I'm running a PVM 2530 and all my consoles look great on it with no issues. I bought an SFC awhile back, it is a 2CHIP and has the awful horizontal smearing. Beyond the smearing there aren't any other issues with the 2CHIP.
I recently bought a 1CHIP-02 and thought my troubles would be over. I'm using the same (retrogamingcables) CSYNC cable and official power adapter from my 2CHIP.
The picture has horizontal bands of brightness that slowly roll downwards. It's somewhat subtle, but enough to ruin the image quality. The picture looks great beyond that. It seems like some sort of interference that only the 1CHIP has.
Has anyone experienced anything similar? Is it possible 1CHIP SFCs need a different power adapter, or is there some issue with using CSYNC on them? I'm a little tired of spending money on this system, so I wanted to ask if anyone had experienced something like this before I go out buying more cables
