So far loving the MiSTer and all the setup! However I have run into a problem here that someone with some Monitor skills might be able to help me out. The issue:
- When I turn on the MiSTer which is connected to my older LCD monitor through VGA cables, the text "OUT OF RANGE" appears on the monitor screen.
Also, here is my setup and my ini info. I thought it should work out of the box, but
. Other notes:
- I do have an I/O board
- i did change the ini to lower resolutions and no worky
- I did connect the MiSTer to another LCD (newer model) and it worked (So its not my 15-point on the MiSTer)
- I did connect a Laptop/CPU to the problem monitor and it worked (So its not the cable).
HALP!

; Set to 1 for automatic HDMI VSync rate adjust to match original VSync.
; Set to 2 for low latency mode (single buffer).
; This option makes video butter smooth like on original emulated system.
; Adjusting is done by changing pixel clock. Not every display supports variable pixel clock.
; For proper adjusting and to reduce possible out of range pixel clock, use 60Hz HDMI video
; modes as a base even for 50Hz systems.
vsync_adjust=0
; If you monitor doesn't support either very low (NTSC monitors may not support PAL) or
; very high (PAL monitors may not support NTSC) then you can set refresh_min and/or refresh_max

; These parameters are valid only when vsync_adjust is non-zero.
refresh_min=0
refresh_max=0
; These parameters have the same format as video_mode.
; You need to supply both PAL and NTSC modes if you want vsync_adjust to switch between
; predefined modes as a base. This will reduce the range of pixel clock.
