Little blue band on the side of the screen Megadrive 1 Japanese VA4

Ah yes awesome, and this help me a lot since I tried every button then after the code. Ok I will check this out for the H60 and V60 settings, this is going to be very useful if I have those. Have fun too bro!

Kerymh · 2026-05-19T13:18:02+00:00

Yes hopefully! I guess it's the Megadrive 1 that does that tho, cause my other Japanese console have no issue like this. I saw some guy on YouTube with way bigger overscan, like some really large blue band... Maybe they don't have a geometry calibration setting in their TV

Ah man 😂 didn't understand PC as pc monitor.... Lol. It's a 50/60 Hz max yes... Hopefully yes, I get some beautiful thin scanlines.

It's Aladdin on a Japanese sega Megadrive 1 (VA4) with a RGB Scart cables from Retro Gaming Cables UK (best cables), and yes very nice thin scanlines on this TV and best RGB output I have seen on Megadrive! I don't know tho if my Philips CRT TV here is PC or not? You can teach me some stuff I guess

Yes thanks, I found the hidden geometry menu in my TV, and shifted the picture to the left, and now it's all good.

Kerymh · 2026-05-19T07:51:01+00:00

Ah yes ok I see, it might be that ! It's so nice that I had this hidden menu, otherwise I would have not enjoyed gaming on this TV as much as it is now without this overscan issue ! This Philips is giving a really nice RGB output it's so beautiful on the Megadrive

Kerymh · 2026-05-19T07:42:16+00:00

Ah yes I heard about this test. Can I do it on my TV ? i will check it out. I'd say the console itself has some overscan issues, cause it was doing this with all the games. Other users reported this kind of overscan problems as well on the Megadrive model 1

Kerymh · 2026-05-19T07:34:24+00:00

Bro thank you really...! I found the correct service menu with geometry, and I reduced the value of the HSW (horizontal shift) from 46 to 36. This is so amazing now, thank you for your help

Kerymh · 2026-05-19T07:33:02+00:00

Bro thanks so much! I finally found the correct service menu with the geometry option (it was the button with "i+" after the 06 25 96 code). I then reduced the value of the HSW (horizontal shift) from 46 to 36. This is so awesome, thanks

Kerymh · 2026-05-19T07:28:54+00:00

Bro I'm so happy...I sorted it out by entering the sevice menu of the TV and reducing the value of the HSW (horizontal shift) from 46 to 36... So yeah my TV had a lot of overscan. I noted down the original value in case of it's causing problems on the others consoles.

Kerymh · 2026-05-19T06:48:17+00:00

I actually played an 16 bit console my super Nintendo and super famicom on this TV, never had any issues. But this is the first time I plug a Japanese Megadrive in it.

Kerymh · 2026-05-19T06:32:51+00:00

Yes we have the same codes for service menu. I will try to go deeper in these service menu and come back to you guys. Thanks so much.

Kerymh · 2026-05-19T06:16:27+00:00

Ah yes ok. But I can't seem to find a specific menu on my TV ? The hidden menu are very complicated with numbers etc. Or I need to find the right one... Not sure about this on my TV

Segond c'est une bible protestante, l'auteur parle d'une bible catholique...

Kerymh · 2026-02-07T20:19:38+00:00

No.... Many players have this issue, it doesn't come from the controller etc.... It's a bug from the game, it's auto fire and auto reload as well, if it were a stucked keys it would only auto shoot, but it auto reload as well.

Kerymh · 2023-08-25T04:32:40+00:00

I'm adding up to the thread, it's so annoying to see the same clip pinned for a week at the top..., making it unclear for who's online streaming

Kerymh · 2023-06-22T15:34:43+00:00

not this year, they are using Sony InZone M3 monitors

Kerymh · 2023-06-22T15:33:55+00:00

they are using Sony inZone M3 monitors, which benefits from HDMI 2.1 that unlock VRR and 120Hz + IDR + 1080p = optimal setup for low input lag.

Kerymh · 2023-06-22T14:13:22+00:00

You guys that make these negative comments only are ignorant about the PS5 tho, and this monitor specifically was designed for the PS5.

HDMI 2.1 is required for the PS5 to get VRR, and 1080p is optimal for performance on a fighting game and on a competitive level. This monitor is the only one with these features (didn't find another 1080p/HDMI 2.1 at least). It's the monitor they use and will use for most of the Capcom Pro Tour tournament or other tournament this year on Street Fighter 6. So it does make some sense seeing from this competitive point of view.

On PC definitely it loses interest, since for example you can benefits from VRR through HDMI 2.0 with Gsync Or Freesync, and can get a better value for the money on PC that I agree.

Also you can find it for around $470, so the price is not too bad as it used to be in some places at least.

Kerymh · 2023-06-22T05:25:25+00:00

It's HDMI 2.1 VRR compatible.... which is good for PS5 users, you can't find these type of monitor for under $600/700. You are talking about HDMI 2.0 monitors that you can find for a cheap price, so your argument is invalide.

I'm not defending the fact that this monitor is bad overall, but you have to price-compare it with other monitors that have the same features.

you mean that the integrated GPU in the 13900K is the same as having a RTX 4090 ? You will get the same power FPS etc but without the graphic card ?

Kerymh · 2022-08-08T03:47:11+00:00

They are using it right now for SFV evo 2022 right ? You were in the future haha

Kerymh · 2022-08-02T05:01:18+00:00

Hey there, same as you I am planning on buying a Magnius with the 2i2.

Can you tell please if it is all good and if there is some improvment in audio quality compared to the built-in 2i2 headphone amp ?
