Are you playing it on a CRT? It’s pretty simple to tell if it’s 50 or 60 Hz,
50 Hz PAL will play in slow motion and have a letter box screen.
60 Hz will play full speed and full screen.
My guess it’s already been modded.
It still has pretty severe black bars, especially when compared to the MiSTer core.
Yes, I'm playing it on a JVC 36 D-series. I enabled 48hz in the service menu. I guess, I should turn it off and see how the Neo Geo operates.
*Update* So, turned the console back on and turned off the 48hz in the service menu. With the setting disabled, the picture can't sync and is basically scrolling endlessly.
I'll explain my setup as best as I can:
JVC 36 D Series
Extron Crosspoint 12 x 12 Component Out
HD Retrovision Cables and Connectors
Neo Geo AES 3-6
I believe the mod was attempted but not finished. So, I think I'll need to either revert it back to stock and then redo it, or I can try and patch it up to just complete the work that was started. My first question would be obtaining the timing crystals. I haven't been able to make too much sense out of that. I have general grasp on the frequencies, just want to make sure the size is correct and would fit the console. Would appreciate help on that.
I was also reading up on the 3-6 and there looks to be an NTSC routing option for the wire/resistor that connects the chip to the PAL 1. Is a standard wire fine to solder as a bridge, or should I use a resistor? Is this necessary or not? I think my overall goal at this point is just to do pure NTSC conversion and not work in the weeds of PAL color timings.
