Hi! ;)

Following a 2019 article on Arcade Otaku, I wanted to thank Leonard Oliveira :saint::thumbup:, who had highlighted this Mode at the time.

So I resumed my testing, which I had interrupted a few years earlier.

While searching, I realized that the crystal oscillator in my Scud Race was labeled 32 kHz, not 31 kHz.X/

And then I thought, "Hmm, what an idiot!" But obviously, a monitor can't handle a 32 kHz signal, so it's limited to 31 kHz. How can it do that? Well, no, lol. :rolleyes:

That's when I got the idea to connect the Sega Model 3 to my HD-VC9900 VGA/CGA/RGBS/RGBHV to HDMI video cable on my PC monitor.

It wasn't easy and didn't work the first time, and I still find it too confusing and unstable, but there's progress.

I set the HD-VC9900 to RGBHV and a resolution of 800 x 600. "I managed to set it higher, but it only worked twice; after that, it was no longer possible."?(

The image was pink, so I went to the post Sega Model 2/3 A/B/C - CRX and how I stopped worrying and learned to love the bomb, where Trol talked about adjusting the "Playback" and "Clamp" settings.
