NAC Splitfire: JAMMA streaming solution

Let's check all of these things:

1) OSSC: Correct input? SCART vs. VGA plug, etc.
2) OSSC: Does it indicate a signal (H/V refresh rate, etc?)
3) OSSC: Confirm your output settings. You probably want Line2X or Line4X, it depends on the capture card. I have no experience with avermedia
4) Avermedia: Does it work with other sources?

VGA
2) OSSC: Does it indicate a signal (H/V refresh rate, etc?)
YES
3) OSSC: Confirm your output settings. You probably want Line2X or Line4X, it depends on the capture card. I have no experience with avermedia
Linex2 yes
4) Avermedia: Does it work with other sources?
YES in Line x2 max.

I finally managed to get an image by setting the H-PLL Precoast to 2 lines.
Works with cps1 atomiswave however no image with the C2 Puyo puyo 2 AV3 RGBS 262-P 15.97KHZ 60.9MZ system.
Do you have a solution?
PS: i have sound for the pcb.
 
I have tested with the Elgato hd60X its work fine.
Avermedia is not compatible with nac splitfire.
Question, pepeol tested with the Elgato Hd60S+?
 
I have a very interesting issue with my new Splitfire. I've talked with Eric about it who has been great, really went out of his way for some troubleshooting stuff, but ultimately we've ended up here.
I have a UMK3 board that I CANNOT get a video signal from. The AUDIO output from the splitfire works very well. I took my splitfire and OSSC over to my friend's house, where we tested on both his MK2 and UMK3 boards. They worked with no issue. At first I thought the issue might have been with the OSSC, because of not getting any video sync from the splitfire. However, the audio working made me think there could be issues elsewhere, but lo and behold there's something that doesn't like my UMK3 board, or my UMK3 board doesn't like. My UMK3 board and cabinet have zero issues at all with the existing JAMMA setup - all buttons/switches work correctly, monitor is fine, audio is fine, etc. But for some reason I just cannot get a video signal from the splitfire to my OSSC.
 
This is interesting - if I disconnect the video connector that goes from Jamma to the CRT, I get video output from the splitfire, no problem. It's like I can have one but not both.
Power issue? Board issue? Wiring issue?
 
are you using a real JAMMA cabinet or some sort of control box setup? If you are connecting it to a PVM or another video monitor, you might have 75 ohm termination on the sync signal which is dragging the level down low. JAMMA boards are not meant for this kind of termination.

the CRT that's in the cabinet, K7400.
It's an MK4 machine converted to UMK3.
 
Hello. I just got my split fire but i still dont have an scaler. Wich should i buy that has wide compatibility? normal OSSC? Someone recomended the retrotink 2x SCART but it seems its not availible anywhere. I have an elgato hdmi capture card.
 
Has anyone found a fix for the audio issues with the Splitfire? Do I need to lift or reflow the volume knob pot? I am getting crackling sounds and no feedback from the knob.
Using the following items with the setup in order.

New Astro City: Unit
SplitFire: (Black PCB version)
RGB's: jamma extender
RGB's: Reco 4.1
M72 Multi: Game
Extron: VGA/Audio 6ft cable (the one that has the 3.5 jack that runs along with the VGA cable).
Extron MVX 44 VGA A: This is main hub that splits my sources.
Rondo's: HD15-2-SCART
Retro Tink5X: to pull in the feed
Røde Stream X to tie it all together.

Thanks in advance.

I am in the same boat. Is OSSC the recommended scaler?

I use the OSSC to go into a PC 19" Monitor in the Mini Cute Repro. It works great. Depending on your purpose each scaler offers more features at a price point. @SC-Ultra and I tested ALOT of Arcade PCB's and 4K had a high compatibility so I would recommend the 4K CE if you can afford it
 
i would choose the full price 4k instead for arcade capture if u play a lot of tate games. the rotate feature is locked on the CE. is that alone worth the extra 200 or whatever bucks? i think so but others may dissagree. it really depends on your use case, but its something to take into consideration.

If you're using the 4k for capturing, you can just rotate in software.

True, for my use case which i capture as well as display on a big TV, I gotta use the rotate feature. Like I said, it's different use case for everyone but that's what I need.
