      So I used to have my OSSC and other consoles plugged into my Vp30 and it worked great. I had to replace the Ac adapter recently since that stopped working.

      Now perhaps it’s the new adapter that’s causing this, but I noticed I wasn’t getting any sound. I tried a bunch of different things. I am now noticing this bizarre issue where I can’t output a signal from Hdmi output unless a powered hdmi source is plugged into one of the Hdmi inputs. To me this sounds like a grounding issue?

      I had my PS2 hooked up to component  input on Vp30, outputting Hdmi and if I have nothing plugged into Hdmi inputs it won’t show an image. However as soon as I plug in an hdmi cable, voila. But still no audio.

      What in the world do I do lol.

        Perhaps something has blown on the TX transmitter so it’s not getting the +5v unless the other inputs are connected. That would be my wild guess, I’m not sure if you will be able to find parts to fix this nowadays though.

          I wouldn’t even know how to fix it. Or if it’s worth the cost! I’d have to get a repair place to look at it which would be $80/hr at least in my past experience.

          I’ve been holding off the Retrotink 4K for  awhile due to cost and poor Canadian dollar but I may have to cave in sooner than later, also not sure how tariffs will affect it later.

          My OSSC has been great and still works, but I think I now just need something that just plugs in and works lmao. I’m fed up with dialing and tinkering with stuff (exception being the setup of profiles for systems)

          Having that plugged in with my Vp30 was a nice combo that solved compatibility issues with signals and had good image and deinterlacing.

            Well, looks like it’s the AC adapter I bought 🙄 Tested it with my friends universal adapter that’s 5A and set it to 6V, sound is back and working normally. No idea how safe it is to use since it’s an amazon cheapo adapter lol, but hey it works better than this one I just bought that other people online pointed to as working for the Vp30!

            May need to invest in one of those amazon adapters I guess
