Reply To: OSSC v1.xx series beta firmware
Hi Marqs, I thought I’d let you know that firmware 1.06 is working great on my OSSC 1.6 after doing the HW mod. The only things I noticed that weren’t working correctly was setting the sampling phase for optimised modes, and setting TX mode to YCbCr444 (limited range).
The phase seems to only have 4 set values that you can cycle through regardless of changing it from 0-348 deg. And limited range now just displays a pink tint over the image.
Also, setting the phase seems to be inconsistent and shifts from sharp to blurry at varying degrees when you change the horizontal backporch. I haven’t had a lot of time to test things thoroughly, but these are just a few things I noticed.
I suppose the only other thing is that for Line6x you can’t select it using the hotkey for LINEMULT_MODE on the remote, so you have to go into the output settings instead, though that’s very minor.
Edit: I think the phase isn’t being displayed correctly until you adjust the horizontal backporch, that’s why it seemed inconsistent. Though I have no idea why this is the case.
I took two screenshots in Line6x of Spyro 1 running on my PS2 Slim as an example. In the first screenshot, I set the phase to 0 deg but you can see some faint artefacts. And then in the second screenshot, I adjusted the horizontal backporch (changing it to 89 and back to 88) and the artefacts are gone, with the phase set correctly. Which is odd, as the settings for both screenshots are exactly the same, so there shouldn’t be any differences between them – I never had this issue on the 0.90 firmware.
