I'll confirm the fix in person soon. Great news! Check out the mClassic on Indiegogo: igg.me/at/mclassic
@nintendrew I wanted to ask a question I'm having issues with my new TV my old one I had a controller plugged in my shield to hdmi one with headphones. When I switched hdmi signals I still heard the audio from the shield controller through headphones but with the new TV when I switch hdmi signals the sound cuts off the previous hdmi so I can't hear sound through shield headphones please help
Glad I found your channel. I enjoy your positivity and when you take time to explain things in detail which a lot of others would skip over. You have a good thing going here.
Well you're not wrong. we only got a remaster of Super Mario Galaxy 1. (The game already looks amazing so it's not that bad that it didn't get a remake) it kinda sucks for the Super Mario Galaxy 2 fans, since it's still only playable on a Wii or Wii U, and the only way to make it look nicer is either use Emulation, or use an mClassic with a Wii U.
This thing is pretty amazing, Skyward Sword really looked much cleaner and easier on the eyes, I definitely will be buying one of these fo shizzle. One of the great ways this tech could be used is in laptops, getting a decent serving of AA, decent upscaling, overall improved visual fidelity for no performance penalty would be ideal for a gaming laptop, they could even licence the tech to T.V and monitor manufactures. Maybe even Nintendo could implement it into the next Switch somehow, both in portable mode and docked mode, you could really use this tech to great effect with something like the Switch or any console for that matter.
Just ordered mine, PUMPED! Currently running my Wii through component cables into an HDMI adapter which honestly looks really good already on my TV. Really looking forward to see what it would look like with this added.
Isaac Cushman Did you decide to not use an HDMI cable ? I have an XBOX 360 on a Sony 4K and I have a slight graphic upgrade playing NCAA 10. But I’m wondering could I improve the quality even more with pricey cables.
Btw, thanks nintendrew for plugging this thing in a previous video. I may have missed that early backer price if I didnt sign up for indiegogo. I've always wanted the Mcable but I'm glad I held off for this release! Great video!
Guess I'll buy another one of these so called upscalers for my PS2. I'm always tempted and hopeful. But most of the time these always let me down big time.
IMO, the best way to play the PS2 is on a CRT. Most games were just designed to play on that type of display. I recommend My Life In Gaming's video "how to get the best picture from your PS2" if you want to know more.
Doom Guy PS2 will always be best played on a CRT, as most games support 480i maximum. Some support 480p, but 480p never looks that good as it has to be scaled unless you are using a 480p native TV. 480p is really annoying as 480p LCD’s don’t really exist anymore, meaning you’ll need to use a pretty old LCD, which unfortunately means you’ll have pretty poor black levels. A 480p CRT won’t have to scale and will have perfect black levels, but they can’t handle 480i properly, meaning you’ll need another giant CRT for 480i, wasting more space than a 480p LCD.
What I would really like is a XBRZ filter sitting right after the Nvidia (or AMD) driver's output doing the post-processing on the fly. I've seen what the XBRZ tech can do for DOS games running on DOSBox, and it's awesome, much better results than with M's tech.
It's strange that I haven't seen anybody complain about the fact that it only upscales up to 1440p when it should upscale all the way to 4K. After all, there's no such thing as a 1440p TV and the standard is 4K. Another thing I'd like to see Marseille implement into their next version would be a frame interpolation feature. A lot of people don't like frame interpolation, but personally I think it's great when it's done right.
I have a pc.. and 1440p is the best resolution/ performance sweet spot. Now this makes the mclassic 1440p mode absolutely awesome!! (Just a great tip for all pc gamers here that also love consoles)
I understand that you can only use the cables you have. But with a higher quality cable, you will get a better image for the mcable to process. Right now it just processes blurry unsharp images. SNES games via a scart cable will look much better than the composite you used and will also give a much better result. Perhaps this video is meant more for a general retro game fan who does not have all this equipment. But if you own a retrotink and this mcable, then you're already in the price range of an OSSC so you might as well go further. On the other hand, when you show of the gamecube stuff, then the video gets interesting. Then it actually gives the mcable a high quality signal to work with and shows of it's true potential.
