GSM works. Seems to be behaving with the OSSC. As for it being noisy, there’s like a ghosting effect around things. Not sure exactly what it is but that’s the only way I can describe it.

[Katcher]

I’ve tried that but it doesn’t help. I got the sound working now. Dunno how, it just suddenly decided to behave,

[Katcher]

Well PAL games are sorted out which is nice but now I have another issue…HDMI audio. Firmware is 0.82a and it audio is being a pain. It will either work or not and TX mode is set to HDMI. I know about the switch for audio but it’s a gamble whether or not flipping that works, not to mention it’s poorly position making it hard to use.

Hmm…could be. The cable I have is RetroGamingCables’ RGB packapunch pro for PS2 that’s Sync-on-Luma(though with the checkerboarding interference I’ll be switching to their CSync cable option soon or hopefully figuring out how the fuck to CSync mod my SCPH-5552 console at least and save a spot of cash. If you can point me in the right direction I’d appreciate it). so it’s missing the necessary capacitors. I’ll give the options you mentioned a tweak and see how things fair there.

Before I forget. NTSC games on a modded PAL system. Am I still bound by the annoyance of PAL systems on the OSSC? Like, the issue I’ve been having with a game like Wipeout 3 SE. Would NTSC games on a modded PAL console require the same workaround I had to go through to sort out my image problems with PAL titles?

[Katcher]

Well thank you for solving one of my problems. Wipeout 3 SE looks how it should do. As for the weird wavy video issue though, there has to be someway to solve that. Having to unplug and plug in the SCART cable every time it occurs is going to be a pain in the ass and no doubt cause unnecessary wear.

I’m guessing V Active set to 270 would be just as good on a 1080p TV/Monitor? Too poor for a 4K display right now lol.

[Katcher]

Surprisingly after following your advice the Scanlines look nice and uniform in 4x just like they do in 5x. I need to ask though. Why must the output be forced to 4:3? Right now the OSSC is connected to my ACER monitor that I’ve been testing it with and Wipeout 3 looks fine. Or is forcing 4:3 only necessary for games without widescreen support?

[Katcher]

4:3 is alright with me honestly. I just wanted to try avoid 4x since with doesn’t look great with scanlines compared to 3x and 5x unless there’s a way to make em look better?

[Katcher]

Nah it’s left set to generic 4:3. I need to note, both PAL consoles are modded. SCPH-5552 with a Mayumiv4 and the SCPH-102 with a ONEChip. It can handle both NTSC and PAL games(Not like Parasite Eve is gonna come to the EU any time soon…) That might explain why NTSC games I’ve burned to disc behave better than Wipeout 3 SE. Thank god we don’t have that shit to deal with in modern gaming.

[Katcher]

No. The TV is set to “Original”(it’s just an autodetect). But it doesn’t matter whether I use 16:9 or 4:3. I still get cut off. it’s really noticeable on Wipeout 3 SE. Either the top or the bottom of the HUD gets completely cut off

[Katcher]

It’s not just default settings I’m after. I just want to get everything back the way it was out of the box before I screwed up and resetting the settings, as I’ve mentioned, isn’t helping. When I got my OSSC, and before I fucked up after flashing it with the latest firmware, I was able to use Line5x mode without image cutoff on both my LG TV(43LH590V) and my ACER monitor(can’t remember model. Gsomethingorother). Now that I have, even if I reset settings to default, it always seems to be cutting off part of the output, even in 1600×200 and 1900×200. Not only that, and I also mentioned this initially, the displayed output on any setting is all wavy(if I had to guess it’s a sync issue?), which it wasn’t before I screwed up. Whatever I have done isn’t being reset when I try resetting settings to default and it’s frustrating the absolute hell out of me trying to fix this. It doesn’t help that I’m utterly shite at trying to explain things either so that I can receive help.

[Katcher]

Does the OSSC have a profile it loads by default that I should save to? I’ve tried doing what you describe yet no difference unless I’m doing it wrong?
