There are two 4k capable scalers announced for retro games:
There is also the OSSC Pro, but the details are sparse and we haven't had too many updates about it.
PixelFX has lost any and all respect that I had for them and almost made me want to sell my PS1Digital modded system just to be rid of owning anything they've touched. Their announcement video for the Retro GEM took the piss on Digital Foundry by doing a cringe-inducing "parody" called "Digital Infidelity" and was wildly inappropriate. Couple that with the news that the GEM would have DRM on the extra features for an additional $80 once you bought the device and it left a very sour taste in my mouth.
Prior to their terrible announcement, I was determined on buying what ended up being GEM as I could get HDMI out right from a PS2 I bought specifically for that mod and now I won't bother.
Thank you for the info, I can now understand your reaction :).
Goddamn that "Digital Infidelity" video was cringey as fuck
