Protection? Uh... It only needs to output proper SCART levels.
I guess if the sync is TTL and of a high voltage that isn't good for the long term health of the OSSC.
But remember, even the HAS must output TTL sync to get the Taito F3 working (it is low voltage however, and shouldn't be an issue).
If you can display it on a PVM/BVM without any issues (aka high voltage TTL sync would be bad for a PVM as well) I'm almost positive its fine for the OSSC.
Poorly, the conversion has many color imperfections and artifacts added from the NTSC compression.
I highly recommend you toss that cable in the trashcan where it belongs.
How are you getting the audio from the CPS2... RCA jacks on the CPS2 itself or JAMMA edge/HAS 3.5mm jack?
I suspect so many of you want to use this cable because you own a LCD TV and for some reason think this will A) work and B) actually look good.
I'm here to tell you that...
A) it most likely will NOT work and B) even if it does work it will look like shit because LCDs will never understand that a sub 480 resolution image can be progressive (aka it treats everything <=480 as interlaced).
If you own a CRT you can disregard both A) and B).

Quick question- I'm trying to figure out how I would get stereo output from a CPS2 while using a HAS. I was planning on getting this Retro Access cable:
https://retro-access.com/collection...ad-for-rgb-upgrade-boards?variant=47694418387
then using a stereo RCA to female 3.5mm adapter from the CPS2 to the 3.5mm audio connector on the SCART cable. Would that work?

It's basically the same thing you are talking about doing with the cable above (only I think its in a much neater package).
The kit comes with a 8-pin mini-din cable (male/male) so all you would need is the RCA to 3.5mm audio cable.
Keeping the audio and video cables separate also helps reduce video noise in my experience.

So this product solves my issue AND gives me a new soldering project?? SOLD.

My Mak Strike used it only with the MV1C, I read that my Supergun (MK) does not attenuate the voltage in the Sync line, it is direct, it does not have any type of resistor.
I have never connected to the OSSC, I do not want to fry it. I have always had it connected to the PVM without worrying, with a common scart cable, I did not know that it could also be damaged by the high voltage TTL.
I want the HAS for CPS2 and Neo Geo MVS, I do not have other arcade boards.

Oh, yea that might damage the OSSC over time...
I read pro devices like PVM/BVM are made to work with TTL so I guess they are ok (I'd still be a little concerned).
If it was me, I'd simply add a 470 ohm resistor onto the sync line dropping its peek to peek level, then feed this into the OSSC.

Looked around in the various forums/sign up sheets, etc. but couldn't find an answer, but I have a question:
I have a HAS 3.1 & am looking to get a few hats for it (4p cps2/konami, VGA, etc). & was wondering if the hats being made for the upcoming 3.2/3.3 release would be compatible.
As an aside, I've been loving how the HAS fits in a small little box making it super easy to transport around. I've been taking it around the US for various Fighting Game Community events for the competitive Vampire Savior & SSF2X scenes over here and always get a ton of compliments/inquiries about it. In fact…I see some of those folks here in the thread asking about the sign up sheet
Thanks again for all you do RGB, & everyone else who's helped with the project!

Oh I almost forgot to tell you...
After you add the 470ohm resistor to the sync line, you'll also need the following settings in the OSSC menu to make it work with MVS.
Pre Coast: 3
Post Coast: 3
H Threshold: 10.46 (or slightly higher until the sync locks)
CPS2 will work AOK with OSSC's default settings, but not the Neo-Geo.

for the right side issue I fix it with TV's service menu, so it from CRT. But I have always poor colour with my OSSC.

The "issue" you are talking about is the OSSC is displaying a image outside of what would have been viewable on a real CRT tube.
Genesis also dose this, again nothing wrong with the display or the OSSC you are just seeing further than you were ever indented to be able to see.
I WOULD NOT recommend you make adjustments to your TV's service menu, again nothing is wrong with the way the TV is rendering the image.
Since I was talking about it and Darksoft's MVS multi firmware update/release required me to hook it up...
This is that fantastic little etim adapter in use.

That's what I was wondering too about that add on board. I guess that PS2 port only outputs pure RGB and not YPbPR (aka component).
The HD Retrovision PS2 cable is a pass through cable with no conversion electronics inside like the Genesis 2 cables they make. At least that's my understanding, from what I've read, and now with what you've said.
