Not sure why you’d use limited range, PCs usually work in full range RGB. Regardless whatever you use it should match through your entire video chain ideally. I’d try setting everything to full range from PC to CRT.
Dejitter is required.
Dumb question but just in case, you have tried simply reducing the volume on the PC, correct?
Edit – sorry NM I saw above you said you did.

I can’t explain this behaviour then. I’ll ask Markus to take a look.
Did you place the volume control before the input on the OSSC Pro or after the output of the OSSC Pro?
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.
I’m not sure what you mean when you say “i have no benefit!”.
Optimal modes are there for upscaling 240p sources, they aren’t available when processing 720p.
480 divided by 3 is 160 so that probably explains why a 3x reduction isn’t working well. Horizontal resolution matters less with CRTs (in fact the higher the better usually).
Not much to say in reply to that as it’s beyond my level of technical experience, I do appreciate you documenting this effort on our forum though!
If you’re connecting to an OSSC, pin 16 is irrelevant, all grounds should be connected though.
Perfectly possible as long as you output a mode that your CRT can display. What are you inputting and what mode have you got the output set to?
I don’t have an answer for you but just to let you know your e-mail address is rejecting e-mails from VGP. There is also another discussion thread for the profiles website here – https://videogameperfection.com/forums/topic/profile-settings-web-app/page/6/
It depends on the mod you do but yes, a properly region modded PAL console will play NTSC games the same as a native console would.

Hi Evelyn,
N64 can be done, I’d look to our friends at retro upgrades for that – https://www.retroupgrades.co.uk/product/n64-ultrapif/
Megadrive/Genesis the same – https://www.retroupgrades.co.uk/product/sega-md-genesis-region-dfo/
SNES – Unfortunately we’ve had issues getting the parts for the SNES region free for quite some time.
On the SNES and the Megadrive the cartridges are also a different width, so you’d need to dremel widen the cartridge slot or use an adapter. The N64 has a simple plastic bracket that prevents the insertion of different region cartridges.
Some PAL games will work when forced to 60hz (indeed some PAL releases were literally just the NTSC versions on the same ROM with no optimisations for speed difference at all) but many won’t.
If you’re planning on using a scaler rather than a CRT, check before you buy a pre-modded system if it has a DFO type chip installed with the mod. Many of the older mods did not and this can cause issues on more fussy, modern TVs as the refresh rate is ever so slightly out of spec.
what is your audio source and how are you outputting it?
