I have recently developed the retro gaming fever. It all started with the Analogue 3D. Then I got the Analogue Pocket. Today I just picked up a Dreamcast, and I really want to dust off my old PS2, PS3, and Wii systems now.

I have looked into HDMI mods for the Wii and Dreamcast, but I would prefer something like the RetroTink that will get everything up and running now. I am generally tech savvy, but all of these different cables and options have my head spinning. I just want to feel a bit more confident in my decision before I purchase one thing when I should have gotten another.

I have two primary questions:

• Is the 4k pro worth it over the CE for the systems I listed? I understand that the 4k pro is more flexible with firmware upgrades. But I have also read that with proper profiles most of these systems look identical between the two. I will be playing on an 85" Sony television that is a handful of years old now, but supports HDR and 4k.
• Which cables should I go for? From what I've read I should do
  • PS2 -> SCART
  • Wii -> Component
  • Dreamcast -> VGA

The systems I will want to hook up

• Now
  • PS2 (also play PS1 backward compatible)
  • Wii (also play GC games)
  • Dreamcast
• Eventually
  • PS3
  • Xbox
  • ?
