Marseille mClassic OG - Gaming Resolution Upscaler and Image Enhancer for Nintendo Switch, Retro Consoles Like Xbox, PlayStation, Gamecube, N64, Wii, SNES, and More - Supports 1440p/60hz

I recently bought a PS3 slim to play some older and exclusive games that simply aren't available on other consoles. However after playing for a few minutes I was disgusted at how truly awful the graphics are. I read about the MClassic and watched some YouTube videos so decided to give it a try and I have to say I’m quite Impressed.While playing GTA IV, a roughly 640p native game I noticed an immediate improvement to AA (Anti-Aliasing) and also an overall improvement in the picture detail as the MClassic upscales games from 720p or lower to 1080p. It can upscale to 1440p but my TV isn’t compatible. I seen a slight improvement to draw distance and sharpness but definitely not as much as my Sony TV’s “Reality creation” feature. When both the MClassic and the Sony TV’s super sampling work together you get a truly amazing picture. I recommend if you can run both the MClassic and some of your TV’s picture quality features then you absolutely should, but only if you can run this while in game mode. If your TV doesn’t have any options while in game mode then the MClassic on its own will still do a lot of the heavy lifting and will improve contrast, AA and upscaling, which is ideal. Remember to set your console to match that specific games resolution, so for example if your game runs at 720p, which almost all PS3 games do, then go into the PlayStation display settings and untick the 1080p and 1080i. This is so the PlayStation doesn’t use its own awful upscaling and instead it lets the MClassic do all the work. People online also said to change the option of RGB to limited, but I found no real difference between limited or full however you may see something different on your display.In terms of price it is an expensive product but if you are planning on playing an older console for a considerable amount of time then I would say it’s worth it and also your eyes will really thank you. If you’re simply dipping your toe in with the older consoles and only want to play a single game for a brief time, then maybe this isn’t for you as the enhancements can vary from game to game and you wouldn’t truly get the full benefit from the MClassic.One thing that’s slightly disappointing is the fact you have to power up the device instead of just running it via the HDMI port. This is of course necessary but it does leave a red wire sticking out the front of your console, at least for the PS3 Slim, which only has 2 USB’s on the front. As someone who hates wires sticking out this just isn’t ideal, but for me a worth while trade off for the picture quality it provides. You can put the usb into a compatible plug however I didn’t test this as I don’t have spare slot available. I did however try to put the usb into another console to power it that way and hide the wire but it simply wouldn’t work. The TV displayed a no signal, but when I put the USB back into the PS3 it instantly displayed on screen.Overall a solid improvement that excels in AA and upscaling to make your picture much more detailed and nicer on the eye. The draw distance and sharpness aren’t as impressive as an expensive TV’s super sampling tech, but if you can combine both then you will get a truly beautiful, clear and graphically enhanced image that makes its a joy to go back to older consoles and experience games at their absolute best.

The Mclassic is a very clever device. It honestly does make devices look better on my 2k monitor when they themselves are at 1080p. I’m mainly using it for my Nintendo switch. It removes allot of the jagged edges and makes games look closer to a 2k image. The only down side I have noticed is when the switch is undocked and then docked the graphics can have white dots where some shiny/reflective textures should be, however a few docking attempts tend to solve it, this could even be my dock, lead or monitor not playing nicely, Which is why I’m sticking with 5 stars. Yes it’s not 100% crisp like native 2k but expecting it to be is unrealistic, it is upscaling and a lot of games use variable resolution to maintain frame rates. I haven’t noticed any lag and (for me) keeping it docked has had no issues other than great visuals.

If you're playing older consoles on a higher-resolution monitor or TV, the Marseille mClassic Pixel Enhancer can genuinely make a significant difference. I've personally used it with my Nintendo Switch, PS3, Xbox 360, and even my Wii (in conjunction with an OSSC or other HDMI adapter, as the Wii lacks native HDMI out).It's important to set realistic expectations: I won't claim it delivers a monumental, immediate improvement to every single game you play. The results are quite variable. In some games, the enhancement is massively noticeable, making a real impact on visual clarity. In others, you might genuinely wonder if it's doing anything at all.Where the mClassic truly shines is with games that lack strong Anti-Aliasing (AA). As primarily a PC gamer, the jarring "jaggies" in some older PS3 and Xbox 360 titles can make them genuinely difficult to look at on a modern screen. The mClassic does an impressive job of smoothing out these jagged edges, making for a much more palatable and immersive visual experience. For more modern games that already incorporate good AA and have less cluttered graphics, the difference might be less pronounced, though it can still subtly enhance colors and add definition to distant objects.If you're considering purchasing this device, my strongest recommendation is to watch some comparison videos online, ideally for the specific console and games you intend to use it with. This will give you the best idea of the potential impact. Additionally, if you primarily play on a TV, it's worth checking if your television already includes similar upsampling technologies. Many modern TVs have excellent built-in upscalers, and in such cases, adding the mClassic might not yield as dramatic benefits as it would on a monitor or a TV that lacks such advanced upscaling features.Overall, I use the mClassic any time I'm playing a 1080p or lower-resolution console on my higher-resolution display to achieve nicer visuals. A standout feature is the physical rocker switch on the mClassic itself, allowing you to conveniently toggle between modes (including disabling the post-processing entirely). This makes it incredibly easy to compare the effect it has on a given game or console on the fly, letting you quickly decide whether you want to use it in a specific scenario without having to physically remove cables.It's not a magical "silver bullet" that will transform every game into a modern masterpiece, but when used in the right context and with the right expectations, the Marseille mClassic can certainly make a huge and worthwhile difference to your retro and last-gen gaming experience.
