      Not really seeing my batch number?

      As far as I know, there isn’t any kind of list that shows what numbers belong to what batch.

      The current batch is #2, and the following one will be #3. Based on this thread and the email updates, the first batch ended with number 164, and the current batch should cover through number 664. I think the final number will most likely be lower than that.

      If you don’t know your number, there’s instructions to figure it out in the first post of this thread.

        As far as I know, the vast majority of SNES games output 240p. (I think RPM Racing is one of the VERY few titles that use the hi-res interlaced video mode) N64, PS1 and Saturn can go either 240p or 480i, sometimes even within the same game. I think pretty much anything after that is strictly 480i/p.

          Slightly off topic, do you mean the Elgato Game Capture HD? The one with analog inputs as well as HDMI? If so, I’m curious how you go about capturing 240p. As far as I know, it encodes 240p content as 480i before it even reaches the computer. And, of course, it won’t capture 240p over component so that limits it to composite and s-video. I have to then run the content through an avisynth script to deinterlace it and get it back to 240p.
          Also, since it encodes it in 4:2:0, the color resolution is garbage by the time I get it back to 240p (I convert it to 480p/720p in avisynth, depending on what I need it for, to keep further color degradation to a minimum), flickering up and down since the capture was originally interlaced. They say their device supports “240i,” which isn’t a thing (and also indicates they really don’t know what they’re talking about) but the fact that it automatically turns it into 480i means it supports it like most HDTVs do– poorly.

          In any case, do you do something similar when dealing with 240p source material, or is there an easier way to do this?

          This is one big reason I can’t wait to get an OSSC. I want to be able to capture 240p content in a better way.

            If the most recent email is any indication, the upcoming batch (500 units) should cover through number 664 (The 164 already processed + the upcoming batch of 500). So I would say if your number is 664 or under, you should expect to be part of this batch.

            Don’t take this as an official statement. I’m just going by what information I have.
