GBS-C (Aliexpress) lost sync on white screens

Post by ecarrilho »

Hello!

I bought a GBS-C from Aliexpress that is working fine, except when I play a game that have a really white screen. On these cases, GBS lost the sync and recover after some seconds. My unit is the "complete" version, with clock generator and HDMI converter.

For example, the opening screen from Sonic 2 on Mega-Drive, the first screen on Banjo-Kazooie on N64 (the walking N64 logo) or the opening screen of Konami games on SNES.

Anyone faced this issue before?

Thanks a lot!

This was resolved in firmware some years ago. Update to the latest firmware.

I did the update yesterday and now is working better. Also I removed the 3 pots from RGB line and soldered a 100 ohms resistor on sync and ground pins.

Thanks again! :D

Glad it worked out. Remember - the 100 ohm resistor is only for rgbs input. If inputting vga, it should be removed. Doesnt matter either way for ypbpr.
