Make sure the game supports vga of course. I use the following:

OREI XD-600 VGA PC/Laptop to HDMI Video Converter -Upscaler Up to 720P/1080P Converter with Audio Jack https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IUJJHAW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_TgsPDbNJCDAPV

Then finally I use the 8bit retro VGA box.

This is not the most efficient setup or the cheapest but it lets me switch easily from vga to s-video for the titles that prefer it and ensures the audio works. I recently purchased a DCHDMI but haven’t had it installed.

I think they're just different brand names for different regions, since I got mine in the UK rather than the US. The device I have looks just like the one in the video, and the box is the same too. Even the brands Tendak and Tensun sound pretty similar.

US Amazon actually has both for some reason. Weirdly the Tendak one has a slightly higher price.

I'm surprised you couldn't get a good picture out of an RGB scart console though. In theory that should be even better than S Video.

It was this one.

There are tons of connection options, the Sega (but no CD attachment) that I had came with an RF adapter instead of composite (coax cable into adapter, adapter to coax in the TV, set the channel to 3 or 4 on the adapter and then tv/vcr to channel 3 or 4) from what I could tell modern TVs couldn't read 3 or 4 and I couldn't get the RF adapter to work, so I bought a composite adapter, surprisingly it was new production.

But there are composite to HDMI adapters/upscalers too;

But it's cool to see a Sega CD hooked up in the wild!

Check your TV's manual and make sure the green connector is the one you are supposed to plug the yellow video cable into. This isn't standardized so different TVs will need a different configuration.
To answer the question about upscalers this is the gold standard but there is no reason you can't go with something cheaper like this.

So...stuff like this https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B019T0WFA4/ is just bullshit? Everyone talking about it improving Ps2 quality is just full of it, and they're just making it all up?

So I have a question, what is the difference between the plug n play and something like this?

I have a CVBS Composite & S-Video Audio to HDMI converter on my list.

I want it so I can play my N64 with Zelda games again! I no longer have a TV in my house that has the old connectors.

Gimme some Tech Daddi!

This one seems to be fairly well liked and video quality looks solid from what I've seen for a budget one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B019T0WFA4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_EOnVBbJ1TPMAV

I like the Retrotink 2X personally, it only upscales to 480p but it does so extremely well and works wonderfully with Elgato capture cards, but it's a bit pricier at $100 and is in super short supply right now.
