Consultancy services
Are you planning an AV installation, upgrade or service for your home or do you work for an AV installer? Will your installation be including video games consoles or a gaming PC, either modern or retro? If so, you should be aware that while most reputable installers know their trade inside out when it comes to video and TV, many of them are less knowledgeable when it comes to video games. Drawing on the experience gained running Videogameperfection.com and with a range of contacts throughout the hardcore gaming communities, I can work together with your AV installer to ensure that you get the best, no compromise solution for playing your videogames and watching your movies, TV and other video material.
If gaming is important to you, don’t compromise
Video games systems have a different set of considerations from movie and TV content and these need to be taken into account if you want the best possible setup. Factors such as input lag are easily compensated for when watching non-interactive content but can be a disaster when playing games. Your installer may recommend a video processor for your high end AV installation, which is a fantastic addition to a home theatre, but often causes undesirable amounts of input lag when playing videogames and is therefore better bypassed when using a games console. For complex retro and modern gaming setups, multiple processors and large switching solutions are often needed and this is where my expertise can be invaluable.
Examples of issues and solutions I can consult on
Input lag – Testing, minimising and avoiding – Adjusting for input lag or display lag in the world of movies and television simply means delaying the audio input until the picture and sound are in sync, but this isn’t acceptable for videgames.
Integrating PCs into your gaming setup – A properly configured PC system goes well beyond the graphical capabilities of current generation games consoles. However, PCs are much more flexible machines than consoles and so require more forethought on how to best integrate them into a gaming setup, especially one that is intended to be child or spouse friendly!
Emulation vs. Genuine hardware – What are the advantages of running original hardware vs. simply emulating? Which platform should you choose for your emulator?
Implementing switching solutions – For the ultimate games room setup using the original hardware, implementing a switching solution can be challenging. How can you keep clutter down but avoid the inconvenience of cable swapping?

I am trying to get an Amiga 500 r5 to display NTSC video on an HDMI monitor. I tried two different SCART cables which behave differently. One gives a greyscale image of the boot “floppy and hand” screen while the second SCART cable gives a “nice black screen”. An HD SCART to HDMI converter connects them to the monitor. What am I doing wrong? Can you “un-screw” this for me?

Bonjour, je voudrais savoir pour une NeoGeo AES Jap avec cable RCA jaune blanc, quel configuration avec l’OSSC ? Un cable SCART, ou RCA suffit ?
No response for OSSC after use 12v dc PSU, can it repair for this problem ?
Please e-mail in with your order number.
I have a model 1 Sega Genesis unit. I re-tensioned the cartridge slot pins a little too tight. The games played fine (but went in extremely hard), however I believe that since they were touching the Sega CD I have would not turn on. Since the pins were touching, I think that it thought there was a game in there.
Long story short I’m pretty sure I ruined the cartridge slot trying to fix the issue. I have a replacement slot, but I’m a not a great solderer. Being that it’s 64 solder points, I don’t want to attempt it. Is this something you can do? If so how much will it cost?
Thanks!
Yes we can do this, please e-mail in for more details.
Hi All, I just got the OSSC but w/o the remote. I connected it to ps2 via SCART RGBS to display on a Samsung 65″ OLED TV, video and sound shows up well. However I want to enable scanlines. I press BTN1 but OSSC lcd display has no reaction. Tried pressing few times and holding BTN1 down for 5secs but still no option appear to configure the scanlines. Is getting the remote compulsory to access the advanced features of ossc? Thanks in advance for any help.
Remember PS2 displays in 480i, don’t expect 480i scanlines to look the same as 240p scanlines.
You will need the remote to access the advanced features, yes.
So the OSSC page says now in stock but when i try to order it says not in stock….is it not in stock and you just forgot to update the page or am i experiencing an error?
It’s in stock everything apart from remote overlays.
I understand the OSSC has no RCA inputs. Is it possible to use a RCA to VGA cable on the OSSC?
Possible, but unlikely to give good results.
