    I'd like to get my hands on some Sega Saturn controller connectors; or all the other proprietary connectors for that matter.

    I needed one either way as my TV only has one scart and one component


    Why not get a SCART selector switch?

    Online sellers don't really bother with describing the difference between a converter and an upscaler. A converter will do just that, convert your signal - and in my experience the output of a SCART to HDMI converter is worse than simply plugging CVBS directly to your HDTV.

    For any kind of quality, you need to use a SCART to HDMI upscaler; the defacto standard for these is the XRGB-3. If you go for a cheap upscaler you'll most likely encounter serious lag which I find to be unacceptable. In fact, even just regular HDMI adds enough lag to render my Super Metroid wall jumping skills null (on Wii U). Micomsoft also offers the XRGB-mini (Framemeister). There's a very good wiki on the XRGB-mini on junkerhq. There's also RetroRGB.com which is a mountain of information with respect to getting the best possible video quality out of retro consoles.

    It is quite the investment, and personally I haven't bought one since I play on a Trinitron through a SCART to YPbPr converter; but eventually my Trinitron will die :(/>
