      I also get a checkerboard pattern like this. (Retrotink 2x pro) I would blame my S-Video cable but it works fine straight into the tv and fine straight into my CRT too. Also my wii through component into the Retrotink is fine too. What could be going on?

          OK, so the OSSC can’t upscale 576i, only 480i or 480p?

            More interested in the picture quality than the input lag, so the upscaling I guess, just not sure how that works with OSSC?

            There are some PAL games like Luigi’s Mansion and the Maio Party games that only run in 576i, not 480i, so can only be 576p not 480p even with Swiss as far as I know. Not that sure how Swiss works either though but I guess you can just get the NTSC game files?

              Ah OK I missed that you had Swiss, then you should be able to force 480p with most games no? Unless Swiss runs on Wii as well (I don’t actually know weather it does or not) then PAL Gamecube games will not run in 380p on a Wii, only 480i / 576i for some. Why go down to 240p for the OSSC to scale it back up, is this just the best way to get higher than 480p?

              As someone who doesn’t want to run Swiss, I’m just curious if the OSSC can improve a 480i or 576i picture with any of its settings (I don’t fully understand them, I guess it’s scaler, the 2x, 3x etc.) as that is what I am stuck with (as a PAL user)

                This will not work. PAL Gamecube games will not output native 480p unless you force it with Swiss. The Gamecube can output it, just like the Wii, but its the games themselves that can’t, without using Swiss. Deinterlacing / line doubling is the only option. I only recently realised this as its quite confusing and a lot of people don’t know about it or assume everyone has NTSC / Japanese. Let me know how you get on with the OSSC though cause I’ve been thinking of buying one to improve my PAL Gamecube’s 480i & 576i (for some games, particularly annoying) but don’t know if it will actually improve them or by how much (all the settings on OSSC intimidate me a bit). Anyone else know?

                  I don’t know anything about OSSC, but do know that PAL Gamecube does not output 480p (despite other regions supporting it, it was disabled in PAL consoles for some reason) , only 480i and 570i, unless you force 480p with Swiss or line-double / deinterlace with a Carby cable, Retrotink, or (I thought) OSSC… Don’t know if that helps.
