My bad. It didn't pop in my head until I was typing out the post. What threw me off was the other consoles work. I don't use the ATP-300 after seeing stuff about it on Bob's podcast.

It requires repair.
On the one hand I want every switch working, I fixed everything so far, even PCB trace repair after blown up multiplexer.PaulieORF wrote: My bad.

I see in the first post, it says you don't provide support for damage from superguns. What's the best way for me to go about getting it repaired?
That dude from Windy Shitty Gaming is such an idiot. Why hasn't he sent everybody a sticker and disclaimer yet for his death machine of a product? Or maybe put something on his website, even a manual link? Feel bad for Super G having to waste time on this. If it were me I'd refer them to WCG, you're a better man than I.superg wrote:You should've started with that...PaulieORF wrote: Plot twist?

Just use one power supply I provide with switches and a barrel plug splitter, should provide enough current to power several switches.clintkolodziej wrote:superg, would you recommend any power supplies that could power both a gscartsw v3.4 and gscartsw_lite at the same time (perhaps with a pig tail between the two)?

Awesome, i'll give that a shot. Didn't realize one power supply had enough juice to power both. Thanks! I'll keep the other power supply as a backup then.superg wrote:Just use one power supply I provide with switches and a barrel plug splitter, should provide enough current to power several switches.clintkolodziej wrote:superg, would you recommend any power supplies that could power both a gscartsw v3.4 and gscartsw_lite at the same time (perhaps with a pig tail between the two)?

From what I understand on the retrofixes webpage they mention that it's either 75ohm terminated or TTL ("This kit can be set to TTL sync if required."). If you choose TTL mode you should have 470 resistor in your cable, if you choose 75ohm, the resistor is there.GunstarSilver wrote: Retrogamingcables checked the mod I had installed and advised to get the ttl pass through version of the pack punch: That board is supplied as 75 ohms impedance as default, which means that they have the 470 ohm or similar value resistor installed on the board, therefore you need our cable wired for TTL, which is a pass-though. If the board was set to TTL, then this would mean that our cable would need the 470 ohm resistor inside the AV plug.
Any idea what’s going on here?
Cool so to my knowledge it’s set to 75ohm and the cable is just passing it through. Any idea why the gscart switch is not then passing that on to the screen when I’m using the cable wired for TTL passthrough but it does work when plugged in directly to the Scart to BNC connector?superg wrote:From what I understand on the retrofixes webpage they mention that it's either 75ohm terminated or TTL ("This kit can be set to TTL sync if required.").

Now I'm confused. First of all I would advice to measure both of your cables sync pin resistance.GunstarSilver wrote:Cool so to my knowledge it’s set to 75ohm and the cable is just passing it through.

Your unmodded NES doesn't provide RGBS signal. PVM accepts only RGBS signal, the same is OSSC.djdave wrote:First off, thanks for the gscartsw_lite switch! Great device. Mine arrived toady and is working great for my SNES, Xbox, Genesis, and more, with one output going to my PVM and one to my OSSC.
My NES is proving slightly problematic. I have this cable:

which goes from my un-modded NES into the switch. I'm not getting anything on the PVM display, and my OSSC is saying "no signal."
Sorry for the "basic" question, but I haven't found the answer with search. Thanks!

Ok,thank you -- I missed that subtlety of this. Next up, modding the NES....superg wrote:Your unmodded NES doesn't provide RGBS signal.

Looks like that cable takes composite video/audio from the NES and converts to SCART (instead of the RCA-type connectors). I believe the gscartsw will forward the composite video signal but your downstream devices need to know to pull composite video from SCART, if they are expecting a RGBs signal (like the OSSC/Framemeister/PVM) then it won't work. Looks like this cable was designed for SCART enabled televisions, but those that accept a composite input instead of RGBs.djdave wrote:Ok,thank you -- I missed that subtlety of this.

Retro Access (retro console accessories)/Retro Console Cables should be able to make one for you, just put in the notes how short you want it.hakotaku wrote:Any suggestions for the shortest possible cable to connect my gscartsw_lite to my ossc? They're pretty much right next to each other.

Everything works like a dream. superg you rock! People like you busting their ass to build high quality niche products like this are the reason the retro community is thriving. There aren't a whole lot of people out there with the knowledge to build these type of things, let alone the resources, and manufacturing connections, time, and DRIVE to actually do this.... and I say this as a professional software engineer who studied CS and EE.
Keep doing what you're doing!
I have one question that MAY have been answered before in this thread or the previous one, but is there any risk in leaving the gscart plugged in, in standby mode for extended periods of time? I keep my consoles powered off completely unless I'm playing them (I turn the plug strips off). But I've been keeping my gscart on the same strip as my TV and Framemeister, which is always plugged in.

You can't rely on the notification emails....they're not very reliable on many different forums. If you really wanna get one, you have to just check the thread regularly. These didn't just go on sale and immediately sell out, there was a lot of notice given and they stayed on sale for several days.umi wrote:Great, missed another batch.... although I am still subscribed to this post, it has NOT been sending me updates on the thread (I have no tried unsubscribing and resubscribing).

Yes I realize that, however I was checking for months, missed the first time obviously due to barely any stock, and guess what, I have more important things to do then check a thread all day, so eventually when notifications stopped it slipped my mind. The fact that nothing came for weeks says they are more than just broken. A simple mailing list would rarely if ever have that problem (OSSC did it right).eric90000 wrote:You can't rely on the notification emails....they're not very reliable on many different forums.

It's enough to check once a week, I constantly update the thread. RetroRGB always posts to his Facebook and Twitter that switches are available for pre-order / purchase.umi wrote: Yes I realize that, however I was checking for months, missed the first time obviously due to barely any stock, and guess what, I have more important things to do then check a thread all day, so eventually when notifications stopped it slipped my mind.

It's not a matter of life and death (I'm trying to set this up so I can game a bit more, I don't have much time so I'd like it to be high quality and as enjoyable as possible), it's more that highly flawed systems that don't get fixed annoy me...
