![]() ![]() It's not like they've crashed and need to be restarted, they're still capturing and streaming. When the OSSC/Framemeister are hit by a resolution change the screen goes black, no signal is being sent to the capture device while the HDCP handshake is negotiated again. I'm not sure what you expect the capture cards to do though. I made a nice little changing games graphic that displays over the capture window when we change systems so people don't have to just stare at a black screen. You may get a black screen when nothing is turned on but I mean nothing is being sent so what else is it going to display. Playing retro stuff through the framemeister and newer generation HDMI consoles. I've done the Extra Life 24 hour stream for the last 2 years in a row with the el gato and have had 0 issues with it, and we change games and consoles constantly through out it. I've never had issues with the elgato disconnecting or anything like that. For Saturn I don't really know of a work around. For N64 getting the HDMI mod prevents these drop outs as well. There are work arounds to it though, for PS1 stuff playing it on a PS3 will avoid these cutouts, since its playing the game through emulation. It's much less common in the PS2/GC/Xbox time frame. The resolution change drop out really only effects the PS1/Saturn/N64 era. Regardless of that all of my systems feed into the ElGato, so that I can stream or record from any one of them. Also my AV Famicom, and N64 are both HDMI modded. I used to run my SNES into it as well but I got a Super NT. In regards to what consoles I have hooked up, I run my Colecovision, Sega Master System, Genesis, PC Engine, NeoGeo, Saturn, PS1, Jaguar, PS2, PSP, Gamecube, Xbox, Dreamcast, and 3DO into it. I know it has DVI on it, but it doesn't have HDCP on that line. The reason you don't experience this with the XRGB3 is because its pretty much living in an analog world, so there's no digital rights handshake that has to go on when things change. The framemeister is slower than the OSSC, but how long it takes is going to fully depend on the HDMI devices in the chain and how long they take, some TVs/Receivers/Capture devices will re handshake faster than others. My understanding is its part, resolution change and how the upscaler is handling the image changes (going from line doubling to a de-interlacer) and part HDCP needing to re do its handshake with the things in the chain. The cutout isn't from the elgato when the resolution changes, its the framemeister and the HDCP handshake. This thread would have been accompanied with beautiful Panzer Dragoon Saga capture shots. Now I don't know where to turn, or what exactly the problem was. But apparently it can't run games output from the framemeister, even if it's supposed to support retro consoles (through composite). It also lets you edit footage directly from your TV, cutting out what you don't need. Maybe I should have picked up a slightly more expensive piece of hardware, but the fact that I didn't have to record directly to my laptop appealed to me. I'd really love to start capturing older games through the clear, RGB picture of the Framemeister mini, but. ![]() My Framemeister should be outputting 1080p, which I thought would mean that this thing could play whatever I threw at it, but nope. I only tested two, but neither one could get to the save menu or play the opening movie. But after each resolution change, a message along the lines of "signal not supported" would come up. So I picked up this piece of hardware the other day and I was pretty excited to see if it worked. Maybe make a thread on Resetera and start a blog. After all, it's only about fifteen hours long. I thought it might be fun to record the game, do a sleek edit, and translate the game for fun - even if an English version that is probably perfectly fine already exists (writing over the Japanese subtitles). Most games I own these days are in Japanese, and Panzer Dragoon Saga is no exception. This summer I played Panzer Dragoon Saga for the third time and decided that this time, I'm going to do it, I'm going to start recording games.