I got one and use it with my Wii, Wii U and Xbox 360 via an HDMI splitter. While it’s a pretty subtle change, it does help with making the image sharper and smoothing out some jagged pixels on the screen. My Wii benefits from it the most since the M-Classic upscales it to HD-like graphics. I don’t recognize any latency issues or lag either.
ok so lets say we wanna record N64 or GC footage best as possible. we do: Plug the eon 64/eon GCHD. We plug the Mclassic into that. Then we plug the Mcable into the Mclassic. Lastly, We put a put the DS memory expansion pack in the GB Player for GC or Memory Expansion slot in N64. And we have the best footage
It is exactly the same as those filters. This is just a stick with a few upscaling filters built in. For pixel based games, you get a smear effect, but for polygon based games it's not like anti aliasing. OSSC can still benefit from an upscaling filter for these games, though of course that's a matter of opinion.
So you CAN connect it to an hdmi switch box and convert everything at once!..I would still need the super 64 though so I can connect n64 to my switch box...but I'd also be eliminating composite cables from composite switch box...I think I'm going to re think my entire retro set up.
Just ordered one for my Wii U. Really hoping this solves the poor image quality on Wii games played on backward compatibility. I've always said that decent anti aliasing would go a long long way to making the Wii gaming experience more pleasant. As it is, it's pretty horrific. I've always wondered why I find the Original Xbox good but not the Wii, and as this shows, it's the lack of the post processing on the Wii. The Wii has to be Nintendo at their laziest.
@@chadmiller4814 The mclassic works best on the Wii U with Wii games. Except for RE4, because I think the colours are complex in the village etc. It can't detect what to improve. But yeah, on every console I've tried, the Wii U /Wii is the only one it make significant difference. Well worth it. I have a huge collection of Wii games anyway. Doesn't work on the PS2, because the graphics are too muddy, it can't detect a thing. Original Xbox doesn't really need it, and it even doesn't help the Game Cube much, not sure why. But it works amazingly well for Wii games on the Wii U. And Wii games needs it the most anyway imo.
@@DDuMas that's great! I'm considering getting one specifically to improve the Wii games on my Wii U. What settings do you have it on that work best? I have heard to have it set to 480p for it to work best on Wii games and switch it back to 720p for Wii U games.
It might be a while before CRT technology returns. The tubes themselves aren't really made anymore, despite the fact they can be HDMI-compatible. It's an untapped market as of now.
Tbh the aspect ratio issue is actually a better solution than outputting in true 4:3. All modern lcds have uniform pixel sizes. So when you're image contains non-square pixels you experience a shimmering effect as the pixels are expanded and contracted when they are in between the real pixels on the screen. What happens is one pixel gets displayed too wide and the next pixel gets displayed too narrow. Then if you move by one pixel the wide pixels become narrow and vice versa. A lot of people don't notice this at all, but the nes classic is famous for it. Check out some footage of zelda 2 for a prime example and watch how the roofs of the buildings appear to wobble or shimmer as you move left and right. Trust me once you do see it, you can't unsee it. This is the very reason the pixel perfect mode exists on the nes and snes classic. So the mClassic outputting the original square pixels is actually a good thing as it prevents that shimmering effect since the pixels are always able to line up with your real pixels on the display. And for some people that is a make or break feature. I've even heard reports of people experiencing headaches from the shimmer. So, in my opinion, I would rather play with square pixels even if it isn't the true retro aspect ratio to avoid this effect.
@@Shark97281 While I dont personally have one, I can say I have seen perfect dark and donkey kong 64 running with the Eon Super 64, so it is fairly safe to say Majoras Mask will also run fine with it
@@Shark97281 So glad I don't have to worry about this since I got a ultra hdmi n 64 lolz. Oh and guess what... I got the m classic. Hm... Perhaps I should try them out and let you know how it looks? Might be helpful? Or should I be a prick and not say anything? Lol sorry it's 2 in the morn, just saw suicide squad, and got wasted lololol. Frig am I doin up so late? Oh right... I was messing with the mclassic I just got. Lemme boot up the ol ocarina of time (best game ever made) Yea it looks a bit better in my honest opinion lolz. Don't forget to set the mclassic to green light middle posish. This is great man : )
Alternatively you could run component output through something like the RetroTink. Not the cheapest option unless you already own the HDMI upscaler but still.
