I'd say that it's likely an issue with your capture card or an issue with OSSC phase not being quite right. The RVL-101 at least shouldn't look like that, I can confirm that with direct component connection to an EDTV LCD I get perfect checkerboard from a BU99 chip Wii (which the RVL-101 should be). Try to get your hands on a little EDTV LCD with component inputs (it's handy to have anyway!), you can find them in 20" 4:3 size very easily and cheaply on like buy and sell listings just by searching for "20" TV" or "19" TV". It'll make comparing pixels a lot easier.
There is another possibility though, maybe the 240p patch you did didn't work quite right *and* your RVL-101 doesn't actually have a BU99 chip. Everyone has assumed that RVL-101s always have a BU99 AVE chip as all teardowns have shown them to, but maybe yours doesn't, who knows. Only way to know for sure is to do a teardown.
I don't think it should be the capture card, it doesn't have problems with the OSSC setting the phase with that or other resolutions.
Although if it could be an error by my part, using a different capture card through YPbPr input gives the same results between the two. Connecting directly to an LCD TV through component inputs, same results.
As for the 480p patch maybe not working on the apps I guess that could be a possibility, but I didn't do any manually for that galleries, that Beta build of the 240p TestSuite already uses an SDK with the fix. As well as eMGBA by Extrems themself.
Although as it affecting the results in the RVL-101, I don't think it could be that, I didn't share that screenshots but I also tried a retail game on progressive that uses 1:1 horizontal scale and no deflicker by default, same results and that uses Nintendo's SDK.
I think it may be possible that if the difference it's just on the AVE-RVL, maybe it won't be weird if at first the factories used the ones they had at hand when manufacturing them... just like the RVL-CPU-60, which was still on production when the RVL-101s were made at first, since most of Asia never got the RVL-101 and the 201.
But I'll have to manually check the AVE-RVL on the board to know for sure.
