Xrgb problem

Post by Sigyl »

Hey guys! I need some help please.

I bought a new xrbg3 and connected it to my tvs vga input. I tried some settings with the xrgb menu which worked well. But after unlocking the v-sync mode, suddenly the tv screen turned black. After that i couldn't do anything else. Even pushing the power button on and off was effectless.
Since then, the xrbg3 doesn't change from power on to standby mode, for reseting the unit. I unplugged the xrbg3 from the power source, waited 10 minutes and plugged it in again. Still it didn't switch to the standby mode anymore. If anyone of u has knows good advice, please tell me.

How to reset:

It sounds like you disabled standby mode with the power management setting:

If you can't correct the settings to get a picture to revert the power management setting, hold the two buttons and then connect power.

There is a new problem with my new xrgb3.

I have played my dreamcast with the xrgb3 in B1 mode. The picture looks very good and the scannlines setting worked very fine. Yesterday i have tried some other settings in the menu. I do not remember what i have changed. After that i returned to the B1 mode for gaming. But it was not possible to get scannlines. Resetting and changing the power-management of the xrgb3 was unsuccessful. I also installed new the Firmware 2.12 and Fw B1 but the scannlines don't work. This little beast is driving me creazy! :twisted: Now i have no more ideas. Is there someone else with a similar problem with the xrgb3?

Sorry for my bad english :oops:

How is your DC connected to the XRGB ? The XRGB-3 can't overlay your typical 240p scanlines onto a 480i picture, so maybe you had a 240p title running before, but now you tried 480i ones ?

The DC is via vga connected with the xrgb. I was playing only two games on the xrgb. First one was Fast Striker and the last game i have played was Sturmwind. Yes you have right Fast Striker is a lowres, and Sturmwind is a 480i game.

Doesn't matter via VGA. The incoming resolution is 480p

It's been quite some time since I used the XRGB-3. Is it supposed to support scanlines for 480p sources ?? Somebody remind me, please!