Both should work but it depends on the resolution and the console, some OSSC formats (e.g. 960p or 720p SNES) can be weird and might not work with the cable or your TV, but more normal consoles like Saturn and PS1 or N64 will work just fine I think. If the higher resolutions are less compatible, you can always try 480p mode as that should be compatible for almost any TV.
the wii was my childhood, the very first game i ever played and my number 1 favorite game is "The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword" and one of my favorite games is "Super Mario Galaxy" I am in tears just getting nostalgia, and seeing my 2 favorite games in HD 1080p/1440p is amazing! Nintendo need to make "TLoZ: SS Remastered" in the switch...
The "after" Screen have framerate issues. It's easy noticeable if you compare it with the left. Not just look on graphics alone, guys. It's best seen on 7:17 if you look at the swinging thing in the background and how it "stops" moving.
I was wondering the exact same thing too! I own the M-Cable Gaming Edition and I'm using it for the Nintendo Switch. I am wondering what would happen if you plug in both the M-Cable and the M-Classic, will it improve the quality even further?
hello, I have only one question: in any case, for consoles like the PS2 or the Wii, you need an adapter to convert the output to HDMI and then insert the mclassic, am I right?
You are correct. The makers of the mclassic have a UA-cam video on their channel that shows God of War 2 on the PS2 that is connected with a component cable to a hdmi converter.
Does anything like this exist for dirtying up a signal, like simulating noise on an RF connection? I'd like to play the 360 version of Sonic CD (and other things) with proper graphics effects, waterfalls and bug wings that actually look transparent, but the 3 filter options it was released with are all too sharp.
Great review. Video nerd note: you could probably use its full processing mode and then tell your display that it's a 4:3 signal! My projector has 3 aspect modes, Full, 16/9, and 4/3, as well as Auto. So when I'm using a GCHD, I can force 4/3. That same behavior will work on this adapter's output, but only in full processing mode. That retro mode seems broken for more than one reason. Let's say that for example you're watching 4:3 HD content, like some older cartoons on Amazon or Blu-Ray, the recent Batman remaster, or some Disney cartoons, whatever. The video output is still 1920x1080, 16/9, with a centered 1440x1080 4/3 image. English: The black bars are part of the image itself. 720x480 SD digital video should have an aspect flag. Should, lol. I know the GCHD gives you a fair bit of control for aspect settings. It's unfortunate that if those flags are properly set, that the mClassic is ignoring them, but like you said, the real crime is that it's not forcing the input to be recognized with non-square pixels in retro mode. Perhaps they wanted to focus on SD output, and not necessarily 4:3 output, and someone missed a memo. If it isn't doing any different processing, they'd be better served just making it an aspect ratio switch. And of course, on a lot of TVs you can still force 4:3 yourself, although you're doing that after it takes non-square pixels, makes them even wider, and then you manually squish them back down - it will only look as good as your TV's scaler.
sheik124 I bet you these people don’t even play video games especially retro games they well never get it right. We need someone who plays these games on retro consoles who understands what to look for make these devices.
You know, I would set my TV to 4:3 and the mClassic to the full processing 16:9 mode, even now that they fixed the issue. I would just rather my TV fix the aspect ratio itself.
Sonic Unleashed is 880x720 on xbox 360 and xbox one x so maybe the m classic will make it cleaner and look as clean as the xbox one x enchanced version of sonic generations .
okay I have straight questions I have Mclassic hdmi adapter. But my new TV Samsung Q700t has problems with open. SONY TV had no problems, also now my tv also has problems with the same work me Hdmi switch and now Xbox one x black screen thanks. What do you do there ????
Is there any issue playing VC games on the Wii with the Wii set to 480p? Do they fill the screen properly or looked stretched? Or do they have he black side bars?
If I will only use the upscale mode and not the retro mode should I get this? Or is there any better product for only that? I want it for my Nintendo Switch to make a better use of my 4K tv (even if it upscale to 1440p and not 4K) And I heard that it can boost 1080p 30fps to 4K 30fps Is that true?

@@Shark97281 So glad I don't have to worry about this since I got a ultra hdmi n 64 lolz. Oh and guess what... I got the m classic. Hm... Perhaps I should try them out and let you know how it looks? Might be helpful? Or should I be a prick and not say anything?
