What about a converter paired with a normal HDMI Roku? This will provide better quality than using a composite input and allow you to use the Roku of your choice.

Edit: To clarify, this is only if your TV has component inputs (RGB) not just composite.
Yes:

To hook a Raspberry Pi 4 system up to a CRT (for retro gaming obviously), is it as simple as getting an HDMI to Component converter like this?
HDMI -> Component video converter worked like a charm. I now have 720p IN, converted to 1080i OUT
Strongly recommend this bit of hardware for anyone hooking up current-gen consoles to Component Video-IN displays. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B017LVMAWG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Boring explanation of what it can do:
It will actively send a test signal output + UI when console is not currently sending any video signal. The UI (which will auto-timeout once video signal is coming from console) shows what resolution and framerate is coming IN, and being sent OUT. There's a Video button on the device, which will cycle through different viewable resolutions (!). It's surprisingly cool, highly recommended.
For 480i there are lots of downscalers you could use, old pro stuff like the Extron VSC series, most of which can do RGB formats, can also use cheapo HDMI to component up/downscaler boxes like https://www.amazon.com/Universal-Premium-Quality-Component-Converter/dp/B017LVMAWG
For 240p things get a lot trickier. Can sort of fake it by 480i -> 240p through some Extron RGB interface boxes, there are some fancy pro downscalers like a Corio2 that can do it directly with some programming, those are pretty expensive though.
Ideal MAME machine would be a PC that you can run CRT Emudriver on to get perfect resolution / refresh rates for any emulated system, arcade stuff often uses weird stuff that's not the usual 240p/288p.
I’m using this one.

I’ve only tested it with 16x9 with 1080p and 720p input and 1080i and 480i output. All at 60hz. It seems to work ok and I’ve only had it for a couple of weeks. I have had to power cycle it here and there because it doesn’t always work right. And I get a flicker super rare but no telling if it’s this thing or my tv.
Sorry, new to this but hope that helps.
Well I use this converter (linked below). After a short review/study of that converter do you still think it’d be worth doing? If so I might give it a try. Also I can set the games resolution to divide evenly into 1080i. Wouldn’t that be easier?

Just make sure that the hdmi to component adapter has selectable resolutions.
The chromecast doesn't have any way to select output resolutions and will just switch the the highest resolution the adapter can handle, which will be 1080p.
I know from experence that this one worked on my dad's pre-hdmi 720p/1080i projector set.

I know for a fact from trying these will NOT work on a tv that can't handle 1080p over component.
