It seems there is a damaged area and it looks like that some legs are bridged. I marked them on your picture.
Re: Recommendation for old PCI capture card for PS1

Today i got them. Both are working fine under Windows XP and Windows 7 64 Bit. Sadly they have the same problems. But i found a solution for this ghosting issue. The solution is to set the Yadif Deinterlacing filter at capturing. Before, i tried to deinterlace the video after capturing. That takes …

Thank you for the added details, I had indeed misunderstood . My hands-on experience with 240p/288p is practically non-existent and a long way behind me . That being said, what you are describing does look like the capture card reacting badly to what the console is outputting . Maybe a field being …

I would instead suggest getting an OSSC and hooking that up to a modern capture card. If you connect your PS1 to the OSSC using a RGB SCART cable, you will get pristine footage. This is a very expensive option. Btw. i like the retro look of using composite or s-video. There is likely nothing wrong …
Recommendation for old PCI capture card for PS1

Hi, i'm searching a capture card which is compatible with the PS1 video modes. Mainly i use cheap USB video grabbers. I used different models with different chipsets but they have all a problem. When i capture at 352x288 it works fine, but i have missing lines. This can be seen at fonts. But when i …

When the known games running without issues, then i have no problems with these cards. I will take a look at them. They're some offers, so it's good available.

Is there a clone which is better than a real SB16? In other words, is there a clone without the SB16 bugs, vibra issues etc... ?

That's difficult. I think they had 2 arms and a body. Also they were more detailed. The orange tone was more like Crash Bandicoot. EDIT: The background was black and it's possible that only the faces were on the front cover. EDIT2: Added an embrassing painting from the front cover. I painted it with …
Searching game name with orange creatures on the front cover.

Hi, i don't have much memories of it, but i search a game name. Like the topic says, on the front cover were orange creatures. I think they were four of them with different sizes and they had elephant trunks. Possibly it was in a Big Box case. I can only remember one scene of this game. I'm very …

Matrox Mystique emulation would be interesting for running supported games with MSI (Matrox Simple Interface). Also the bundled games would be running and perform better than on real hardware. And the Mystique has a very unique graphic look, because of it's missing 3D features.

Yup, it is as we suspected. The clipping/distortion is not related to the DSP version, it's a shortcoming of the Vibra chip itself. On the positive side, with DSP 4.16, you will have fewer hanging note bugs. This matters if you decide to add an external MIDI device or a wavetable daughterboard at …

Doom, WarCraft 2 and Skyroads seem to be good test cases for the Vibra distortion bug. Check here and also here for distortion examples documented by James-F. I've got the Vibra 16XV CT4170. It has DSP version 4.16. For my test i used the 50 Hz WAVE file posted by @digistorm and i tested Doom and …

The chaingun in Wolfenstein 3D is also very good to check the clipping issue. Doom, WarCraft 2 and Skyroads seem to be good test cases for the Vibra distortion bug. Check here and also here for distortion examples documented by James-F. I can test only Doom, i don't have the other games. The …

Thanks for the replies. In a offering i saw a screenshot that the card with colored jacks have surely the DSP V4.16. I won a auction today and got a CT4170 with colored jacks for 10,50 Euros incl. shipping. I hope the price is ok. The card seems to be a decent SB 16. Then i can also check if the …

I have questions to the Vibra 16XV CT4170. The list says that it doesn't have the hanging note bug. Here on retronn.de it says that it has DSP V4.13. So that card must be have the hanging note bug? But i read also that some other cards have DSP V4.16. And what's the difference between the chipsets …