Lol sorry it's 2 in the morn, just saw suicide squad, and got wasted lololol. Frig am I doin up so late? Oh right... I was messing with the mclassic I just got. Lemme boot up the ol ocarina of time (best game ever made)
Yea it looks a bit better in my honest opinion lolz. Don't forget to set the mclassic to green light middle posish. This is great man : )
this adapter would make recording my game footage alot easier ^_^
1:50 you missed the opportunity to say a "Nice Discount"
I just got this in my Indiegogo inbox. When I was watching the video they had yours was right there!
When you’ve been watching nintendrew for forever and forgot to sub 🙃🐳
thanks for reminding me LOL
Thank you for showing OG Xbox footage. Waiting for my mClassic to arrive. Have fairly high expectations from it.
You said you plugged your m classic into the other adapters you use. Could you please list the other adapters in question?
Nintendrew i love your Channel
How do you get your Wii to work with the m classic?
You'll probably need to buy a third-party hdmi adapter for your wii, and then connect the mclassic to this adapter.
Alternatively you could run component output through something like the RetroTink. Not the cheapest option unless you already own the HDMI upscaler but still.
Wii U
Works for Steam deck docked can lower res and stuff to up frame rate and let this thing bring it all back up..if you understand my words
Hey @nintendrew, perhaps a silly question, but can you plug the mcable into the mclassic? And if so does it have any added effect?
Ryan Howard ok 1: I wanna have whatever you’re smoking. 2: *WHAT WOULD HAPPEN???*
The people that made it already claimed you can see interesting improvements by daisy chaining m classics into each other
I mainly only noticed the difference with games that ran at 720p as 1080p is what my 4K TV only supports right next to 2160p :(
So does the m-classic work with a ossc?
Did you have a chance to test sega saturn?
Both should work but it depends on the resolution and the console, some OSSC formats (e.g. 960p or 720p SNES) can be weird and might not work with the cable or your TV, but more normal consoles like Saturn and PS1 or N64 will work just fine I think. If the higher resolutions are less compatible, you can always try 480p mode as that should be compatible for almost any TV.
Just heard about this today when looking into options for tweaking the image quality on my Switch, Wii U, and Xbox! Thanks much for the awesome video.
I cant imagine wanting to use this for most retro consoles. Seems like 480p and 720p consoles benefit the most from this device.
Isn’t that retro 480?
the wii was my childhood, the very first game i ever played and my number 1 favorite game is "The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword"
and one of my favorite games is "Super Mario Galaxy"
I am in tears just getting nostalgia, and seeing my 2 favorite games in HD 1080p/1440p is amazing!
Nintendo need to make "TLoZ: SS Remastered" in the switch...
Your wish was granted 👀
Hey nintendrew I just wanted to say me and my friends loved u at omgcon2019 keep up the great work
Same here
The "after" Screen have framerate issues. It's easy noticeable if you compare it with the left. Not just look on graphics alone, guys. It's best seen on 7:17 if you look at the swinging thing in the background and how it "stops" moving.
That was an issue with my capture card which wasn't apparent until the video was rendered. My apologies!
Last time I was this early I was this early.
FINALLY an original comment.
Katie Tree ohhh Uh... Okay.

@@thebenwilbert hi
It looks really good! Great video comparison, Drew!
What if you plug the M Cable, into the M Classic....😱
I was wondering the exact same thing too! I own the M-Cable Gaming Edition and I'm using it for the Nintendo Switch. I am wondering what would happen if you plug in both the M-Cable and the M-Classic, will it improve the quality even further?
@@MikeAruba69No.
@@Nurix09 lol. Well that's a shame. Thanks for the help! 👍
Mamamoo! You should try it and let me know if it turns your switch to 8k😂😂
hello, I have only one question: in any case, for consoles like the PS2 or the Wii, you need an adapter to convert the output to HDMI and then insert the mclassic, am I right?
Can anyone answer me? =(
You are correct. The makers of the mclassic have a UA-cam video on their channel that shows God of War 2 on the PS2 that is connected with a component cable to a hdmi converter.
@@luke070610 Thank you
... I don't like it, it looks like a blurry mess
I really don't get why you think it's blurry, for all the games shown to me it just looked the same or crisper
Dude i wanna play DQB 2 with this so badly rn
7:13 there is one though! It’s for the nvidia only in China!
