@BonzoBits

WOW! So much information! I am just getting acquainted with the timing tweaks and advanced settings, this is great. Thank You!

And yes, that does sound like the issue you saw with your VT60 and blurred columns. I’ll try out your fix and let you know!

Panasonic TC-P50S60 .76 Firmware Update:

x3 and x4 working thanks to Harrumph’s tips and tweaks:
need to set V. Active to 256 and V. backporch to 3

Tested with Genesis, SNES, and N64 so far.

Great work! This got 3x and 4x working on my panasonic tc-p50-s60! Tested on Genesis, SNES, N64.

After setting V. Active to 256 I had to turn V. backporch down to 3 before I got picture.

I’m not happy with the result personally, how do I get the aspect ratio right? It looks way off, especially in 3x. There are also some blurry areas and some not.

And even then, I’d still be stuck with the borders all the way around without using another scaler in between?

At this point I’ll be sticking with 2x. The picture in a window is probably too much even if I can tweak out the aspect and pixel sharpness. 2x just works and looks great on my plasma, but I love tweaking and will appreciate any other tips.

I’ll let you know if I have any luck with your other 5x tips.

Thanks!

Thanks marqs,

I tried firmware 0.72 and it does not seem to have an effect.

I have not hooked up my GB-8220 because it is a pain to get hooked up and configured correctly again, but I did try s-video into a iscan pro and I could see the same horizontal wobble that I see using RGB on the OSSC.

If anything the wobble or wave looked more “digital” when using s-video to the iscan pro to the OSSC. Like I could see that the offset was exactly one pixel and it looked more like a square wave.

So there seems to be something on the sync signal, but I don’t know where to go from here…

I have not yet hooked my GBS+Gefen back up to confirm that the issue does not exist, but wanted to pose a few of questions…

First, anyone else out there using a NESRGB with their OSSC right now?

Second, Would scalers that use a frame buffer possibly be cleaning this up and correcting the “sync” issue before it is output to the display, where as the OSSC is just passing the existing signal and line-doubling on the fly, so these sync inconsistencies are more likely to be passed on to the OSSC?

Third, could this “ripple” or “wave” be caused by a crappy PSU. I did try a couple of Adapters with this console that gave me a lot of interference, diagonal lines, and a scrolling horizontal line? I finally settled on the AC/DC adapter I have now because it has the least amount of video interference.

Thanks! I’ll try to hook my GBS+Gefen backup up soon so I can compare.

Thanks for the reply Markus, BTW, this scan converter really is the bee’s knees!

The mod has c-sync run to the multi-out. But now that I think about it, I need to verify which scart cable I am using since I do have composite video sync, c-sync, and sync on luma cables, I may be using the wrong one…

I’ll do some more testing when I get back home from business later this week.

Panasonic TC-32LX60

x2 works
x3 does not work
x2 480p does not work

Same consoles tested as above. SNES with native RGB works. Poor scaling to 720p, scanlines look terrible.

Not a TV, but my Emachines E211H LCD supports all modes, SNES x3 looks great!

The horizontal sync issue with my NESRGB has been present on all displays.

[deltronik]

I tested on my 720p panasonic tc-32LX60 and have the same horizontal sync issue only with the NESRGB.

I also tested my Emachines E211H 1080p PC monitor which shows the same issue in both x2 and x3 mode.

I tried running through the Sync Strike before the OSSC and it exhibited the same issue. I have not tried removing the Extron 128 from the chain.

I’m going to need to hook my gbs-8220 CFW Project back up and confirm that I don’t see anything similar. The NESRGB did take some different sync settings with the GBS than the rest of my 240p consoles.

[deltronik]

Yeah, I’ve got a couple of cheap 720p LCDs to test and a couple of 1080p PC monitors. I’ll test them and see if it makes a difference with my Famicom. I’ll also throw up the results in the compatibility thread.

I also tried my old old IBM VGA CRT monitor via a cheap HDMI to VGA adapter but could not get any picture.

Thanks!

Panasonic tc-p50s60

x2 480p works almost perfectly for the consoles I’ve tested so far, all perfect but Famicom
x3 720p does not work with any source
x2 480p does not work for Dreamcast, 480p pass-through is perfect (only tested dreamcast for 480p)

Consoles tested:
Twin Famicom (Odd Horizontal sync issue or something, look at my NESRGB Twin Famicom thread – not sure if something is up with console)

Genesis
Dreamcast
SNES (early model with native RGB)
n64
PS1
PC Engine DUO-R
