Setting vscale_border=1 fixes it so it isn't a big deal, but weird since I thought the MiSTer would use a pretty standard video signal (for menus at least). Anyone knows what that might be?
Bumping this topic for not-news just to share my pain in fixing this. Once 5X crop mode was available then using vscale_border wasn't an option any longer (not sure why that disallows crop, but whatever) so I had to figure this out.
I figured I had to alter the modeline, but the MiSTer doesn't say what modeline is using. I tried some 1080p modelines and none of them would sync with my TV... so I booted a Linux PC, connected it to my TV and got the modeline it used via xrandr and put those settings into MiSTer's configuration. It worked, but I still had the same issue. Weird since that modeline gives a perfect picture on the Linux PC, maybe some weird rounding issue when MiSTer reads edid or something?
Anyway adjusted vertical back porch and front porch to move the image 1 pixel down and... perfect. If I move it two pixels down I get artefacts the the top line so obviously some misalignment going on.
So if anyone else has the same problem, a custom modeline might work.
More relevant, the PSX core works really well, from the games I tried there has been very few compatibility issues, so I wouldn't let the unstable status of the core scare you away from trying it if there's a PSX game you want to play.
Only sad thing is Wipeout games are a bit wonky. Wipeout XL seems to have trouble with CDDA playback and drops sync at screen shakes (PSX > OSSC does not). I had some weird sound issues in both Wipeout and Wipeout 3. Practically everything else I tried was perfect though.
Military Madness: Nectaris was broken initially once I tried it and was fixed like three days later.
Not a game compatibility thing, but it the PSX core currently has one unfortunate problem the MiSTer hasn't had to deal with yet; the PSX has interlaced games. Currently the MiSTer offers bob and weave deinterlacing and neither of those are usable (IMO).
Also is it just me or is there no good composite blur filter? There's one in the Genesis core that works great, but for other cores there's just CRT grid options.
