Tanooki Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 I wouldn't trust their review entirely, even at least this time to start, they're admitting they're fans (aka: shills) for EON at least when it comes to the Gamecube. In this case having read it they seem to be a bit more on the nose, perhaps that steep price for the level of boost it gives seems to be a good reason to pause over it. In the end it has some moderately decent clean up to work on HDMI, and if you don't want to really dig in for the true HDMI experience it's a real option over the poor original style it runs under given how modern TVs handle it. I've got the UltraHDMI, and honestly I'm kind of split on this one had I been still stuck with my stock standard system. I'm not really impressed with the level of clean up, but since it ends up working out of HDMI with some limited choices, and benefits from it running at a less likely to lag output where it's not just bad conversion but really just dependent alone on the TVs general display lag rating it's a nice choice.

dj_convoy Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Is it worth $150? Answer: no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybercylon Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 (edited) No, it is not worth that kind of money for many. There can be periods where the UltraHDMI is not available, and then you have to find someone to install it. Yet, from what I have seen, it looks like it is well worth the wait, and the price point for the EON Super 64 isn't very competitive. If one already has a retrotink or a framemeister, OEM s-video cables might be an option. That is the third of the price of the EON, and based on the video, it is hard to tell much of a difference (between the EON and the Retrotink). Maybe $99.00 is a better price, but $150.... no.
