Ideally, you want your television itself to do this scaling, quickly turning a signal with 240 lines into an image with 1080 lines (1080p) in a way that’s so fast it doesn’t introduce any lag. Otherwise, you’ll be looking at a tiny little box surrounded by huge black borders on all sides of your screen. If you’re playing something outputting 256x240 on a modern HDTV, then something has to scale the signal up. The original Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) resolution was 256x240, meaning each screen consisted of 256 pixels horizontally and 240 pixels vertically, generally referred to as “240 lines”.

It may seem a bit weird to make such a new modern piece of technology the driver for getting way into playing old retro games, but the reason for this is a fairly good window into my mindset going into this project and I think it will help frame things.

So first, why did I even want to do this? The impetus was getting a 4K television. Well strap in folks, this sucker’s over 10,000 words for, like, Mario and stuff. Getting this entire system going was probably the dorkiest thing I’ve ever done, and that’s coming from a guy who once wrote a 5,000-word blog post about Star Wars.

I very well could be getting things wrong, and nerdbags can feel free to correct me in the comments but I don’t recommend anyone read those comments because who cares? What I did here works and that’s all I ever cared about. This is more of a For Dummies sort of guide because that’s what I am.

I didn’t want to get into the weeds on a lot of this stuff, and I had no interest in learning how to solder tiny little components together on 40-year-old gaming systems.

There are people out there who can talk to you about csync and SCART and mappers and all sorts of technical details about retro gaming, but I’m not one of those people. It’s also worth noting that I am not an expert on a lot of this stuff. I had some fairly specific goals in mind for this project and I’ve now completed all of those goals so I consider it done (with a few caveats) and thought it was time to write it up. After upgrading to a 4K TV, I decided I wanted to get a nice retro gaming setup going where I could play old video games on it. I recently completed a project that I’d been working on for a while and I wanted to share the details of how I did it in case other people might find it useful.
