      Samsung UN55J620DAF
      Tested in game mode with SHVC-CPU-01 board SNES via SCART using an assortment of games and 240p Test Suite
      2x works perfect
      3x works, slightly window boxed and colors a little washed out. Also switches TV out of game mode
      4x stretched picture, window boxed, washed out color, switches TV out of game mode
      5x works, switches TV out of game mode, muffled audio, slight overscan, cuts 3 pixels off the top, 5 off the bottom, and 1 off the left
      Manual input lag test shows about 1 frame input lag

      EDIT:
      This is using HDMI 1 input, HDMI 2 yields slightly better results with better game mode support, but not enough for me to switch and have the terrible results my PC has on HDMI 1.

      EDIT 2:
      After doing some tweaking to the OSSC’s advanced sampling options and the TV settings I’ve got all modes working nice. The washed out color and muffled audio was because of the TV changing modes, changing the settings in that mode got the picture and sound back to normal. 3x is still slightly window boxed and 4x/5x are still slightly stretched, but not enough to really matter. I’ve been playing in 5x and it looks/plays incredible.

      Edit 3:
      After some more tweaking advanced sampling options on the OSSC I’ve got 4x to display in the correct aspect ratio.

        Yup, everything is where it should be now. I’m really glad it didn’t cause any bigger problems. I should probably contact Retro Access to let them know. I’m perfectly happy with the cable otherwise, looks reasonably well made and no audio/video noise at all.

          So after comparing pinouts it turns out the SCART cable was wired wrong. The wires going to pins 18 and 20 were swapped. After some quick work with the soldering iron it’s up and running beautifully! Thanks for the help troubleshooting this!

            Ahhh, so even if i get a composite signal through SCART with the N64/GC it won’t tell me anything since that doesn’t use the csync anyways. When I get home from work I’ll restore the OSSC settings and take a multimeter to the cable. I’m sure one of my friends has to have another SNES laying around that I could try as well.

              Hi, thanks for the reply. I would hope neither the OSSC or cable are defective as I bought them new from the source. I’ll still check the cable for continuity and the solder joints just in case. I’m new to this so I only have this one SCART cable, but I’ve got a N64 and Game Cube I could try with it. Will those still work with SCART in their un-modded state? I know I won’t get RGB, but at least composite would give me a signal. I did mess with some settings trying to get a signal so what are the H-PLL settings supposed to be in case I screwed them up?
