Given the fact that OSSC bob interlacer is not recommended, I would suggest that you consider RAD 2x for PS1/PS2, available for example from videogameperfection. Using that, you don’t even need RGB cable.

I updated to FW0.83 but it seems that ps2 progressive signals stopped working.
I tried several ps2 games with progressive support and they provided black screen.

I quickly retreated to FW0.82 which seemed to be ok.

Anyone else twho has updated to FW0.83 having problems with ps2 progressive signals? (I am using RGB scart connection)

Ok, thanks!

Good to know, I think I will return this monitor and try dell s2719h that should support 480i/576i. I thought that I could manage with some flickering but this may be too much for my liking.

My main retro source is ps2 and in some games flicker is bearable, in some it really hits the eye. I must say I am a bit disappointed since otherwise this monitor was performing great and colors and screen in bob x4 looked fantastic.

Ok, thanks.

My monitor does actually support interlaced content, it even has component and scart connections directly as it is more a television/monitor hybrid.

I just had a vivid memory trying out 1980×1080 monitor that allowed pal 4x and that’s why I asked. It isn’t end of the world as I am anyway in process of getting a new monitor.

Basically, if I understand you correctly, a 1440p monitor might then be a good choice for reaching line 5x in PAL.

I tried same rgb-scart with same game both in ps2 and psx (soukyu gurentai).
With psx, before actual game started, ossc switched to 263p.
With ps2, ossc showed 525i all the time in menus and in actual game.
Same rgb-cable, same game. Both psx and ps2 are modded PAL machines.

SOLVED! It seems Alundra original runs fine in 314p through rgb-scart when I disabled the modchip. It runs 625i when modchip is on. So it is my modchip that causes the problem not putting ps2 to psx progressive mode.

With component cable, OSSC says no sync, and so does my TV. Since wii component cable works fine with both I suspect the cable even though it feels strange that good cable does not work. It has silver cylinders so it is ps3 era as I remembered.

I found following from the internet: “Some of the modchip installations fixed the so called “Greenscreen” problem. This is done to avoid the green tint during DVD playback (when connected via RGB). What the “fix” actually does is to disable component signal completely!”

So it is highly likely that this the main reason why component does not work. I can further test this with other PS2/PS3 console.

I am aware of that menu issue and have indeed chosen component output. That is the reason I am hesitant ordering a new cable, since this should work and be the best. I will try once more tonight when I am back at OSSC.

Thanks for the answer. I have been trying out Soukuygurentai and Toaplan shooting battle. However, I don’t have any further reference which resolution these games run in original psx. I will try tonight with other psx games to see if any of them show other than 480i.

Wrt. the component cable, cable is high quality component cable made by Sony so it should be compatible, I guess. The thing is, I own several consoles by sony so I cannot 100% remember to which devide I bought this cable, I think it was for ps3 and it looks like it should fit ps2 too. But since neither tv nor OSSC show a signal, I guess cable is not compatible.
