So I’ve tried the new firmware with the new Sync settings to Low and Ultra Low and for the moment it seems to work much better. I’ve played for 20 minutes yesterday without a sync to black.

I’ll need more time to test it out thoroughly (for more than an hour) though right now it’s already a huge advancement! Thanks a lot for the firmware update!

Thanks for letting me know! I’ll have a look at it.

I’m not sure whether I should download the new firmware or the T1/T2.

So… it’s a couple of months later now…

Still, no success with my Wii and OSSC. There’s some random black flickerings happening and I can’t control/fathom where that comes from.

I found a way to play my Wii on my 4k screen without these flickerings by using the RetroTINK 4k. So, I can’t say that my issue (OSSC and Wii) has been solved, rather that I found a workaround.

Hmm, I haven’t checked since my last message. I’ve been mostly abroad for work so didn’t have time to do proper testing.

My configuration is much simpler: Wii -> HD Retrovision Component Cables -> TV.

Though I did order the Retrotink 4K which will give me another way to connect my Wii to the TV. And from there, I might discover whether it’s due to my Wii, my TV or the device in between…

Thanks marqs – so the idea (I guess) is that I have to play with the sync options until I find what works (for my Wii/TV combination)? Any things I shoud be aware of?

Are there any risks of bricking or destroying anything (e.g. my TV) if I go too far with the options?

Okay, so unfortunately this was a short-lived joy. Maybe I was just lucky, but the last few days I’ve played the Wii again (legit Wii and GC discs as well as through USB LoaderGX and Nintendont) and these black screen (flickers?) appear again.

There seems to be no consistency. Sometimes I’ll have a couple of minutes without any black screen, sometimes I’ll have a couple of them in the span of two to three minutes…

Changing the H-PLL Post-Coast to 4 increases the flicker drastically (the screen almost remains black all the time). Not sure what the Pre-Coast does.

Thanks for the update @BuckoA51 – I tried the setting and (especially with H-PLL Post-Coast) it was worse, the screen was black (almost) all of the time. I’m curious, what do these settings actually do?

HOWEVER! I remembered reading that the quality of the connections (cables and such) was everything and so I decided to put the electrical plug of my OSSC in another outlet. I moved it from one multipower plug to a different one and – as unbelievable as it sounds ! – the black screen (almost) dissapeared! It appeared perhaps once or twice whil the main Wii menu was on, then I tried playing a game and for at least five minutes I had not a single flicker!

So there you go, probably not an OSSC board issue, rather something related with the quality of the electricity!

I’ll continue testing over the next few days/weeks before putting this as “solved”.

Hmm, more like the screen goes black then back (sound still continues).

Here’s how it looks like: https://mega.nz/file/AdQ1WR5B#1tLXMDvvLovUGrMDMmbvHwgOrR1Z9jtkTGhRzG8fYVg
