Fuzzy PSone screen

Post by kaoru117 »

Well, I'm almost done with my GCp and I've installed the PSone LED mod and gotten it to display video and sound. My problem is, however, that the images displayed on the screen are fuzzy. The distortion varies from readable to almost static-like.

Does anyone know what could be causing such terrible video quality?

Thanks.

Is there a common ground between the screen an GC?

Screen wouldn't display anything at all if he didn't have common ground.

The screen will still display the game. It will just be distorted and will act like its vertical sync is gone. The reason my PSone screen on my NESp was all distorted was because of this.

Thats what happens if you don't have a common ground. Tho sometimes it would clear up and have color.

Btw what Voltage are you running through your psone screen?

Interesting. I've never gotten a picture of any sort any time the grounds weren't connected, just a black screen I think. Oh well, just trying to help.

May be a dodgey ribbon cable. Check that. Do you have a non-modded screen to test with, cause it may be your system as well.

Well, I fixed it last night. It was a problem of too much voltage.

Thanks for the help.
