Ok, hooking up old consoles and the like is my forte.

First off, Power. Your massive big tower of stuff is pretty unneccesary. According to a quick google, it uses a 5.5mm 2.1mm barrel plug, centre positive, with 9v and pulls ~750mA. The image on the PSU says 11v though, so I'm not 100%.

That should solve that though.

SCART actually has a lot of pins. It can carry stereo sound, composite video (the yellow thing) and RGB.
RGB splits all three colours into 3 different wires, giving you a sharp image. Composite combines them all into one.
RGB as a signal is not PAL nor NTSC, that only applies to composite video.
Composite video is a separate output on a separate pin from the console. In order to convert RGB to Composite, you need a fairly expensive encoder. Hopefully this won't be necessary.
For all intents and purposes, ignore the Component to HDMI and composite to HDMI cables. They seem like snake oil, and are 99% of the time.
According to this page, the GX4000 has a standard scart output. This means it outputs both RGB, and PAL Composite.
Now the weird thing with scart is that it's bi-directional. This means you can have two signals running through a scart cable. It also means that you have to have your things switched correctly.
The thing on the right in this image is your best bet. Ignore the s-video output, and focus on the red, white, and yellow. These are left and right audio, and PAL composite video. Make sure it is switched to Output.
Also on this image, you have a PAL to NTSC converter. Plug the output of the scart adapter I mentioned into the input of that, set the box to NTSC, and then plug the output of that box into your TV. Make sure that box is powered.
If that doesn't work, try different combinations of those two switches until it does.
If it still doesn't work, then the GX4000 doesn't actually output composite video, and it's a lot more complicated.

Tell me how you get on with that, if it doesn't work I'll try another approach.
I do have them, just forgot to put them back on for the picture. I need to replace the switches under the pedals, I just haven't gotten around to it yet. I'm also a little reticent to do so, since they are SMD (surface mount) switches, and I'm not quite comfortable with that yet. I also had to make my own power supply for it. I used this power supply (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00J356DB8/) cut off the barrel and put on one from this power supply (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CP1QLSC).

I have the exact board, and I also had issues powering it from a USB port. I'm currently using this power supply and have had 0 issues so far. I highly recommend a supply like this because it easily plugs into a solderless breadboard and can supply both 3.3v and 5v simultaneously. I combined it with this AC adapter. It's 9v, but the voltage regulators on the power supply will burn off the extra voltage as heat.
So now you can omit the voltage wire from the FTDI chip, but you still need a ground wire to go from the FTDI chip to the breadboard's ground.
Also, buy a multimeter if you don't already have one.
I didn't believe it. But there it is. Someone fooked up.
