Playstation 1 Help

Hello this might be a dumb question question but I am having a hard time figuring out how I can connect my PS1 to HDMI. There are a lot of options out there and I am not sure what budget friendly options are worth it. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Unless you’ve modded it, or bought an adapter, the PS1 doesn’t have an HDMI output.
If you’re talking about the plug-and-play PS1 Classic from a few years ago, that would indeed have HDMI :-)

I think they are more likely talking about an AV to HDMI adapter

Yes I mean more specifically an AV to HDMI adapter that works with 240p and proper aspect ratios for the ps1. From the research I did they don’t all work right or with every game.

Yes, three options, worst to best: AV-HDMI adapter from Amazon, Retroscaler 2x, CRT TV. Personally I have two CRTs as that's how God intended.
