It is starting to seem like I will need to set up ALOT of different profiles with different zoom and Vertical/Horizontal pos/width settings.
really depends on what you want
to achieve. For scanlined output at 720p you can still very well live without any profiles - that's how
the FM was meant
to be used for
the past years. One
of the two 4:3 ratio presets (Normal2 and Standard) usually give you a close enough
to 4:3 ratio (which eliminates tinkering on
the horizontal) and
the vertical pixel input
to output ratio is always an integer factor
of 3, so you don't have
to worry about that either.
OK so I went ahead and reset all
of my settings. Set it
to standard after I undid everything else I had done. I think I was making all kinds
of changes that were not really helping.
On standard I immediately noticed that
the games more or less will display about
the same. Then from there
the scanlines actually looked great. I had all kinds
of settings I was experimenting with and
the scanlines were looking a bit "off".
The 720p image does not match my 1080p screen which is what I would expect. It's when I start trying
to make it look perfect that I start messing things up, especially when going
to a different game.
I am still testing, but I have noticed a few things. For example, going through some n64 games,
the ones that boot up right away tend
to be pretty close
to each other in video output/position. However
the N64 games that are not in great shape and do not always boot up on
the first try tend
to deviate more from
the expected output (display correct image but more off center). I was initially thinking this might be
the way some games work, but now am leaning towards blaming
the condition
of the cartridges in question.
I think it was good for me
to do away with my settings and start from scratch on standard. I will continue testing my ps1 and saturn games and possibly even a different tv.
