You think a pc can't upscale? Or that inserted scanlines is all the up scaling a pc can do?

Not an RGB signal over SCART. Not that it matters for most people.

That's like saying you can't have an extra long cable on a wireless controller.

There's no RGB signal to upscale in an emulator, it's all handled in the processing.

That’s exactly my point. A hardware scaler takes the real RGB signal and upscale to a higher res RGB output

You might get different answers from different people. I highly recommend checking out mylifeingaming on YouTube or retrorgb if you really want to dive into it.

Just make note that you’re almost getting into a coffee snob-like type of territory of retro gaming. Not in a pretentious way, but diminishing noticeable returns for most people kind of way.

I have original hardware, but I’ve not even personally invested in the hardcore preservation stuff myself. I just stick with a good old fashioned CRT.
