Reply To: OSSC Handshake Issues + Audio Question
I took the audio extractor out of the chain and ran Death Crimson for three hours with no issues, but it’s not something I’ve been able to reproduce too often (not that I want to, since i’m dum and don’t know if i’m somehow damaging anything). I was able to get the handshake issue consistently on this one particular screen of Mushihimesama Futari’s menu (X360 component 480p) a while ago:
The green line seen here can sometimes show up alongside handshake issues for a frame or two at a time. I first saw it on my LGP’s output and not on my monitor, but in this case, it actually showed up on the monitor too – and continued showing up even after removing everything after my monitor’s HDMI out, at which point I didn’t know what to blame (unless lasting damage is possible over a simple HDMI port?). I can’t quite rule out something dumb like a loose DVI cable on the OSSC side, but again, kinda scared to test.
The PSX cable was from the UK seller, not Retro-Access, so I’m pretty sure it uses the 220 μF resistors. Either way, I got it in March 2017 according to receipts. As for the switcher, yeah, that was how I assumed the Bandridge worked, but I wanted some confirmation if anyone had it. I know about the gscartsw supporting component, but I’m asking more for using a PC-98 over AV3. If all else fails, there is an Analog RGB -> JP21 cable for it that’s advertised for Framemeister usage, but it’s a computer, so I’d rather use VGA and save a SCART slot for something else.
