RetroAccess DC SCART with GSCARTSW

Post by at0micgarden »

Hi All,

I have DC Digital installed - working great. I have it set to cable detect mode. I am trying to use an analog cable from RetroAccess that has a 15kHz passthrough but I'm getting sync issues on my 240P/480i PVM. A standard composite cable works fine. Did I make an oops when I thought this cable would work on my PVM?

I have tried toggling the two Sync-related switches on the gscartsw. The DC splash plays, but it's purple. When I toggle the "disable sync on green compensation" switch, the DC splash is white, but the image is still poor quality.

I have the switch on the cable set to 15kHz. All other SCART sources going into the switch look fine.

Also, I plugged the DC SCART cable into the 2X-SCART and get no image there.

Any ideas?

Is it this cable?

Something is either wrong with the dreamcast or the cable, because that cable should work fine with the PVM and 2X-SCART if the switch is at 15 khz.

That's the one. I did get a slightly longer length so maybe that's a factor. 6 ft. I contacted RetroAccess, so we'll see how it goes. Thanks!
