The ultimate Flashback is my method!  

 

But this is cool.  Any lag do to conversion?

RF to HDMI? No way! Inty RGB mod to Retrotink 2x-Scart or OSSC to HDMI is the way to go & is about as good as it gets, imho. My Inty is looking better than ever with Crayola's RGB mod. I can't recommend it enough! ?

Mods are fine but they can be really pricey, anyhow with regards to lag there really isn't very much to legitimately worry about, at least not "life or death" wise when it comes to gameplay, for me it's been a godsend after discovering this product after first trying to use an Insignia NS-DXA3 Digital-to-Analog converter box only to find out it only picks up digital TV signals and not analog.

$35 bucks on eBay. ?

The Chinese Scart to HDMI converters work well too.

 

It's not too hard to install either. Trust me, it's a game changer..pun intended!

Here is that (now-discontinued) Insignia NS-DXA3 (I still use it to get the best signal pull-in of over 65 digital TV channels all for free!!! via the rooftop antenna here at Bishop Park Apartments) that I tried to use on my gaming systems before getting my RF-to-HDMI converter, contrary to some belief, this Insignia box does not pick up any analog signals, even though you might think it would, as I did when I got mine, hence that's why I got my RF-to-HDMI interface on eBay and I turn around and I highly recommend it to all of you who don't want to mod your classic gaming systems.
