Sync problem (rolling picture) using direct_video mode with my CRT Trinitron

[AmintaMister]

Hi all!

Usually I use my MiSTer on my Trinitron consumer TV with analog board output but I've bought this Hdmi -> Vga DAC (https://ultimatemister.com/product/dire ... i-vga-dac/) to try direct video.

So I've set direct_video=1 and composite_sync=1 on my mister.ini, but I've got a vertical rolling picture...

Why?

Try composite_sync=0. Usually it should be "1" but in some cases "0" works, depending on the cable.

If that doesn't work, try with a clean mister.ini. These two variables are the only ones needed for DV, so maybe you have some old settings that interfere.

It's not clear what kind of input you are using on the TV. If you are using a component break-out adapter, the SoG switch you normally use to add the crucial sync-on-green will not apply to direct video. You will need to create a Sync on Green circuit, there are resources on this forum I can't find right now that detail how to do it. Or else get a RGB to Component transcoder. (In theory this is higher quality since ypbpr=1 degrades color bit depth slightly.)
