I would just like to offer my two cents to say that I am using the same VGA adaptor on the OSSC and have not experienced any problems.
Just an update (to no one, apparently) but I found the answer:
Setting Output Settings’ 480i mode (Line 2x, bob de-interlace for the record) HDMI TX Mode to DVI instead of HDMI or Auto FIXED IT.
Like I say, this ‘bug’ only presents on 480p content. At 720p+ HDMI mode worked fine. If anyone is able to explain why this is, I’m all ears.
Interested to hear more about optimised PAL timings for PS1, Saturn and Dreamcast. Tried Firebrandx’s profiles and they don’t work whatsoever on my PAL consoles.

December 30, 2020 at 3:54 AM in reply to: Scrambled horizontal lines: H.Active has to be reduced by -1 every time #44078Thank you really appreciate that. I eventually came to the same conclusion as i tested Alex kidd on master system on the Wii emulator vs the real thing and found the real console was handled correctly.
Only problem remaining is the weird flickery choppy picture i get at 5x on Saturn and PS1. Keen to try any suggestions.

December 28, 2020 at 10:44 PM in reply to: Scrambled horizontal lines: H.Active has to be reduced by -1 every time #44059I’ve only owned it for about 4 weeks so it should still be under warranty. Would be very frustrated as otherwise i’m happy with it, on the default settings it’s more than good enough, but it kind of makes the other 95% of the settings available on the device pretty much a waste of money.
Would really like some technical troubleshooting before going to the trouble of sending this back 🙁Edit: I’ve realised what the problem is, or at least got closer to what the actual problem is, Line 5x etc work great with the mClassic turned off. Stuff goes wrong in a hurry with it turned on. UNLESS the OSSC is at default settings, then it pairs up great (2x) with the mClassic. No more horizontal distorted lines. I mean I guess the mClassic and OSSC probably just don’t play well together with custom timings etc. So that’s out of the way.
The main problem is that without FirebrandX’s settings, e.g. optimised SNES 256, and using the default timings on the 240p test suite’s checkerboard pattern for example, I have no problem dialing in a crystal clear picture.
WITH FirebrandX’s settings on the other hand, it’s full of weird interference – no problem right? Just change the sample phase (if that’s what it’s called off the top of my head) – RGB Bob said you just dial it in until you get a crystal clear picture.
Except I don’t, i’ve been through every point on the 180 sample phase right down to 0 and there is nasty blurring and interference the whole way that just looks completely wrong. I don’t know if this is connected to the problems i’ve had with 4x/5x on Saturn for example, where I get a decent enough picture but Panzer Dragoon or GTA on PS1 both suffer from a strange kind of flickery lag, when you pause it it looks beautiful, when you press play it is kind of nauseating to look at.
Is there something i’m missing about FirebrandX’s profiles?
I could live without the line doubling stuff but regarding the shakiness / jitteriness of the picture, all I want to use is straightforward Passthrough and it just flat out refuses to work on my PG348Q. I reset it, checked again and for a moment it seems to be on passthrough but nope it’s defaulted to line2x bob again and when I manually select passthrough the picture gets squashed to hell and is unusable.
When I attach the OSSC to my HiSense 4K TV though it supports a couple of different modes to greater or lesser degrees, including passthrough with no weird shaking.
Sad really, this *has* to work with my PG348Q PC monitor (I have a QX2710 that I tried connecting through DVI-D but that didn’t work either) or it has to go back : / if anyone knows what settings to adjust I’d be super grateful. As things stand my cheapo chinese upscaler does the job very slightly better with none of the hassle.
Update: I’m starting to get a little buyer’s remorse here. 480i Passthrough is stretched wide as hell and squished into the middle, bob deinterlacing looks awful and has some weird over/underscan thing going on at the left side of the screen.
All I want is to play PS2 games at the proper resolution and aspect ratio including 480p for those that can manage it. Right now my cheapo scart-hdmi upscaler does a much better job of this even with a tiny bit of input lag. Really hope someone can help me solve this as I don’t really want to send it back if I don’t have to.
