So far we know that the device doesn't work well with consoles based on PPU RP2C02B and RP2C02D-0, supposedly the same situation with all older PPU revisions prior RP2C02D.
So it might be good to check yours console before ordering.
Various PPU revisions listed here: https://www.nesdev.org/wiki/PPU_variants
RGB Blaster works only in pair with original NTSC PPU, any clones or modded systems will not work, unless it has very accurate PPU, clocked at stock NTSC frequency.
There is no composite video output, only RGB. Make sure your TV supports RGB via SCART input.
With regular carts sometimes you have to press reset after power on. Using flashcarts eliminate this problem.
It happens because some games begins writes to PPU instantly after power on, while RGB Blaster hardware needs a few more milliseconds to wake up and be ready to work.
