I have my Mister running via the Analog Io RGB into a consumer RGB Scart Toshiba CRT and I’m experiencing very faint red scanning lines coming through on blacks . I’ve tried 2 cables , the later being the one from RGC , both have a resistor .
Brightness and contrast are set on the TV to acceptable levels and lowering either the contrast or brightness doesn’t seem to completely eliminate them . My CRT has a brightness range of 1-100 I think and I’m set to only 5 , any higher than that and the picture is too bright , to be honest even at 5 or even set to zero it would appear a bit too bright .
It’s a 37” CRT so I don’t know if that’s just part of the parcel and everything does become that more noticeable .
If I run the SNES 240p suite PLUGE my CRT seem so bright that I can’t really eliminate those side bars completely using the brightness and contrast settings of the TV . Therefore whatever they are in that test that are supposed to be eliminated with the TV brightness / contrast controls remain .
Running the Saturn itself via RGB scart doesn’t present and issue , just seems to be with the MIster
I was looking to try a VGA2SCART in the hope it would fix the anomalie .
Pics attached of what appear to be faint scanning lines coming though and the cheaper of the cables I’m using , the RGC one I’ve not opened . The cable shown is the one from RetroComputerShack .
Mister ini settings are correct , VGA_PWR on the IO is set to 5v as per the instruction of RGC when it comes to using their cable .
I’ve adjusted RCUT in the CRT service menu but it made no difference , I could mess with SUB Brightness in the service menu but don’t really want to get involved with that .
Io board is from Nat at https://misterfpga.co.uk so I don’t think it’s an issue with the IO board
Any thoughts ? Thanks in advance
