About this deal

Recently I purchased an XRGB mini and found that when I run 480i rhythm games on the PS2 for streaming and recording purposes, the notes tremble like a photo, causing blurry problems.

I'm assuming the Framemeister will give me a better output - I mostly play MAME on this if it matters. original Wii titles however might only see marginal improvement, but would still probably look better through HDMI rather than component, digital foundry seems to suggest that you should always set the Wii U to the native output of the game you're playing. Anyway the crt has solid scanlines which do not separate from the image unlike the led (and framemeister) which allow the scanlines to separate from the image.

Adapters will then need to be changed for new models when people will give up on their current TVs for the next new norms. Based on FGPA technology, the OSSC is a low-latency video digitizer and scan converter whichtakes analogue signals from pre-HD consoles and turns them into a HD digital signals that looks crisp and sharp on modern TVs, with the minimum of processing lag. Scanlines are a must for me - I have my Trinitron next to my flat screen and am able to compare the two - the scanlines on the XRGB are pretty close! Both output at 1080p60, but the Wii goes through an analog component connection to the Framemeister whereas the Wii U stays digital the entire way.

It mainly depends on the focus, whether you're tracking the moving object or if your eye stay focused on the background.Turns out they’re emulating that in software and translating its configuration to the R7xx’s CRTC registers.

As for physical space, yes they take up more room than modern TVs, but they don't require a huge amount of space. Strangely enough my WiiU had to be repaired because of a failed firmware update and when I got my machine back I retested vWii games and noticed the green push/chroma shift had gone. With the two most common input types (RGB and Component) you now have wires sticking out a great distance off the front AND rear of it.

FBX, forgive my ignorance, but is it perfectly normal operating conditions for your Toro profile to be in a window (black bars top and bottom) instead of filling the 4x3 space? The TV wouldn't do integer scaling, either, so I'm not sure how much of an improvement that would be. Of course it is nicer to have a fuller screen, but at the same time, it seems to me that the Framemeister is giving us the sharper picture.

I'm a bit confused on how the Framemesiter handles limited RGB (16-235) Under the Output Range the RGB space is set to "Full". However, the value of 858 doesn't align correctly with 320-resolution (at least in the case of testing the Sega Genesis). The point of all of this is to get pixel perfect and close to how we remember playing these games, I don't need a device that is going to do anything more than that. Lastly, the only settings from my profiles that you'll want to adjust to your TV is the "COLOR_SET" >> "BRIGHTNESS" to your liking, and also "SPECIAL" >> "A/D LEVEL".Guspaz wrote:Since the Framemeister is known to have poor 480p handling (and poor component handling), and most TVs handle 480p quiet well, you may want to compare this to plugging the Wii directly into your TV via component cables. While you can simply plug in RGB, Component or VGA signals, the best performance is achieved with custom profiles for each console and some tweaking. So 1080p is locked at 4 samples per pixel compared to the OSSC's single sample per pixel (FM's 720p mode is a little better at 3 samples per pixel, but it has other problems we'll get into).
