Sega Genesis

XRGB-3 Specific settings

It is strongly recommended to use a cable or modified console that outputs pure/raw sync. Raw sync cables for both Genesis/Megadrive 1 and 2 can be obtained online. If you do not use raw sync, you may find that the picture blanks when the screen becomes bright.

Because the video clocks on NTSC and PAL consoles are different, you are strongly advised to use a genuine NTSC Genesis/Megadrive rather than a modded PAL unit. Using a PAL unit forced into 60hz can cause stuttering or other problems with sync.

XRGB-Mini Specific settings

Picture quality may be improved by using pure/raw sync cables.

Because the video clocks on NTSC and PAL consoles are different, you are strongly advised to use a genuine NTSC Genesis/Megadrive rather than a modded PAL unit. Using a PAL unit forced into 60hz can cause stuttering or other problems with sync. PAL60 handling is improved in firmware 1.07 but is still not as good as using a genuine NTSC console.

Megadrive titles which run in 480i or 576i rather than 240p/288p are currently incompatible with the XRGB Mini for unknown reasons.

OSSC Specific settings

Some adjustment of the analogue sync LPF may be required for best results.

If you want to play games that use the Megadrive/Genesis interlace mode (such as Sonic 2 in 2 player mode) adjust the H-PLL coast options so that pre is set to 3 and post is set to 3.

The vertical mask option can be used to hide the junk pixels that typically appear in the overscan area on the Megadrive/Genesis.

Because the video clocks on NTSC and PAL consoles are different, you are strongly advised to use a genuine NTSC Genesis/Megadrive rather than a modded PAL unit. Using a PAL unit forced into 60hz can cause stuttering or other problems with sync.
