You don't need a cable with sync cleaner, it's unnecessary for the arcade stuff (the way it's implemented in that cable). Also, it's weird that in the pictures the cable's got capacitors on the RGB lines, because the PS2 doesn't require those.

like of all of us before you....
thx all. Unfortanelly you are right this PS2 csync with separator dont run, with a cheap PS2 scart it run very well, so do you think this cable is it good with luma sync with out separator?

Also it's so nice I play with my CPS1 & CPS2 and I never see a so nice picture with my OSSC vs PS
SAT port. I just played with saturn pad...I will configure my PS2 Stick.I am nonosto and approuved HAS.0
Glad it works now. Either way, try changing the jumper on the HAS PS2 adapter and set the CSync to TTL, then the cable with the sync stripper should work, too. Also, it is very simple to re-wire this cable, if you make some photos I can show you which trace to cut and where to solder.
If you really want a new cable, then this one will do the trick - https://www.retrogamingcables.co.uk...aystation-2-rgb-scart-cable-lead-sync-on-luma

That's a relief

IMO don't use the PS2 cable if you are using a scaler like the OSSC, it adds too much complexity when none of that is necessary.
Rather use a 8pin mini-din to SCART cable, and if you want to get fancy send the audio separately with a 3.5mm cable.

I don't know what the "Pound PS1/PS2 HDMI cable" is... Let me ask you this... Can the cable convert a 15khz RGBs signal into a 45khz digital signal?
If not, then nope it won't work.
Ok so I just looked it up... At 30$ I highly doubt it will support RGB to the level that we would need.
I could be wrong of course, but I'd say don't count on it.
Good Lord! Look at how awful these screenshots look!
Blurry stretchy trash!
Look at the double vision around the text...
That's a nice scaler... For me to poop on!

A Properly wired PS2 Scart cable is just a passthrough cable, just like the 8pin mini DIN to Scart cable, that's why I decided to offer the PS2 Scart cable adapter for HAS in the first place. PS1 Scart will work too, but the 330uF capacitors on the HAS would need to be bypassed (I made jumpers for this on the bottom of the HAS PCB).

Hey RGB,
I'm having some issues getting sync with my HASv3, OSSC and CPS2 18-in-1. (The CPS2 and the HAS works fine via SCART, but when I bring the OSSC into the mix, things take a turn...)
My setup is as follows:
-CPS2 18-in-1 (the weird little daughterboard between the CPS2 and the HAS is part of the 18-in-1, for anyone curious.)
-HASv3 8-din to SCART adapter
-OSSC (with SCART input, DVI output)
-DVI-to-VGA cable to 31k Nanao MS-2932 (Sega Naomi high res only) monitor
I can't get sync to hold. See attached screens.

You're most likely not outputting the right frequency that your High-res only monitor can handle. My guess is the OSSC is still putting out a 15khz signal, while your monitor is expecting 31khz (it's not 33k).
Here's the manual for your monitor, there's some more info in there pertaining to what kind of signals it's expecting:

So I am able to output a Saturn to the same monitor via the OSSC without issue, just not the CPS2.
Good catch on the monitor frequency typo. As I mentioned above, I am able to successfully output a Saturn to the same monitor via SCART and the OSSC. The CPS2 is the only piece of hardware that is giving me issues with it. I have largely left the settings on the HAS untouched--is there anything I should try altering on it?
The HAS V3.0 that you've got allows for some tinkering with the sync, but it doesn't change the actual frequency. The OSSC just line doubles the signal, so if the monitor doesn't like the doubled CPS2 frequency, you might be out of luck :/
An upscaler with frame buffering might do the trick.

If I am not mistaken there is IC but also has 2 visible ceramic caps on the border of the pcb, and resistors, seems a bit confusing ton understand the schematic of this, is it yours ? Could be interesting to put an official schematic. The only one available on the internet right now is the one I posted, hence the standard today.The official PS2 Scart cable doesn't, and it mustn't since the capacitors are on the console end.
The IC you see there is just a +5V to +12V booster to force 4:3 aspect ratio.

Guessing here,
Power cap for voltage IC
Voltage regulator for voltage IC
1 x 200R for 5V to 3V to push RGB mode
Not sure what else is going on.
