Re: XRGB-3
I don't get it. Why is there a need for 1 person to own so many XRGB-3's then? Don't tell me they made different models.RGB32E wrote:Famitakun is a Micomsoft employee!
Or is this simply their remaining stock?

Re: XRGB-3
That's at Micomsoft's offices or storage. Either remaining stock or defective units. Too hard to get ?
Re: XRGB-3
Oh I see now... damn I guess the rumors about Micomsoft attempting to phase out the XRGB-3 are true then...
Slightly off topic but is Micomsoft making an XRGB-4 and if they are, will it offer SCART/VGA conversion? I felt that was an essential feature for the 3 two of the best analogue signals out there. As good as the 3 was there's room for improvement.

Re: XRGB-3
it's time. I can't imagine too many people going for a XRGB-3 with the Mini available.Oh I see now... damn I guess the rumors about Micomsoft attempting to phase out the XRGB-3 are true then...
I don't think they've started anything yet. A XRGB-4 would basically be a deluxe Mini. I still think the Mini will get a 31khz upgrade, and if you really need VGA, add a Fury to the Mini.Slightly off topic but is Micomsoft making an XRGB-4 and if they are, will it offer SCART/VGA conversion?
Re: XRGB-3
A fully bugfixed B1 mode coupled with a Frame Meister in 'B0' mode would make for a very nice 'XRGB4' unit. Probably not going to happen though, still rather a niche market.

Re: XRGB-3
Let me rephrase, if you really need VGA output, add a Fury.
The Mini should be able to handle VGA inputs. You probably just need matching adapter with a sync combiner inside, see here:

Re: XRGB-3
Yeah did anyone try that with the UMSA yet? That would allow VGA to be pushed down the same switching matrix as SCART thus avoiding the cable swap, theoretically anyway.

Re: XRGB-3
I haven't had this thing hooked up in about a year. I tried it out again today, with the SLG3000....and it still looks like crap. Pixelated...umm...pixels...and jaggy as hell polygons. I'm primarily using my PS2.
Could this be that my monitor(which upscales everything to 720) is ruining the image?
Can someone show me a very clear picture, of a polygonal game, on this thing? Gradius V or something would be good.
I'm just not believing the hype here.

Re: XRGB-3
Sounds like you have it in B0 mode? Try B1 instead.

Re: XRGB-3
HELP!
Playing with a 480p signal from PS2 to XRGB-3 via component, then into a CRT PC Monitor. Monitor won't sync (image is all messed up), but change signal to 240p or 480i and it's fine. If I try it on a LCD it's 100% fine.
I suspect it's Vertical Frequency issue (monitor reporting a 59hz signal) with this specific PC CRT.... any ideas on what I can adjust (if anything) on the XRGB-3?
B1 mode is fine.

Re: XRGB-3
tried another component input ? unlocked v-sync ? Really never had any problem with that.
Re: XRGB-3
Yeah.... tried all that and no joy. Banged it through the EDGE and HDFURY (took the XRGB out of the equation) and it's perfect.
The XRGB-3 was seeing the image as 525p.... the EDGE see's it as 480p. Not sure if that's a red herring.
Will try the XBOX 1 and see if that's the same.

Re: XRGB-3
480p is called 525p in Japan, so that's ok....
Re: XRGB-3
Exactly the same with 480p mode on a XBOX 1. Must be another general compatibility issue.
Got to be honest though and say, feeding a CRT PC Monitor with a 480p signal is absolutely sublime. The games look truly stunning.

Re: XRGB-3
I was experimenting with a new SCART switch today (and somehow managed to break my Bluedelta SMART SCART at the same time, hey ho) and also playing with my newly chipped Gamecube. Basically I was screwing around comparing picture quality with the various scalers I had set up and I can confirm that if you're transcoding 480p in B1 mode, using the GAME IN connector rather than the D-Terminal connectors results in a significant reduction in picture noise. It's especially noticeable on the PS2 as we all know, but it happens on the Gamecube and Xbox 1 too.
So there you go, get a simple YUV to SCART adaptor block on your SCART switch and feed in component that way and get better picture quality. I made a note of this on the wiki since it doesn't seem widely known. Just remember to switch back to RGB when you are done otherwise you might not get a picture on your RGB consoles

Re: XRGB-3
Just got a brand new SCPH-7501, but I'm unable to get a stable picture with SCPH-1050 and XRGB-3.
When I use on PS2 it works fine, even if it's NTSC U/C (SCPH-39001).
Help!
I tried the settings on wiki, but still having problems.

Re: XRGB-3
Hi all,
I have been reading as much of this thread as possible and it is very informative.
I am in the market for a decent scaler for my retro systems as my Sony trinitron CRT is moving to a smaller room in my house and would like the option the play snes, saturn, md etc in another room.
If I get an XRGB-3 is there much setting up required between different consoles? I plan on using US SNES, region modded MD/32X, Jap Saturn and RGB modded N64 all via RGB.
I was hoping it would be case of setting it up the once and then just switching consoles, or will more effort be required??
I will be using B1 scanline mode, of course
Thanks

Re: XRGB-3
no, it's ok - much less hassle compared to the Mini. You also have two physical RGB ports which you can use with different settings - if required.If I get an XRGB-3 is there much setting up required between different consoles?

Re: XRGB-3
Thanks for the reply. I think i have read somewhere about "borders" on Saturn and MD with the xrgb-3 and wanted to check how much setting up woukld be required between each console.Fudoh wrote:no, it's ok - much less hassle compared to the Mini.

So in theory once I have it set-up as to me preference I should be happy enough with the image when swapping consoles??
Re: XRGB-3
don't know what you mean, you have a link ?I think i have read somewhere about "borders" on Saturn and MD
Re: XRGB-3
Ummm I will see if i canfind where I read it. It was something along the lines of a border to either the right/top or bottom left of the pic when playing saturn/md games. Basically, I just want to know if the pic will fill the entire screen (top and bottom) when running my consoles thru the xrgb-3?? I realise that if I have it set ti 4:3 then i will have the standard bars to the left and right which i am happy about.Fudoh wrote:don't know what you mean, you have a link ?I think i have read somewhere about "borders" on Saturn and MD
Re: XRGB-3
It won't fill the screen. B1 is a linedoubling mode and the output resolution is 480p, so if you have a source with 224 lines (Saturn for example), the signal will be doubled to 448 lines. The remaining 32 lines (16 on top, 16 on bottom) will remain black.
Re: XRGB-3
Ah ok, I get it. Thanks for taking the time to answer my qusetions. I have also read thru the guide on your website and that is very helpful.Fudoh wrote:It won't fill the screen.

So in theory, games will look best through a 4:3 pc monitor (lcd/tft)?? I think i have a Dell Ultrasharp 20" 4:3 somewhere that should do a decent job.
Re: XRGB-3
doesn't really matter which display you use. The display needs to upscale the 480p signal to it's native resolution. Some TVs do this great, some monitors do, others don't. On a TV set you can add overscan which eliminates the borders. On a monitor you usually can't.
