I have the image disappearing every 30 seconds, what should I do?

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I have an issue with my OSSC: the image disappears every 30 seconds as shown in this video: https://imgur.com/a/nSrQcww

For your information, I am in Europe, so I had to connect my PS2 (composite) via a Retrotink 2x bought on AliExpress (this model: https://www.aliexpress.com/w/wholesale-retrotink-2x.html). If I connect the PS2 directly to the Retrotink 2x, I don’t have this problem (but the image is horrible). I followed the instructions to connect the Retrotink to the OSSC: https://imgur.com/a/yz6C6nG

I admit that I’ve been testing various systems to connect my PS2 to my OLED TV C2 42 for almost 6 months, and I finally managed to get a quality image… In short, I am desperate because these screen interruptions are exasperating.

Thank you in advance.

Yeah that’s not a RetroTINK lol.

Why would you want to connect a PS2 to an OSSC like that? buy some component cables or an RGB cable.

Can you link the cable I need to buy to connect my ps2 to the ossc, i’ve been struggling for so looong. My PS2 has yellow white red cables.

When you get component or RGB SCART cable for the PS2, you’ll not need to connect any of the video cables you’re currently using. Not only will that allow you to bypass the Retro Scaler altogether and connect the PS2 directly to the OSSC, but give you substantially higher picture quality. Hopefully it might also solve the problems with the picture dropping out, although that may be caused by some other issue.

Retro Gaming Cables is a UK manufacturer that sells very high quality cables for the PS2 and other consoles. Note that I can’t find any information on them being registered with IOSS for handling sales tax upon sale for shipping to countries in the EU, in which case you need to pay local VAT and import duties as well as expect longer delivery times.

Kaico Labs is a UK supplier that imports products from both third party brands and directly from ODM manufacturers sold under Kaico’s own brand. They too sell component cables for the PS2. Those are substantially cheaper than those made by Retro Gaming Cables, but I don’t know how good they are. They may also be out of stock now. Kaico Labs is however registered with IOSS and handles sales tax for shipping to countries in the EU.

Option 1) Retro Gaming Cables Component cable

Option 3) Kaico Labs Component cable

Sony Playstation 3 Component & Composite Display Cable

I’d go with component cables as they are a bit more practical and have some technical advantages. Note that before using them you need to make sure the PS2 is set to output YPbPr in the system menu in order to get a picture.
