Any way to pause screen on snes/megadrive cores?

Unread post by pbsk8 »

After getting my 21' trinitron back to life, I realized the image is blurry, specially with white text on screen

and I would like to calibrate the image with some paused screen when some text is appearing, fortunately I can find some game that shows text all over screen for that test.

Is there a button (I use 8bitdo snes 30 pro) to pause it like this?

Megadrive has "pause when OSD is open", SNES doesn't. Any RPG or strategy game would do, but better use this "industry standard" tool for calibration: https://artemiourbina.itch.io/240p-test-suite

Use this ROM to calibrate your CRT. They have ROMS for all systems.
