So, long story short, my friend has a framemeister, hes got a SNES Jr., I preformed the Voultar RGB amp board mod. (The new board which doesnt require manually bridging a solder point for anything or doing a seperate single wire mod for rerouting Csync as that used to be needed with his old boards) I hooked it up via scart cable to my BVM in the following way:
SNES Scart cable>Female Scart socket cable that terminates in RGBS BNC (dont know if my female scart socket cable has sync stripper) and it plays perfectly.
My SNES SCART cable is a very cheap older unbranded chinese job.
I take it over to my friends place, we hook it up directly to his Framemeister's RGB in port (with Female SCART socket to Mini DIN adapter of course) via HIS Retro Gaming Cables SNES SCART cable (wired for Csync). This initially produces NO picture. We do have sound. After going into the sync options and dialing the sync level to around 5 or 6, we get EXTREMELY intermittent picture. Visible for half a second then gone for a few seconds etc.
Im thinking its just a bad cable. Its been in his setup for a while, he used to use it with an old model 1 SNES and it seemed to work fine. Physically, part of the SNES side connector has started to deteriorate and break (as all of my RGC cables eventually did) but I dont see any wires showing through or anything. We hooked his old SNES up again this way and initially got no picture at all but after trying about 5 times of re seating the game we got it to display fine with no drops, so maybe was the console or dirty game?
We also hooked the same cable up to his NS1 N64 thats also had Voultars RGB mod and we get no picture at all. (again this N64 displayed fine on my BVM setup with cheapo Chinese cable)
My thoughts are, he either needs some sort of sync stripper? OR The cable is trash? Or maybe theres something the Framemeister isnt liking here, sync wise?
We are at a total loss, any help is appreciated!
