I understand the signal being weird when working with HDMI, but VGA doesn’t need the kind of power that a digital signal needs and in theory, my original setup should have worked fine. It works, I won’t really complain, but my question still is why the VGA didn’t work. The card also has that weird tearing/artifact thing that it does when recording off the Switch, but I know that was fixed in the firmware update that’s coming. Still more testing needs to be done to confirm this though, but it looks promising. I noticed a few instances of frame drops, but with how specific they were, I believe they were the fault of the Dreamcast. Only complaint is an HDMI doesn’t have as nice colors as VGA, but that’s something I can mess with in editing. But, I plug the upscaler into a splitter and then the card, it appears to have no issues. The card won’t recognize the output from it as a video signal. I’ve done a few tests and while I haven’t gone into full detail of it to see if it truly works, here’s what I found: I really would like to have a consistent frame rate for the sake of video quality, so if anyone knows of some settings I could tweak to get it to work, it would be most appreciated.
HDMI video is fine with other consoles, nice and smooth, the frame rate issue is only with VGA. It doesn’t have the frame rate problems, but is unusable due to the card spazzing frames at random (pushing them to the side of the screen, smushing a copy of the current frame to the top of the screen, etc.) and the flashing with that is horrible. I did get a VGA to HDMI converter to use in the setup originally.
This is my only VGA source to test with, so I’m unable to see if it’s just a VGA problem with the card or VGA with the Dreamcast specifically. I did do another test with a 60FPS DC game and found I was having the exact same issue. The problem appears to be with the processing on the card itself. I have tried both CPU and GPU encoding, a different capture software, swapping VGA ports on the splitter, plugging the cable directly into the card, even swapping USB ports, nothing has worked.
