Check out his notes on the voltage regular shown in the pictures:
Thanks, got that.
Thanks. My order no. is #46230.
…and also, just to add, I had my brother in law test this out at his house the other week and he too was having the same issue as me on 2 other TVs in different parts of his house. So that probably rules out any outside interference anyway.
No I’m in Ireland myself! Have you a direct email address I contact you at to arrange an RMA for my own one? Cheers.
Hi, I sent you 2 messages via your contact us page and haven’t heard anything back?
Bump.
I still haven’t been able to resolve this issue.
Hi, please check out the video links below. Unfortunately my crappy phone didn’t capture it too great, its worse in person, but you can still get a rough idea. Thanks.
Hi, thanks for the reply.
Its hard to describe, its more of a constant loud buzz even at very low volumes on both SCART and Component inputs. The pitch doesn’t change as far as I can tell. It starts when the consoles are powered on and is constant regardless of whats on screen.
And as I said, its less noticeable on VGA input. So much so, I didn’t even notice it the first few weeks playing at a regular volume. It was only when I went back to try VGA again having found the issues with Component and SCART that I noticed it at a much louder volume.
I could live with the VGA low level of noise, but its virtually unusable with the noise on SCART and Component.
…and no, I haven’t tried a mains conditioner (Don’t have one to hand unfortunately) but I really don’t think that’s the issue though as I have never experienced any sort of interference in my home prior.
Until very recently I had everything hooked up in the same spot to an older 1080p Samsung TV that had native SCART, Component and VGA inputs without issue. I upgraded the TV to newer 4K model and as you aware they come without said inputs, hence the need and purchase of the OSSC.
So thats all thats changed.
I’ll try make a quick video over the weekend and upload it here so you can see for yourself.
Thanks.

Simply remove the components further down the line from the trace. Ie. use a multimeter to figure out which resistor and/or cap. It has the same effect, and if you desolder them cleanly without destroying them, they can be saved and put back in no problem.
February 2, 2021 at 9:10 AM in reply to: N64 RGB Advanced – OSSC – Best picture in Passthrough #44917Just as an FYI, you might find it significantly more difficult to mod the console end of a RGC cable due to the way they’re built.
February 1, 2021 at 2:22 PM in reply to: N64 RGB Advanced – OSSC – Best picture in Passthrough #44889Hi Vlad,
If I can assume it’s the RGC universal cable, then you’re right. It has a sync stripper and takes composite sync from pin 9.
If you connected csync to pin 9 without cutting the trace, that could be your problem. There would then be composite video and sync coming from the N64 encoder as well as N64A csync and you’d be lucky to get any picture. If your cable takes sync from there, and you don’t care about composite video, I suggest cutting the trace.
Probably I wouldn’t sacrifice S-video by cutting pin 7 either – so unless you have a PAL console without S-video, I’d leave that alone.
There’s another option if you don’t want to cut anything at all: Remove the bridge to pin 9, having N64A csync going to pin 3 – leaving the option of using a csync cable later. And with your current cable you could switch to RGsB or YPbPr in both N64A settings and on the OSSC, bypassing the need for a dedicated sync line. I don’t know if any circuitry in the RGC universal cable would prevent this from working, but I’ve used this trick when temporarily switching cables.
Hope it works.
As a side note – I’ve just updated the N64A firmware from the latest published on git by borti, and finally linex3 is stable with any cable and sync type 🙂
Oops, forgot to quote Luis in my reply.
Anyway bought the TV, and I can confirm that 43LM6300PLA from LG works great for OSSC.
I tested 5x mode and 256 optimal for SNES (with DeJitter) and NESRGB (without DeJitter). Generic 1-5x also works fine.
Thanks for the tip. I’m actually on the lookout for a new-ish TV of reasonable quality and price with the only purpose of retro and 1080p max gaming, and had heard good things about LG.
Is it this one by chance? 43LM6300PLA
Google “this isn’t even my final form SNES 1chip” if you want to see the Reddit post that helped me.
Post a picture or list the solder points you made when installing. Maybe I’ll be able to comment from what I remember about this. Since adding D4 patch, RGB bypass and various caps I’ve had no desire to open up my “perfect” SNES again 🙂
