Thanks, I’ve been busy for a while, that’s why I haven’t been posting much lately. Also a few days ago I started to calibrate with patience my CRT, I always found something wrong and had eye strain because of that and entered the srvice mode and start tweaking until it looks like this. If you take a look of my past photos on this thread, they look blurry, and the slot mask RGB wasn’t aligned. but now It looks like this. I will post some more pics… :smiley:

No, It’s VGA to Scart RGB from Mister FPGA.

Well, for curiosity sake…do you have a Super NES with composite output for this game? Could we see that? Does adjusting the sharpness slider help it reach these same sharpness levels?

No sorry, I haven’t, but I have a Pal Mega Drive, a Pal Saturn and the Sega Dreamcast. All of them with scart RGB…

#395

Composite Mega Drive would still be interesting then.

I should get a composite cable, right now I haven’t got one, only Scart RGB…

#397

Often, both signals are combined in SCART cables. I was lucky to get a multi-console SCART cable with connectors for at least 5 systems many years ago. Guessing these aren’t the cheapest nowadays.

It still wouldn’t look like an NTSC Sega Genesis on an NTSC TV with composite input.

I use ISO 100, and Shutter speed 1/50 and 1/60 depending the game I play if It’s PAL or NTSC, other settings like focus and WB are on auto. Just make zoom with the camera about 80 - 90% then just get closer or far away from the screen to make more focus to the masks…

Thanks, It’s because I calibrated patiently the CRT, so the photos don’t look dirty and blurry and that helps a lot with the camera, before It was imposible to look like this until now… :grin:
