I can't tell how the OSD looks when the console is on as it's only on for a second before it shuts off. Yes, when I was running the blanking line through the SCART connector, I saw a white screen when I turned on my PS1, so I assume that's the initial startup screen before the PlayStation logo comes on. Yes, with the switch, I am able to use composite normally. I can see a black and white screen when the switch is off but, as soon as I flip the switch, the TV shuts off.tongshadow wrote: ↑Sat Sep 16, 2023 3:39 pmHow does the OSD look when the console is on? Is it completely gone too? Could you at least see a glimpse of the RGB picture? With the switch, are you able to use composite video normally?
Edit: I made a voltage divider using a couple extra 75 ohm resistors I had. This cut down the 5V to 2.5V from the regulator to the switch. The TV doesn't shut off anymore once I flip the switch, but the picture remains the same; black and white. I can see the text get sharper and my OSD no longer functions when I flip the switch, but no color at all. Does this mean that blanking is not activated?
Digging through the internet, I found the following https://www.reddit.com/r/crtgaming/comm ... t_then_tv/
That's the same issue I have and it looks like it may be due to the PIP signal that is mixed with the OSD signal. So, I think I'm going to call it quits on this mod attempt. Thanks everyone!
