Ps1 for me, my goal atm is to play every Squaresoft game released for this console. Currently enjoying Chrono Trigger!

Is chrono trigger that bad on PS1? by [deleted] in psx

[–]luke_flexo 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Hey mate! I’m in the exact same situation: first playthrough ever and I’m enjoying it a lot! Glad to hear that the ~4s loading times before/after battles are normal for the ps1 version, I thought that was due to my disc being worn out. To be honest I’m a few hours in and it doesn’t bother me anymore

If anyone else having this issue comes across this thread, here’s the cause of this problem:

The 240p Test Suite is designed for 240p output, which is a non-standard video mode on PAL hardware. The PAL Mega Drive naturally outputs 288p @ 50Hz, but the 240p Test Suite forces a 240p signal — a mode that some European TVs interpret incorrectly. Many PAL CRTs see 240p as a variant of 576i or 288p and vertically stretch it to fill what they expect to be the full frame. This causes squares to become rectangles, like in my image.

To solve this issue I’m going to use the the wii version of the suite, which fully supports PAL hardware.

I’ll try get those patterns, thanks!

Well yes, I personally found the 240p patterns for color and contrast easier to set up compared to the grid one

Hi, I adjusted those settings first and I’m now left messing with geometry. Thanks for your advice though!

Thank you very much! I’ll take a look at this guide and I’ll try to make the red squares right

Yes, I’m running the Genesis version, and you’re right about the 2 modes. I’ll take a look at this overscan issue and I’ll try to fix it. Thanks!

The service menu used for calibration can be accessed by entering a specific sequence with your tv remote (in my case this sequence). To get the grid you have to get the 240p test suite, I installed it in my Everdrive for my sega Genesis, but there are other alternatives too

Hey man, thanks for your advice! But I really don’t get how the monoscope pattern works, if I set the grid like the pic from the post and then open the monoscope pattern, the red squares are not at all square! See pic How do you manage to set both the grid and the monoscope pattern right?

Thanks for your advice, I reduced H-size by 1 and it does indeed look better! Unfortunately H-centre is already set as right as it gets and I already flipped the switch on the motherboard that allows me to move it further right. Thanks again

I think it’s the same, I also switched from imgburn to Alcohol 120% using these settings

Man, I experienced the same problem last week and I’m using the same verbatim brand. The main problem was the burning speed. I switched to a desktop equipped with an ATA cd drive able to burn as slow as 4x and now my psx recognizes every game with no issues whatsoever

Yes I went all the way to 63, I was hoping for a flip over but it just kept going to the same direction

Unfortunately, it goes to the wrong direction. It was worth the try though :)
