So I have a retarded question. I was using it for my PS2 but wanted to hook up my PS1 because it's modded, cept the cables I had, that said they where compatible very much weren't. So what sort of scart or component cables should I be looking at for a PS1.

[Anonymous No.5963961]

Unless you live in europe, I'd recommend not doing SCART.

But real answer:
If you have a launch playstation, use your PS2 component cable for RGB and use the composite video jack for sync. On my launch unit I replaced composite video with luma out, but that's only a slight improvement.
If you have a later playstation, either do what I did and add an RCA jack in some way or another (I didn't even bother grounding mine, since the monitors I have share ground between sync and the RGB lines), or spend money on a playstation RGB cable that uses luma for sync.

The only real difference between the PSX and PS2 is that PSX doesn't do sync on green.

[Anonymous No.5963968]

It's an SCPH1001 if that helps. But even fitting the cable in the jack is a bit too snug.

[Anonymous No.5963980]

>>5963968
That's because of the construction of the cable. It's absolutely fine that it's snug. A lot more pins have to make contact with an RGB cable than a composite cable; you'll get used to it.

>You can get the black levels/colors/contrast if you still have a plasma TV.

If you use the OSSC with a plasma TV, chances are you won't get anything other than line2x mode supported, since OSSC just blasts random signals instead of industry standard HDMI ones.
So 640x480 max resolution in 4:3 aspect. If a console uses a resolution that is more than that when multiplied (for ex. PSX), it will get stretched unevenly and will look pretty ugly, especially on dither patterns. Line3x, 4x, 5x would fix that simply by having an input sampling so big that it hides the problem, but those don't work right on an old plasma. You can get around this if the tv has a VGA input, by using a hdmi to vga converter, but then you have to route audio separately, and most hdmi to vga converters are junk. Except for a few expensive models but that means dropping $100 more for a HD Fury Nano.

Also plasma tvs tend to need regassing nowadays to have the same picture quality as they originally did unless you find one that was seldom used. Or in the case of the last & greatest Panasonic Plasmas, you need a special device to fix the black levels (PMCV2).

I've seen one PVM in my life. Interlaced 480i games are completely fucked on OSSC. They use that default bob deinterlace which will turn your eyes into scrambled eggs after half an hour, or give you an epilepsy attack if you are susceptible to it.

Just imagine the entire screen shaking up and down one pixel at 60 frames a second, CONSTANTLY. It's unbearable. The only silver lining is that you can set the thing to bypass 480i and only process 240p, so you can let your TV deinterlace the signal, which gives you deinterlace artifacts but at least doesn't destroy your eyes.

[Anonymous No.5964919]

>>5964917
The reason it does the bob deinterlace is that it doesn't introduce any additional delay, while everything else requires a framebuffer and time. So you can use it and get a worse image with faster inputs, or cut it out of the loop, let your TV give you a generally more pleasing image and just take the delay. It's choices.

>You’re more likely to see entire human race unite and start singing kumbaya and develop a rocket to get to Mars before Sony or any other player in the market gets back into tube production.

I wouldn't be so sure about that, a few years back they had to start making cassette tapes again because demand peaked so high due to the retro hipsters. Granted that's not the same thing cause magnetic tapes are still used today as high-end data storage. But I'd still say that it's more likely for Sony to start making CRTs again, than for world peace & Mars terraforming to begin.

Only marginally more likely, though.

[Anonymous No.5964925]

>>5964920
They're not super comparable since tape production never fully stopped, and neither did player mechanism production. You also can't get any good quality cassettes or players these days, those are all old stock or used items. Those two things are also much, much simpler than the full supply chains of CRT manufacture.

[Anonymous No.5964947]

I'm glad the OSSC exists because before that, the only real upscaling solution for old games on modern displays was the overpriced framemeister.
But having said that, I don't think I'll ever use one, because any old curbside CRT will still be better and with much less hassle and headache than an upscaling and using a flat-panel. I get it if people just want one living room gaming setup with everything old and new hooked up to the same TV, but I think it's just superior to have a separate setup for standard def content.

[Anonymous No.5965020]

>>5964920
Cassette tapes/decks are much simpler machines to both manufacture and own. CRT's are complicated, expensive to make, and depending on the size extremely bulky, heavy and basically require an entire section of the room to themselves. These are the reasons they went out of style in the first place and in a world where we're on the edge of having tv's that are essentially just wallpaper to be applied to the wall we're never getting more CRT's made. Our best hope is that someone produces more inexpensive plasma displays with reduced screen burn in or something

For third, fourth and fifth gen consoles I fine it easier and superior to just emulate on a nice oled display (I have an lg c8) via retroarch, with a nice crt shader like CRT-Royale (or some ntsc shader for component/rf emulation if you're into that) with runahead enable to bring input delay down to CRT levels

You get the perfect blacks and color accuracy of a CRT, at 4k you can pretty much recreate any CRT look you want with autistic levels of accuracy, and runahead removes the input delay issue that emulation tends to come with. Plus you dont have to deal with the wonky geometry issues that plague almost every CRT out there

The only outlier is N64 because I dont believe theres an emulator out there that can handle runahead without slowdown.

