Title: gx4000 and xrgb framemeister
Post by: Mmm on 17:03, 08 June 15
Hi,
does anybody knows how to connect the gx4000 to the xrgb mini from framemeister ?
I am using a regular scart cable and this cable:
EuroSCART to Framemeister XRGB Mini adapter cable csync (https://www.retrogamingcables.co.uk/micomsoft-xrgb/european-scart-to-framemeister-xrgb-mini-converter-with-csync-lm1881-for-sale)


The xrgb does not recognize any signal.
Thanks

For me, I needed to use the adapter cable without the sync stripper in it, then it fired up fine providing you're using a full rgb scart cable (I.e. one that isn't just a basic composite signal one)

Good luck, and don't forget to update the framemeister-firmware to the 2.00 - it's a pretty fast firmware  :D

The same for me, as I also thought about buying a framemeister and any info/review is welcome!

Im a dilettante to make pics an i have only the "camera" of my GalaxyS5-Mini.
Ok, i will try it  :) (next week thursday) but dont expect anything  :(

Do you have a tip, which game/demo i can choose for image- and scrolling tests?

Relentless is a good candidate. You should have a smooth horizontal scrolling. If it's jerky, it's not as expected  ;)

And for image perhaps batman forever? it has a pic near the end that i think it will be tricky for the xrgb...

and this demo perhaps will do the xrgb suffer  :laugh:

Hi,
I finally have succeed to connect the gx4000 trough the xrgb-mini with this new cable:


EuroSCART to Framemeister XRGB Mini adapter cable csync (https://www.retrogamingcables.co.uk/micomsoft-xrgb/european-scart-to-framemeister-xrgb-mini-converter-with-csync-lm1881-for-sale)


powered via usb.


I tried Relentless. The picture is clearer than the direct rgb connection to a led TV but, as Gerald predicted,  is jerky.


I will try to get better results and then i will make a video so you can see.

The only way I have found to get Relentless Smooth on any digital/vga display is with ACE running on Morphos on a MacMini G4 1.5ghz. This alone makes it the best CPC emulator in my book.
