I bought two DVDOs - iScan HD and Edge. But I kept only Edge, because it is a newer version and has better I/O.
I'm wondering what is better - upscaling (OSSC+DVDO) or internal HDMI mod? We are talking PS2 now...
I'm yet about to buy OSSC, so I'm making last decisions. I'm thinking that PS2 - SCART -> OSSC - HDMI -> DVDO - HDMI -> monitor. Or would Component instead of SCART be better...? But that would need YPbPr, so PS1 games would struggle.
Thanks a lot <3

So is iScan HD better or worse in comparison to Edge? Or is it even necessary (can you make OSSC upscale to 960p, but trick display into 1080p)?
I just need them for the PS2 (sometimes going to play PS1, but FMCB can change 240p to higher res)...
I can only try Edge for now, because the iScan HD uses DVI and VGA and I have only VGA-HDMI adapter, but for some reason I cant find it.
EDIT: Previous subject name "OSSC, HDMI mod, DVDOs and connections..."
Edge sometimes loses connection to component (I think) or a white "VHS-like" line appears for a split second. "Loses connection" meaning by going straight to the blue screen for a blink of an eye. Should I route the component cables away from power cables? Clean the ports? Or what's happening and can I do something? Sometime it's okay, but there was an occasion when it was truly unplayable...
The other issue is that the Edge doesn't pass audio. I plugged the RCA red and white from component to the back "STEREO" ports. Set the audio settings to pass "STEREO" to "HDMI Video", which is my HDMI that should pass (as the back printing says) both video and audio signal, but my monitor doesn't pass it via jack to my speakers. Yet when I do the same with my PS3, audio through HDMI works.
I updated the firmware on the Edge to the latest version I could find (EDGE_163_147).
