Just a quick update, I tried my Xbox directly into my TV, cutting out the OSSC completely. Seems that some games do indeed render differently, despite being the same output resolution. Not a problem in the end, but interesting to know.
The OSSC deinterlacing is okay, but not fantastic. If money is no object then the Framemeister handles an interlaced signal better.
Yeah, PS2 it definitely is like that. I tried a game I think Mortal Kombat in 480i, and I get junk pixels in the top left (normal I believe) which are rendered right to the edge of the screen, even though the game image itself doesn’t stretch that far.
Definitely some odd behaviour though. Vertically stretching Halo enough to get the image just perfect, I then load another game and its waaaaay stretched vertically.
Okay, I’m wondering now if it’s just due to the internal rendering resolution of the game. Halo and TimeSplitters both render perfectly to the edge of the screen. Mortal Kombat doesn’t. These are all NTSC copies running in 480p, so it should all be the same.
Thanks for thetip RE the DTV thing. Unfortunately there was no difference. Looking at it here next to me now, it really is just a half a centimeter away from filling the screen, so it’s more of an annoyance than a real issue. I wonder if there’s a way I can configure the monitor internally to stretch the image more.
Oh it’s a 4:3 CRT.
A Dell P1130 to be exact, but surely that should be able to take image from the OSSC? Or is it the case that despite the game being 4:3, the image the OSSC outputs is 16:9. and the CRT is just trying to accomodate that?
I would consider an additional processor if such a one would exist that would work easily between the OSSC and the monitor, however I’m guessing one that would work nicely for gaming would be really expensive?
Edit:
Some games fill the screen perfectly. Odd.
Yep, it’s running through a HDMI to VGA converter.
I’ll try editing those, I’m fairly sure I’ve messed about with them on here and had little success.
The annoying thing is I had an iiyama CRT that worked great and I could widen the image enough, although thinking about it the Dell CRT I have no is two inches bigger so the screen size is still probably larger than the iiyama.
All the monitor has is the ability to stretch it, on a step basis, you can’t directly choose the aspect ratio. There is an auto adjust where it centers the image but that just leaves me with the black bars all around. Vertically I have more than enough room to expand the image.
But said the H adjustment on my monitor is already at about 80 and if I stretch it all the way to 100 it doesn’t quite reach.
I’ve seen suggestions that you can adjust the sampling rate but honestly I have no idea where to start.
I think the best you could do would be measure it from side to side with a tape measure.
Line 3x and 4x should be exact, so if you make it the same you’re set.
Sorry I’m totally clueless for this. Would scaling the full range down to limited be the way to go? I would then want to adjust gain. Sorry I’m totally hopeless haha.
That firmware update works great for me. I was getting severely crushed blacks without it, I think due to my monitor. Will it introduce any issues using it in that mode?
Thanks.
I wonder if it’s the adapter I’m using crushing the blacks.
What’s the difference between gain and offset?
Okay yeah 1950 seems to be bang on aspect ratio wise but now the image is shifted left. I assume I need to adjust horizontal backporch?
I think seeing it now adjusting the horizontal sampling rate corrects the ratio for me. Does that sound right to anyone else?
It’s via my PS2 playing a PS1 title. Line 3x and 4x look great. Generic 4:3 too.
I will try 240p suite however that’ll be on my gamecube. Will post a pic shortly.
It’s just it’s saying lower the gain to full white, and I’m not really sure what value I’m having to change there.
