Yup, but the idea is to get an analogue YPbPr signal from the GC into the OSSC so outside of the OEM component cables (or the Insurrection industries ones) the best way to do that is to use a GCVideo based HDMI solution and convert it back to YPbPr so the OSSC can work its magic.strayan wrote:Huh? The OSSC was designed to take analogue signals and output digital.bobrocks95 wrote: Edit: I see Extrems himself recommends simply using a cheap HDMI to YPbPr converter.

Ummm GCVideo outputs YPbPr.
Why would anyone wanting to output YPbPr to ossc do so via a HDMI to YPbPr converter?

Re: Cloning the Gamecube component cable
Sorry I’m obviously a little behind the times but what are the options to send a YPbPr signal to an OSSC? Wouldn’t you need to use a GCHD and some component cables or like extreme suggested use a converter with the Carby?Syntax wrote:Ummm GCVideo outputs YPbPr.

Re: Cloning the Gamecube component cable
Since the WiiDual 1.0 and 1.1 board revisions have different hardware ID's (and since the 1.0 revision is apparently quite rare) would it be possible for the standard GCVideo releases to only disable VSYNC if using the 1.0 board revision?Unseen wrote:[*]BUT: This does not come for free, support for the separate VSync output and the undocumented mode switch pin had to be disabled on WiiDual. This should affect only a tiny minority of users.
Just curious, since the GCVideo 3.0 releases hoped to merge support for all hardware types, what are the main differences between the standard GCVideo 3.0e releases and the 3.0e releases on your site? Is the only difference now that your versions still support the H/V Sync outputs on the WiiDual, whereas the standard GCVideo releases dont currently support any VSYNC output?citrus3000psi wrote:Hardware WiiDual and WiiDual 1.1 are labeled on the boards. From what I remember without looking back at my notes the initial WiiDual I used an input only IO on one of the H/V sync outputs. So on HW1.1, I swapped pins from the VData[0] to fix the problem.
To keep these separate I created my own hardware ID's for compiling.
So if you previously installed a 3.0 build from one of my compilations you can grab 3.0e from here: http://dansprojects.com/firmware/WiiDual/
The initial WiiDual 1.0 is pretty rear most units are rev 1.1
Re: Cloning the Gamecube component cable
They don't, at least not since some people flashed one of the pre-3.0e releases from me to their board with an external tool, ran into weird problems and reported them on my Github page.Link83 wrote:Since the WiiDual 1.0 and 1.1 board revisions have different hardware ID's
No, the two functions require incompatible I/O standards and that cannot be changed at runtime.(and since the 1.0 revision is apparently quite rare) would it be possible for the standard GCVideo releases to only disable VSYNC if using the 1.0 board revision?

Re: Cloning the Gamecube component cable
I didn't clarify, but I already have an HDMI modded GameCube, and was looking for a component output solution. Unfortunately the best option seems to be a converter (just not wanting another wall wart power adapter...).Syntax wrote:Ummm GCVideo outputs YPbPr.

Hopefully the OSSC Pro will resolve this whenever it's out.

Just as silly until the OSSC Pro comes around, but at least they were an all-in-one solution without a separate power supply or anything.maxtherabbit wrote:what do you think is happening inside of the carby comp cables?bobrocks95 wrote:Pretty silly since it's going right back to digital with the OSSC

Re: Cloning the Gamecube component cable
Sorry to double post, but does anyone else have the high fidelity version of GBI working with an OSSC and GCVideo-DVI 3.0d + an HDMI to YPbPr Converter? Doesn't want to sync for me.

Also, 96kHz is useless: 48kHz is already enough to exceed the bandwidth of human hearing.

In your opinion all upsampling is useless? Nowadays you have audiophile gear advertising the ability to upscale and upsample up to 11.2 MHzUnseen wrote:Also, 96kHz is useless: 48kHz is already enough to exceed the bandwidth of human hearing.
![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)
The one benefit that seems realistic is that gear can have an easier time processing (needing less filtering?) with higher sample sources, but who knows.

Re: Cloning the Gamecube component cable
No, upsampling before D/A-conversion is a very common (and useful) method to simplify the design of the required reconstruction filter. If you have a 44100 Hz signal and convert it without upsampling, you need a reconstruction filter that "closes up" at 22050 Hz (half sample rate) but still lets everything pass at around 20kHz - designing such a filter is quite hard. By upsampling the signal before conversion to e.g. 88200Hz, you now just need a filter that passes everything at 20kHz and closes at 44100Hz - if the upsampling is done properly, there is no signal present between 22050 and 44100Hz because there wasn't any in the original signal either. Such a filter is much easier to design and implement because the curve is much flatter.fernan1234 wrote:In your opinion all upsampling is useless?
It gets even better: If upsample even more and apply some mathematical trickery, you can generate a signal that only needs a single-bit DAC instead of a 16 bit one - you might remember CD players advertisements talking about "1-bit DACs". This works by ensuring that the noise introduced by reducing the signal from 16 to just 1 bit is concentrated in the part of the spectrum that is higher than the original signal and letting the reconstruction filter remove it. This technique is called delta-sigma-modulation and is the basis for almost any high-quality audio ADC and DAC on the market today.
But for storage or transmission it's just a waste of bits and can even introduce audible artifacts due to intermodulation. This video has some nice demonstrations.
Yes, some kinds of processing can benefit from higher sample rates - but you would upsample at the point of processing.The one benefit that seems realistic is that gear can have an easier time processing (needing less filtering?) with higher sample sources, but who knows.
Maybe Nintendo expected the speaker/headphone to act as a low-pass filter? =)Extrems wrote:But how am I supposed to pass through more of the high frequency garbage a real Game Boy has? :(

How did you do that to the ColecoRGB board? Where did you add the potentiometer on that board?

Re: Cloning the Gamecube component cable
Ended up solving this problem buy buying a DVI to VGA adapter (the oldest looking one I could find) instead of using a HDMI to VGA adapter and it now works perfectly.Extrems wrote:I'm guessing it's a GTF vs CVT thing? Both are VESA, mind you.
Re: Cloning the Gamecube component cable
If I'm using the official component cables, should I set the swiss "AVE Compatibility" setting to "CMPV-DOL"?
Re: Cloning the Gamecube component cable
Sorry for bumping this thread but the reason is there seems to be a new internal video solution called GCDigital in the works.
So extrems, if you are still around here, do you remember our little discussion of 4:4:4 RGB video data?
Now previously that was deemed to troublesome/expensive, but I have been thinking
could it work with a man in the middle device...
Let's say you have a pcb (much like SD2SP) that goes into the HI-speed port and connects to the internal board (such as GCvideo or GCDigital hardware).
Could we then achieve true RGB out of the cube, amongst other mods, like maybe 24 bit colour?
Because if it can, I could see the following benefits of such a mod:
-Less expensive and troublesome to realize because the hardware required to do all the work is already there (the internal mod).
-Audio is (presumably also on GCDigital) already taken care of so you have 1 HDMI output.
-Some games may perform certain tasks in the embedded frame buffer like stencil operations and I believe Rebel strike does AA? Those games may cause problems, but for those certain titles, you can turn off the device and fall back on the normal YUV output. This way you have 100% compatibility.
It could be an option for those with internal mods to want the absolute best image quality out of a cube.
With a new internal mod in the works this topic has been on my mind yet again. The GCDigital mod is being developed I believe by PixelFX.co which consists of several people, one of which is citrus3000psi, is he still active here? I have a GCLoader (partly his work) which is excellent.
Anyway, here is the twitter:

Let's hope the answer is equal to the following sentence in that scene.