[Anonymous No.5968910]

>>5961924
Such as? I know there was a problem with certain SNES models in the old firmware, but it was never a show stopper, just the auto detection didn't always work. I've found that everything I try works, just sometimes I need to mess with the filters or the sampling a bit to make it stable. A bigger problem is that by design it has to output the same frequency as the input so I imagine most people's problem is not the OSSC, it's that their TV can't take 60.1Hz or 59.4Hz or 49.7Hz, etc. If you want to take a wonky input signal and output HDMI compliant 59.94Hz then you need a framemeister and you'll just have to live with the frame stutter.

[Anonymous No.5968915]

>>5964004
Yes, because it's not really an upscaler, it's a scan convertor. It's for getting the lowest input lag you can get, and ALL deinterlacing HAS TO introduce at least 1 frame of lag. So the recommendation has always been if you want good image quality, pass the interlaced signal through to your TV.
The OSSC's de-interlacer is a specialist thing that is for either:
1) Low latency where you'd rather have minimum input lag instead of a stable clear picture (bob deinterlacing is an acquired taste)
2) Or for fixing problems like you get with the gamecube or 3DO where the output *should* have been 240p, but the game is using 480i and in this case bob-deinterlacing effectively recovers a perfect 240p out of an incorrect 480i.
For the OSSC to get good deinterlacing it would have to have a full frame buffer and a processor capable of doing multi-frame reconstruction in realtime. It wouldn't be faster than a good TV and it would just raise the cost significantly.

[Anonymous No.5968917]

>>5964037
This may sound patronising, but are you using the correct input? There are actually 3 modes for AV1, 2 for AV2, and I can't remember for AV3. RGBS and RGsB are not automatic, they are different inputs on the remote.
Also, quite often CSync cables aren't CSync, they are a dodgy tap off of composite video so you'll need to use the Low Pass Filter to try and strip as much noise as you can.

there isn't any such thing as good deinterlacing. Even watching framemeister footage of 480i, I can still see tons of rippling and general bullshit instability that I get with my shit monoprice chinese knockoff scaler.

There is good de-interlacing but it's only in broadcast grade video equipment and ridiculously expensive for the most part
However, it's good to keep in mind because sometimes you see this kinda hardware go for the low, low price of "get-it-the-fuck-outta-here". Those are literally once in a lifetime moments though.

>implying my OSSC is hooked up to an LCD

[Anonymous No.5973059]

The best way to play 240p games on an OSSC is line 3x with scanlines and hybrid scanlines.

[Anonymous No.5973090]

I have several CRTs so I've never felt the need to bother with an OSSC. However I might consider getting one when a version that's 4K compatible is made. Since 3840p is an even 16x scale of 240p, it would bypass a lot of the issues with upscaling to 1080p.

What he said is objectively true. What you said is objectively false. And sell your CRTs to someone with taste instead of wasting them

Is there anyone who uses one of these with an OLED who can comment on motion handling/color/black levels?

I'd prefer to have 1 TV to do everything but my OSSC and LED is just... it's not really a CRT replacement yet, mainly because motion is so much better on the CRT. If I could sell off my current flat panel and feel good about paying the difference for something that's gonna be practical and look good with everything, I'd go for it and let someone else have the crt

[Anonymous No.5976269]

>>5975696
It looks great but the OLED isn't quite bright enough to play with heavy scanlines in the day time. I have an LG OLED and it works with every setting except LineX4 which I'd never use anyways. SNES works as well.

I really wish I could fit a CRT in my apartment but I can't even find good CRTs around here that aren't RF only or composite garbage. I hope whenever I move out I'll have enough room and will just use the OSSC for capture card purposes.

I made a good amount of money gambling not too long ago so I ended up going a little crazy getting a bunch of modern accessories for retro games. I probably went too crazy but it was a drop in the bucket ultimately. I got an OSSC + two gcompsw + a ton of HD retrovision cables. Anything else I should get? I might as well since I'm going crazy now and probably don't want to be bothered with it later.

I haven't had a chance to really mess around with the stuff outside of a few tests, I've mostly been stuck traveling for business. How would I update the firmware for the OSSC?

tl;dr any other modern devices I should get for retro games?

mine is a right pain in the ass to use and the menu makes no sense. basically if it doesn't just 'werk' out of the box you are fucked. for the price it's a bit shit.

The menu makes perfect sense. Unfortunately for you, it just makes the assumption that you're not retarded.
