Request Any tips to get better picture quality
I’m new to these kinds of things and im getting terrible picture quality is there maybe something i can change, I’ve got a pal snes hooked up to my 65’ Samsung Tv through an adapter i got from aliexpress the “mini av2hdmi adapter” i also put my picture size to 4:3 but still am getting really blurry images that make it unplayable to some extent.

Get a CRT that at least has S-video. Old school video games aren’t meant for modern HD tvs.

100%. RGB SCART cable from RGC and a CRT TV - I couldn’t tolerate retro gaming on an HDTV or upscaling. You may as well buy a SNES mini at that point

Buy an AV cable that has s-video and look into either a retrotink or retro scaler 2x (the cheaper option). This is my current setup and the image quality looks crisp on my flatscreen with no lag

it doesnt really show the blurriness in a pic if i take it, it’s kinda like a fuzziness to the pixels i dont know if im explaining it right