I’m wondering how this will look with Resident Evil on Gamecube compared to the official remastered release
Why is it so expensive though? There are no major differences, and I'm watching on a monitor screen.
It's not even like I'm gonna get an M classic but I just enjoy watching you talk
"If you're thinking of picking a product like this, you probably are very discerning about video signals"
I just got the 2 pack. I can't wait til they come in. Thanks Nintendrew for the heads up!
totally missed the opportunity to say it’s a “pretty nice” discount
LOL dang it
I bought a Marseille cable a couple of years ago and was pretty disappointed with the results, looks like I should have waited for this thing!
Can confirm hands on, it has really made a difference in making my Switch games look gorgeous.
i would watch his videos, and eat vietnamese food.

With my eyes I can barely tell the difference between modified and unmodified, but from how you describe it it's a pretty nifty gadget.
I clicked right away lol
Hi nintendrew love your channel keep up the great work :3 your the best (;
This device is no "upscaling" squat, it is just applying an anti-aliasing filter.
Does anything like this exist for dirtying up a signal, like simulating noise on an RF connection? I'd like to play the 360 version of Sonic CD (and other things) with proper graphics effects, waterfalls and bug wings that actually look transparent, but the 3 filter options it was released with are all too sharp.
Anyone else here from WULFF DEN?
Thanks for the 4:3 / 3:2 explanation - very interesting info!
Hanging out with your grandpa Gentry. He told me about your channel. Haha. Just subscribed. :)
Great review. Video nerd note: you could probably use its full processing mode and then tell your display that it's a 4:3 signal! My projector has 3 aspect modes, Full, 16/9, and 4/3, as well as Auto. So when I'm using a GCHD, I can force 4/3. That same behavior will work on this adapter's output, but only in full processing mode.
That retro mode seems broken for more than one reason. Let's say that for example you're watching 4:3 HD content, like some older cartoons on Amazon or Blu-Ray, the recent Batman remaster, or some Disney cartoons, whatever. The video output is still 1920x1080, 16/9, with a centered 1440x1080 4/3 image. English: The black bars are part of the image itself. 720x480 SD digital video should have an aspect flag. Should, lol. I know the GCHD gives you a fair bit of control for aspect settings. It's unfortunate that if those flags are properly set, that the mClassic is ignoring them, but like you said, the real crime is that it's not forcing the input to be recognized with non-square pixels in retro mode. Perhaps they wanted to focus on SD output, and not necessarily 4:3 output, and someone missed a memo. If it isn't doing any different processing, they'd be better served just making it an aspect ratio switch. And of course, on a lot of TVs you can still force 4:3 yourself, although you're doing that after it takes non-square pixels, makes them even wider, and then you manually squish them back down - it will only look as good as your TV's scaler.
sheik124 I bet you these people don’t even play video games especially retro games they well never get it right.
We need someone who plays these games on retro consoles who understands what to look for make these devices.
I know I know, this is a Nintendo channel, but I gotta say that I absolutely need this for my Dreamcast.
Good use of Super Paper Mario music
You know, I would set my TV to 4:3 and the mClassic to the full processing 16:9 mode, even now that they fixed the issue. I would just rather my TV fix the aspect ratio itself.
More switch footage. This looks so cool
Sonic Unleashed is 880x720 on xbox 360 and xbox one x so maybe the m classic will make it cleaner and look as clean as the xbox one x enchanced version of sonic generations .
okay I have straight questions I have Mclassic hdmi adapter. But my new TV Samsung Q700t has problems with open. SONY TV had no problems, also now my tv also has problems with the same work me Hdmi switch and now Xbox one x black screen thanks. What do you do there ????
Thanks for the great review! I ordered, as I am a total quality snob. Cheers!
A very good video! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾✌🏾😃Well done!
Is there any issue playing VC games on the Wii with the Wii set to 480p? Do they fill the screen properly or looked stretched? Or do they have he black side bars?
If I will only use the upscale mode and not the retro mode should I get this? Or is there any better product for only that?
I want it for my Nintendo Switch to make a better use of my 4K tv (even if it upscale to 1440p and not 4K)
And I heard that it can boost 1080p 30fps to 4K 30fps
Is that true?
