I recently got an Avermedia Live Gamer 4K to try and get 5x megadrive captures but have been pretty disappointed with the results. Setting the OSSC to 5x mode seems to crop out the overscan border around games. The main issue though is that is loses signal during scene transitions in games which is very frustrating. I guess this could be the megadrive switching resolutions and causing an issue?
Has anyone else had these issues or know a way to fix it? I have previously been using an Elgato Camlink in 4X mode with no issues.

Thanks very much for the advice. I just received a new scart cable from Retro Gaming cables today and my jailbars are finally gone! I am surprised how much of a difference this has made as my previous scart cable was supposed to also be wired to c-sync specially for the megadrive 2 (X-Eye has the same port).
If anyone else is having issues with an Avermedia live gamer capture card, I was getting lag during loading screens which caused the video and audio to cut out. I have since swapped to an Elgato Camlink which has allowed me to capture the X-Eye at 4x lines with no issues during loading screens. I’d definitely advise anyone looking to capture megadrive/genesis with an OSSC to get a camlink over a live gamer capture card.
