GS Mode Selector: Development & Feedback

[stefanol69]

Any help on running this would be appreciated. I placed BOOT.ELF into mc0:/BOOT/, and HDLOADER.ELF in the same folder. My setup is V12+Crystal Chip 2.0 SLE (running ELF from uLE after shutting down BootManager)+HDCombo. Running BOOT.ELF gives me "No signal" on my TV, after few seconds I get a blink, and still "No signal".

Now, I know my TV can't display certain resolutions via component, which results in me not being able to see hdld_svr, ps2link, uLE in one of display modes, and Alone in the Dark: New Nightmare (which apparently runs in 720x240@50HZ by default, changing it to 60HZ brings me the picture) - they all run properly, yet the screen remains with "No Signal". On composite cables everything is viewable. I can only assume, that GSModeSelector runs at the beginning in the same resolution as hdld_svr, so if that won't be changed, I won't be able to provide the pics from debug screen. What happens afterwards? I also assume it runs HDLoader in pre-compiled resolution (which also gives me "No Signal". I know that 720x480i@60HZ, 720x576i@50HZ, and 720x480p@60HZ runs properly on my setup in games which allow it.

It certainly looks the same resolution as say hdld_svr and uLE.

Download and run 0.2 if you're curious as 0.3 and 0.4 hang before launching hdloader.

[stefanol69]

0.2 gives the exact same result. Also, uLE by default uses different resolution than hdld_svr, as I can run uLE without problems (720x576i@50hz, 720x480i@60HZ, 720x240@60HZ; the one giving problems would probably be 720x288 (if such one exists), without interlace).

Round 5

I have same results As Don Roberto.

v9 NTSC console
FMCB 1.8 custom patched and compressed HDL .8b
launched with uLE 4.29
HP 2335 monitor with composite, s-vid, component, VGA, and DVI in. PS2 connected to component in.

BTW, do you want our system settings for component out set to RGB, or component YCb/Pb Cr/pr. Or does it even matter.
I ask this because my monitor will not not display RGB correctly over the component inputs, so I'd need to switch to the VGA input if a RGB mode is invoked.

TO BE TESTED!
Now with PAD selection for:
[Circle] Non-interlaced NTSC 480p(640x448@59.940Hz) Frame mode (Read Every Line)
[Triangle] Non-interlaced PAL 576p(640x512@50.000Hz) Frame mode (Read Every Line)
[Square] Non-interlaced VGA-640@60(640x480@59.940Hz) Frame mode (Read Every Line)
[Cross] Interlaced HDTV-1080i(1920x1080) Field mode (Read Every Other Line)

@all

Some of TV / monitors sets have the feature of displaying the video input (AV1/HDMI/Composite/Component/VGA) setting.
For instance My LG LCD TV can do that. I just press [ENTER] button on remote control and it displays the info on screen (Component 1080i @60 Hz, Component 480i @60 Hz, etc).
From this point an so on (if you would not mind) I would like to be informed about that, too.

@Don Roberto / @urbigbro
Would you mind to let me know about what was reported by your TV/monitor sets about video input settings on GSModeSelector_v0.5 (Cooperative Test - 5th. Round)?

I infere (as I am not specialist) that our system settings should be:
- RGB -> PS2 connected via VGA cable to TV/monitor set VGA in
- YCb/Pb Cr/pr -> PS2 connected via component cable to TV/monitor set component in

PAL, Component.

Not near a camera at the moment, but it freezes and accepts no input after the first line consisting of the version, author and date.

Tks. I am analying the cause. It is related to the PAD source code. In fact, today is the first one I am learning to work with this stuff (PAD control).

-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-

Please try this. I put more debug messages in order to discover where in PAD functions the problem occurs.

If it freezes again, just tell me two last messages ok!

where do i put the files mc or usb stick?
