Marseille’s mClassic Comes To The Rescue Of Nintendo’s Switch
It's a must-have accessory if you plan on playing retro games on a modern TV.
This is an excellent stocking stuffer for any Nintendo Switch fan.”
While I was at a friend's house that I noticed how blurry and jagged Switch games looked on a 4K display minus the mClassic.
I can’t believe I am saying this but great job Marseille it doesn’t go down like this often, but you shocked us!
Best Nintendo Switch Accessory to level up your gaming experience while docked and gaming on the TV
Revive your favorite games on the big screen
mClassic Original
A proprietary video processor with sophisticated algorithms for detection and retrofitting gaming content for optimum visual experience on your large TV, with a mode switch you can use for fine tuning to your display capabilities.
Enhanced Picture
CLEAR. SHARP. COLORFUL.
The mClassic graphics processor enhances every pixel on the fly with no lag time. It will up-scale gameplay from 480p up to 1440p60 on supported monitors. Our anti-aliasing algorithm delivers amazing results without causing a known blurring effect in graphics, especially on the sharp edges and small textures.
Nintendo Switch
ENHANCED TV MODE
In Dock Mode, mClassic will up-scale gameplay up to 1440p60 on supported monitors. To get the optimal performance, set-up your Nintendo Switch to output 720p, its native built-in graphic performance, then enable the mClassic, and you will see astonishing results on a 4K or even 1080p TV or monitor.
Retro on Modern Displays
It will up-scale gameplay from 480p up to 1440p60 on supported monitors. To get the optimal performance you'll need a third party legacy connection to HDMI converter. Various consoles have devices specifically designed to get HDMI output on retro consoles.
Easy to Use
HDMI PLUG AND PLAY
Plug mClassic into an HDMI port on your source device (game console/dock). An HDMI extension cable is provided, if needed. Connect the other end to an HDMI cable. Connect the HDMI cable to a TV/Monitor. Power the device with the included Micro-USB cable plugged into an available USB port or AC adapter.
Optimal Gameplay
YOU'RE IN CONTROL
The mClassic is equipped with an external sliding switch located on the side of the device for easy operation. Choose one of the three modes for optimal gameplay.
Zero-Lag Processing
ENHANCED GAMEPLAY. ZERO-LAG.
Input lag is critical for gaming, and the mClassic ensures real time processing with virtually no delay. It enhances graphics without adding any latency to the gaming experience.
Powered by Algorithms
The mClassic Original uses advanced algorithms optimized for a more immersive gaming experience on the big screen with video game consoles. It maintains the hallmark of Marseille processing: zero lag time
Take Full Control
Easily fine-tune the visuals with the external sliding switch, selecting from three algorithmic processing modes —one is sure to suit your setup, including your Nintendo Switch and Retro console, and large screen display.
01
Pass-Thru Mode: This mode doesn’t provide any up-scaling or anti-aliasing. Processing is off allowing you to experience your games as is.
TIPS: This mode turns processing off without having to unplug your mClassic. So it shows the value of having it there in the first place.
02
Switch Mode : From handheld to big screen, the mClassic enhances game graphics in real-time, reducing visual artifacts on 4K TVs. Our built-in processor delivers high performance Anti-Aliasing, 1440p Up-Scaling, Depth of Field Processing, and Image Sharpening for better pixels.
TIPS: We recommend setting your console to its native resolution for optimal performance.
03
Retro Mode: Improves retro graphics in real-time by minimizing visual artifacts that are often visible on modern displays. The integrated processor provides high-performance Anti-Aliasing, 1440p Up-Scaling, Depth of Field Processing, and Image Sharpening for enhanced clarity. Additionally, it supports a 4:3 aspect ratio, preserving the authentic look and feel of classic games.
TIPS: 6th Gen Console Games look fantastic in Retro Mode on high-end 4K TVs.

Key Features
Upscaling
A high-performance scaler aims to create high resolution images from low resolution sources that are visually indistinguishable from native high resolution images. Our scaler delivers an exceptional performance from 1/2 million pixels to 2 million pixels (SD to HD) and 2 million to 8 million pixels (HD to 4K Cinema) with no compromises on color processing. The result is the cleanest and clearest image for both modern, and legacy content.
Anti-Aliasing
The images on your TV, VR or monitor are made of tiny squares called pixels. But real-life objects have rounded edges. This conflict causes images to shimmer or appear "jaggy", a stair-step looking edge from square pixels trying to create a curve. Our anti-aliasing algorithm delivers amazing results without causing a known blurring effect in graphics, especially on the sharp edges and small textures.
Depth of Field
One technique that many photographers use to add a “wow factor” to their images is to shoot with a shallow depth of field. In doing so they isolate part of the shot which is nicely in focus while throwing elements in the background (and sometimes the foreground) out of focus and into a lovely blur. Our depth of field algorithm takes on the challenge of identifying both foreground and background aspects of the image and determines the relevant zone of interest to create the best possible picture in real time.
Sharpening
Graphic video processors typically focus on either the “sharpness” or “naturalness” of an image. mClassic ensures the image is in perfect balance. Our advanced real-time algorithms deliver a stunningly beautiful picture with color clarity and details exactly as intended by the game developer.
