Retrotink 4K - RGB SCART (75ohm) - Recommended settings for RGB3DO 480i and 240p?

Post by Rock Man »

Scanned the internet, plenty of profiles for popular systems like Genesis, SNES, Saturn but couldn't find one with optimum settings for my modded 3DO.
The most I found is on one of my profiles it has settings for 3DO Component Video Ybpbr but not SCART. I tried utilizing those settings and swapping to
SCART but it blew up the picture. I'm trying to target 480i and 240p on RGB SCART what are the best settings to take advantage of this connection?

My display supports HDR and HDL if that helps. I discovered these settings in the menu and they did improve quality. Remember though I'm looking for the best
most optimal settings.

Are you using CRT effects? That would make your life much easier and would look good for both progressive and interlaced with the same profile. In any case, I imagine starting with a PS1 or Saturn profile and adjusting from there would work.

Tried the Saturn and Playstation profiles, they left much to be desired.

What are some CRT effects apart from scanlines?

Appreciate the response.

Have you tried the latest firmware with BFI and phosphor decay?

I assume you tried the profiles Prof_gLX 3DORGB 240p HDRV-Low NTSC?

Adjusting black levels and gamma will often depend your specific display and the lighting conditions in your gaming room.

Don't be afraid to adjust your profiles to fit your own environment.

P.S. I did link reddit this time, but I would avoid it for video advice. It's filled with randos that spit and amplify misinformation. Just grab the download link. If you don't know how to use the patterns, ask here or look up information from a proper wiki using a search engine.
