Screen Tearing on top of the Screen for Chippoke Ralph no Daibōken

[PhDTenma]

Hello,

So I was playing Chippoke Ralph no Daibōken (The Adventure of Little Ralph) and I noticed that on the top of the screen there seems to be some screen tearing (or artefacts) on top of the screen. I'm using an LG C1 OLED.

I tried the game with different vsync_adjust options (0, 1 and 2) and with VRR on and off (my TV recognizes VRR) but there's no difference. I don't know if it's something of the game that happens on original hardware, my TV or even the HDMI...

I have uploaded the video and should be there a couple of days (if you guys know a better place for uploading, let me know).

Thank you in advance!

This happens on real hardware as well on this game

Makes sense a lot of old games would have screen tearing. Heck, some of the most sophisticated graphics techniques were basically intentionally causing screen tearing in a controlled way while also changing palletes to create all sorts of extra scanline level effects.

Thank you for the clarification !

Yes, that's true, I was so confused because for the 8-16 bit's systems I didn't encounter that obvious screen tearing, but an early 3D system as PSX is different...

Thanks

This looks a lot like a bug in the LG C2 models, but the answers already answered probably apply in your case.

A 720p source on LG C2 models with "Boost" mode (lower input lag) enabled results in screen tearing at the top of the screen. It only happens when using 720p resolution.

I see, good to know! I recall from a My Life in Gaming video that also the C2 model had terrible input lag in 4:3. I hope the newer models don't have those problems!

In my case it's a C1 model and also I was playing at 1080p and also tried 1440p, and doesn't happens with all games so, yes, seems it's just how some games worked on the PSX.
