Just hooked up my MiSTer with Digital I/O Board 1.2 to my Panasonic TX-14S3T PAL CRT via Direct Video using a HDMI to VGA converter and a VGA to SCART cable purchased from UltimateMister.com but I'm getting a garbled output on the main menu:

My video chain is MiSTer > HDMI to VGA Direct Video converter > VGA to SCART cable > Panasonic TX-14S3T. direct_video and composite_sync are both set to 1 and the TV works fine with other consoles connected via RGB SCART in both 50 and 60Hz. My mister.ini file is below:

; When the core's video mode matches the parameters in the section header, any options in the section override options from MiSTer and core sections.
; Refresh rate in header is optional and, if present, must match exactly the output from video_info or the logs. For example, if it says "60.0Hz", the header needs to be "@60.0" to match.
; When the core changes video mode, MiSTer will first look for a matching WIDTHxHEIGHT@VREFRESH section.
; If no match is found, it will fall back to a matching WIDTHxHEIGHT section with no refresh rate.
; If there is still no match, MiSTer/core options will be used without overrides.
