XRGB-Mini and PS2 PAL

[spectro2]

Hello !

I would like to play PS2 PAL/50hz games with scanlines with my XRGB-Mini, I can't because the screen twinkle as soon as I put scanlines ...
For PS2 NTSC/60hz it's all right, nice scanlines and no twinkle !

My hardware and settings :
SONY PS2 Slim PAL (with swap magic CD for NTSC games)
XRGB-MINI Framemeister (fw 2.03a)
Connexion : PS2 => component cable => adapter component/D-Terminal => XRGB-Mini

PS2 Settings :
Video output : YPbPr

Xrgb-Mini Settings :
HDMI OUTPUT : 720_60p or 720_50p
IMAGE_MODE: NATURAL
SCREEN_SET: STANDARD
SHARPNESS: 0
AUTO_SCALER : OFF => VIDEO
SCANLINE: ON
INT_LINE: disabled
INT_SMOOTH: disabled
DEC_LINE1: 70
DEC_LINE2: 100
DEC_SMOOTH: 100 (default)

Does anyone had setup the xrbg to get a beautiful image with scanlines and without twinkle ?

NOTE : For PS2 NTSC/60hz it's all right, nice scanlines and no twinkle ! with theses settings HDMI OUTPOUT : 720_60p + scanlines default

Thanks ! sorry for my English, I'm French

Either use 576p50 output instead or create a custom profile that crops 288p/576i down to 240p/480i and mimics a real 240p output on a 720p or 1080p profile.

Are the scanlines displayed correctly with these settings also by twinkle I assume you mean the flickering you get by enabling scanlines with 480i games?

How would I do this? Any tips on what to tweak and about how much?

Thanks spectro2!

I had to sign up to say that these settings have worked excellently on my Framemeister with my PAL SNES. The upper and lower horizontal black bars are gone and I've got a full screen image with perfectly spaced scanlines in 720p! I think maybe a few pixels are cut from the bottom of the image but nothing I would really notice. It's a small price to pay for PAL 720p scanlines.
