Anyone using a Framemeister with Mame PC?
« on: December 28, 2013, 10:33:02 am »
Hey guys, got a framemeister to help add scan lines to my Mame PC using hyperspin.   Can't seem to get it to work.  Makes subtle changes to the game, when I scroll through the Framemesiter video settings, but nothing major happens.  I'm using it with a new Sony 55" KDL900WA TV.   

Do I need to change the video output settings on the PC running hyperspin?   Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Never heard of it. Got a link?

Edit: Googled it. Did you see this section from here: http://junkerhq.net/xrgb/index.php/XRGB-mini_FRAMEMEISTER

Known problems with firmware (as of 1.07a)
 Slow switching between processing modes - On games that switch between interlace and progressive (e.g Resident Evil on N64, Pinball Illusions on Amiga) the mini is very slow to switch processing modes, leaving the player with a blank screen for too long and interrupting game play.
 If the Mini is set to 480p or 576p output and the signal changes from 240p or 288p to 480i or 576i, the picture on the mini becomes unstable and will not return to normal until the user opens the VISUAL_SET menu and manually adjusts the H_POS setting.
 Changing from a 576i to 240p screen mode can cause the Mini to blank the screen. To work around this you can change the input channel on the Mini and then change it back again.
 Scanlines do not work correctly on 1080p output mode (because only 1 instead of 2 in every 4 lines are darkened, which doesn't look good).
 Scanlines do not work correctly for 288p (PAL) material unless the Mini's output is set to 576p.
 Over-saturated colours when using 480p output with scanlines - When set to 480p output and using scanlines, some sources have a strange over-saturated picture (see [1] for an example).
 Adjusting H_WIDTH or V_WIDTH when the Mini is set to 480p or 576p output mode can cause it to display a blank picture, requiring a settings reset.
 Adjusting H_WIDTH or V_WIDTH causes the screen to blank momentarily, making it fiddly to adjust. Other scalers can adjust picture width and height without blanking the screen at all.
 Aspect ratio controls are reversed, selecting 4:3 aspect ratio actually enables 16:9 aspect and vice versa.

I read all that...that's not the issue. Something with the Sony TV not letting the Framemeister do it's job.  Anyone using one with a Sony HDTV?

Don't have any experience with the new ones, but the old HD CRT Sony TV's had tons of post-processing that would cause issues.
Built in line doublers that can't be turned off, etc.
