GC video hdmi output 480p hopefully

[Hoagtech]

I just got my GameCube back from being modded with GC video and I am wondering how to set the output resolution to 480p. It is currently outputting 720p.

GCVideo outputs at 480i and 480p, so I don't know what you're talking about?

Didn't the reviews last year state that upscaling wasn't even supported on the GCVideo mods??

I meant 720 by 480p. Is there a way to force 640 x 480p. My aspect is off but I don't think it's just my tv'sinterger scaler. It's zoomed in and smeary looking right now but I just started testing it so I'm sure there's a solution

720x480p is correct. Same resolution as a component 480p connection would output. I don't think the Cube actually renders a full screen output. Instead it's likely a bit pillarboxed, but wider than 640 pixels at the same time.

I use my HDMI cube on 2 different TV's. With my samsung it is always displayed stretched 720x480. Changing the display mode on the Samsung does nothing to change to change from 16:9 to 4:3. On my other tv(don't remember the brand, not high end) I can display stretched or 4:3 by changing the display mode on the tv settings. Also from what I've experienced with GC-video is that turning 16:9 on or off in the OSD changes nothin.
I really like my gc-video HDMI cube a lot. And with gamecube games I play it in stretched video output even when I have the option to do 4:3. For gameboy games on the other hand I've found 16:9 is very ugly to me and 4:3 is the way to go.

Edit: I was wrong I can view the cube in 4:3 on either of the TV's I use it with by changing the mode on my TV's setting to 4:3, just tested it

GCVideo will show you a game's internal resolution, and always outputs it inside of a 720x480 frame with slight windowboxing. Most resolutions I see are around 660x448 actually.

That's all display-dependent. It either looks at the extra data for aspect ratio, or ignores it, unfortunately.

External resolution, actually. You need a debugger to tell internal resolution.

This is an important distinction for PAL, as most games keep the internal resolution of their NTSC counterpart.

[bobrocks95]

Interesting, so I guess most games are scaling from an even smaller internal framebuffer?

I've noted down the internal resolution of games I test on Swiss' Forced Progressive Compatibility List.

May I ask who did your GCVideo mod?

Citrus 3000. He seemed to do a good job. I just wonder about the video output from gc video. It looks different than component.

[bobrocks95]

Your display may not be handling 480p through HDMI that well? You are running the games in 480p instead of using GCVideo's line-doubler right?

Results on mine looked identical to component, but I'd have to have 2 cubes to do a direct comparison since 480p doesn't work through component anymore.

What happens if you turn off Enhanced DVI?
