PSX Core Ugly Tint

Unread post by Captain FPGA »

I'm getting a weird tint every time I boot up the PSX core. How to get rid of it?

It's doing the same thing on my Playstation nightlies build, from what I've red nightlies shouldn't effect the official core at all. Please help?

Before you ask I did rename the bios files to boot.rom.

boot.rom => US BIOS
boot1.rom => JP BIOS
boot2.rom => EU

I did all three.

Something like that yeah. I posted a few examples. Main difference is my tint is purple. They appear a little clearer on video and pics than they do actually watching it on the TV.

I am using the official release AWA the last few unstables that allow video.

I haven't used this core in a while. Even when the official came out I didn't grab it right away. So, when I finally got around to downloading everything, I downloaded the unstable main script followed by PSX nightlies to get the latest unstables, then after testing that I got the purple. So, I used update all to get the official PSX core still purple.

This is the only core where I'm experiencing a screen problem. :(

Maybe some filter settings after you updated from older version?

I have not seen that before, so i have no real plan on how this could happen.

I saw more posts from different cores last week complaining about some color/tint/hue interferance.
Maybe it has to do something with the MiSTer main?

At any rate I manually replaced unstable main with regular main however the problem persists. I'm thinking about uninstalling PSX unstable and PSX official, then doing a clean install of PSX official. Clean slate.

Hopefully that will clean-up any abnormalities. However if there's something I need to do with the filters let me know.

Go to "Video Processing" in OSD, choose "Load Preset" >> "No Filters". Probably won't help but it's always good to rule that one out.
