As you'll see in the video, I used Power Stone on Dreamcast as a test case, sending a 480p signal via HDMI using a Toro VGA box connected to an OSSC - which simply passes that 640x480 resolution through to the mClassic over HDMI. Many of the changes I saw on the Nintendo Switch were relatively subtle but did make the images prettier to look at. It sits between the display and the media source, and once it is powered up, it allows you to choose the setting that best suits your needs from the toggle switch on the side and you are ready to go.

It creates a smudged, rounded effect on some corners, and at points the stair-stepping is evened out to a straight line. Also the texture detail on his shirt, the sheikah slate and other items has a clearer definition between colors and sharper edges.While the Switch looks great in the dock, many of the games simply do not have the resources to compete with the PS4 or Xbox One, and this is where the MClassic shines. Taking OutRun as an example, the Sega Ages port on Saturn is given the works; sharpening, intelligent focus, and even anti-aliasing is applied to its 2D pixel art.

On BoTW Link: Observe the handle of the weapon over his right shoulder as well his bracer on his right arm where the transition between the pixels on link and the background are smoother. Rocket League runs with a dynamic 720p framebuffer, where the contextual anti-aliasing helps smooth over jagged edges more effectively than a 1080p source. Delivering anti-aliasing, 4K up-scaling as well as a bevy of post-processing effects like image sharpening and depth of field enhancement, it is the graphics card upgrade Nintendo Switch gamers have been waiting for.All round the mClassic is a respectable step up in ambition from the mCable, though the claims being made for its capabilities do seem somewhat overstated based on the actual results we got back from the device in our own testing. With the third toggle position, the mClassic gives you 4:3 output for all retro content while enhancing visuals.
