Component video?

Both are don’t run synchron

I have no idea what you mean by that.

You can connect up both displays but can’t use them at the same time, the OSSC will output either RGBs or Ypbpr component video, not both at the same time so you’d need to select which you wanted.

First of all, if you let the console just go to the memory card screen (no disc inserted) is the image stable then?

There shouldn’t be any damage (though Markus would be more qualified to answer that) but sync devices should only be outputting a few mA, I’m surprised there’s enough to actually power the device, that seems like a badly designed sync.

i rather prefer the VGA-to-SCART adapter from retro upgrades, because you combine the hv-syncs directly before you send that to the scart jack

A sync combiner is not necessary for the OSSC Pro as you can specify composite sync output through the menus.

You must do this modification if you have an older OSSC (hardware revision 1.7 or earlier). Follow the specific firmware upgrade/downgrade instructions for 1.20 to downgrade (firmware file goes in fw sub-folder on fat32 formatted card).
