I've bought this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/UK-EU-SCA...hash=item2106c8c48e:m:mTjjyw5yFryu5nLNwk2optg
I know that is not the best option, but by the feedback, in 720p the lag is minimal so i'm going to try it.
I'll like to buy OSSC, but i'll wait for a DIY kit to get it cheaper

It's really not worth it from the research I've done. It really depends on your TV and how it handles upscaling. At most this will turn a bad TV into an average one from the reviews and the testings I've seen.
I've heard that quality on those units is totally ass. I've also tried a Gonbes GBS8200 myself, and it's ass as well. I really miss my 1084S...
The real issue, that most people completely skim over, is response time and aspect ratio.
Old TVs were 5:4. It upscales like ass on any 16:9 TV. Also, most of these units introduce skipped frames, which totally kill the smoothness of many 50hz games.
I have to test it, because my new tv doesnt have scart and only have composite and component adapter.
The composite adapter dont accept rgb signal and i was searching a lot for a scart to component adapter and its too expensive, so, i know that the quality are not the best, i am more concern about the lag input and for the fact i can play my retro consoles on the new tv.
BTW my new tv is a Samsung UE40KU6000K
Let me know what you think of it, but I'm pretty sure you'll have a bad time. Lag input is pretty bad with those as well.
If I were in you I'd save a bit of money and buy an OSSC, I've heard those are excellent. That's what I'm gonna do myself.
Also the new model will have a direct output to HDMI so I have heard, so you won't need an adapter 
Necrobumping this because anyone looking at the discussions here involving the Framemeister and the OSSC should know that they're going to stop making the Framemeister after 2017. The IC they use which is Marvell's "Kyoto G-2" is being phased out and won't be produced anymore and with no prospects of a replacement they cannot keep making the scaler. This coming year may be the last one where you can find them easily because after they get their last yearlong shipment in February there will be no restocks therefore preventing them from making any more Framemeisters. In addition Micomsoft has no plans to release a new model and shareholders are saying that it may be the last of the XRGB line. The "Rolls Royce" of scalers is about to get a rarity pricehike. If you're choosing between the two this is your last chance because the Framemeister XRGB mini may become harder to find.

@Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.+1 -

They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

@SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme -

A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."+1 -

anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media+1
if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them -
@
BigOnYa:
Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

@BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.
The issue is DRM -
@
cearp:
You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60
