      Hi there,

      I've been running various Retropies over the years, mainly a Pi3 B. Right now I connected it via composite and a SCART adapter to an old CRT TV.
      I stumbled upon the Pi2SCART, but can't really tell how this would improve anything? Can anyone tell me how, if and why the picture quality would improve (or not)? Thank you :)

        The picture quality would certainly improve, since the Pi2Scart outputs RGB directly, which is better than the composite output. Check out some comparison analysis on the RetroRGB site that touches on the difference.

          I see! The screenshots from your link really do show the difference. Thank you!
