Scrolling Screen Using Antonio Villenas Composite Adaptor

Unread post by djfrijoles »

Hello everyone. I recieved my adaptor and followed all 4 steps to use it (jumper, composite sync=1, NTSC switch, and the switch on the Mister to On) and I get this scrolling screen on 2 diffdfent tvs.



Any ideas?

I'm not 100% sure, but don't you also need to set Direct_video to =1?

Probably a sync on green issue, I had to combine two signals to get it to stop scrolling.

I used a cheap y adapter.

Yep, direct_video has nothing to do with the VGA/Analog port.

If you're using composite_sync you might have to make sure that Sync on Green switch is actually off.

Thank you. I tried it and it made no difference. I contacted Antonioo and he suggested the following...

vga_scaler=0 and forced_scandoubler=0

which also didnt work. He mentiones Horizontal frequency of 31 khz

Im super frustrated. I was so looking forward to playing on my TV
