      @Morpheus_79 Thank you!!!  I was totally unaware of this switch.

      I had used A2 input previously and so must have knocked this switch when working on the unit.  Anyway, I changed the switch position and audio input through A2 is working perfectly again.

        I did the single wire mod described in the first post on my v1.6 board but have found that I get no HDMI audio when input through A2 (video via V2 YPbPr works fine – just no audio).  Could this be related to the mod?

        I tried the latest firmware 1.10a and also downgraded back to my previous firmware 0.88a with the same result.

        I tested a VGA input (V3) with audio fed into A3 and HDMI audio was working fine.

        Did I mess up the mod (I did check for continuity and also tested for solder bridges creating shorts but all seemed okay)?  Or are additional changes needed for v1.6 boards to have A2 work?

          Air Raid is a strange one. Although it was sold in very limited numbers in North America, it only has 290 scanlines, which is why I think it has been labelled as PAL (even though I guess it technically isn’t either).

          It would seem the 2600 is a rare breed of console where the programmers of each game had direct control over how many scanlines a game had and at what frequency. Despite Atari making it clear in their Programmer’s Guide that “a single television frame consists of 262 scanlines”, many programmers flew in the face of that and strayed from this. In some cases they strayed way away. I’ve seen others refer to this as bad programming but I guess if CRTs displayed this okay then………

          I can empathise with you regarding your cable chaos. A symptom of our hobby 🙂

          If you do get a chance to check out my settings I’d really like to know what you think. Also, if you have any suggestions what settings might help with the few games I’m still having issues with then I’d be most grateful. Thanks.

            Thanks for the information guys – would be useful to have that info on the shop page. I’ll certainly keep the Koryuu in mind for the future.

              Yeah, sorry, I guessed this was rather a hypothetical question. I guess I was hoping you’d say that there was an objective with the OSSC Pro development to have it work well with C64 S-video.

              I’m certainly out of touch as I wasn’t aware of the Koryuu. Does this only support PAL60? No NTSC support?

                Funny, I was literally trying to do this today with my VHS player, a Panasonic NV-VHD1B. It has SCART outputs and the OSSC picks up the signal which when a tape is playing is shown as 623i at 50Hz but this does flicker every few seconds as it loses sync. In fact in my case the red “unstable sync” is lit up. Unfortunately the only other video output from this unit a composite.

                Would a RetroTINK work in my case with the composite signal?
