Problems connecting via VGA to a old-school CRT

Hi again,

my second issue is the following:

I can't get any picture out of the VGA Output on my I/O-board. I use a standard cable VGA to SCART (8 EUR) and an old beovision mx 4000 CRT TV. I googled and found some settings but no one worked for me. Is the "SOG"-button related to this topic? What does it stand for?

O1: Is it right that I don't need any high priced cable for this since the I/O board has an build-in converter?

Q2: Can I solve this issue using specific settings?

Q3: Could I use hdmi AND VGA-Output or either or?

Thank you so mich for your support.

SOG = Sync on green. You will want this turned off.

Make sure you have composite sync enabled and scalers off in your mister.ini and more importantly, make sure the cable you are using has the correct pinout: https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Hardwar ... rd_6.1.pdf

Any old VGA to SCART will not work.
