Its a good way to see how capable one's TV is. I did a similar test to see what my screen would look like. The scan lines are pretty cool too. It was enough for me to green light a physical mod on my TV for RGB and to get my NES done as well.
It might have been me trying to compensate the camera's lack of quality. But I can tell you that in real life the RGB picture is not oversaturated, unlike composite video.
Scanlines can only be seen with 60 Hz video. If you live in Europe, then 50 Hz is the default video mode of retro videoconsoles. This was my case as well: I hadn't ever noticed scanlines until I had the PC with the VGA to SCART adapter working.
I'm not sure. I think I was using FCEUX 2.2.3 with default settings, which happens to be 'Old PPU' (being 'New PPU' the other option). I'm afraid I don't know what they really are.
I was about to enter in technical details but I eventually changed my mind and limited the video content to gameplay. The converter I soldered myself uses this custom cable scheme which doesn't require an external power source: i.imgur.com/nKtxnPz.png I would record more CRT footage if I had an actually suitable camcorder. Unfortunately, most brand new cameras in my place seem to support 50p mode instead of 60p. Anyway, thanks for your interest.

Boa
The color palette looks much saturated

Might have to turn the tint up a bit so it gets close to the purple-ish sky Miyamoto intended it to be.
i enjoy the look of RF much better. retro games dont need such crisp display
I cannot see scanlines :( even on my crt tv.

How come the colors are so good?
Much better than what cameras can capture.
Is this NESRGB or PC10 PPU?

You didn't even show the damn vga converter.
