MiSTer to SVideo via Antonio Villena's Adapter - Scrolling Picture & Black and white?
Posted: Sun Jul 04, 2021 1:16 am
Hey all, hope everyone is well.
I recently got a PVM on ebay (Panasonic S1390Y, Color) and was hoping to use it with the MiSTer. I then scooped up Antonio Villena's VGA -> S-Video adapter (https://www.antoniovillena.es/store/pro ... o-adapter/) and was hoping I'd be good to go. Unfortunately, not quite.
I have been running into an issue where the image just scrolls and is displayed in black and white. I have to kind of guess may way through menus to attempt to launch games, which I can't even really play. Does anyone have any ideas what I may be doing wrong? I have the 5v jumper set correctly and have altered my ini file a few times. This is currently what I'm using, per a reddit user who had a similar issue:

Sorry to keep coming back here trying to get help with this; I'm super new to some of this and trying to work my way through it. I am a bit concerned that maybe the PVM I got just sucks and was on ebay for a reason (with it only being tested to ensure it turns on...)key_menu_as_rgui=0 ; set to 1 to make the MENU key map to RGUI in Minimig (e.g. for Right Amiga)
