Screen turns black for 2 seconds during play

Unread post by peter.pan1906 »

Hi there,

since I'm new to the MiSTer-Project I usually have still some trouble setting it up correctly. So far I bought a complete set (128 GB I/O Board, etc.) and build it together on my own. It was not that difficult. But now I encounter 2 problems. First ...

for example: when I play GB core, e.g. super mario land (or any other game or core) via hdmi the screen gets black for 2 seconds while mario gets into the pipe. the game continues the whole time, I hear sound. I think it has to do with the resolution change during some games while playing. My TV cannot handle it. :( I used two different output devices (whiteboard and home TFT 40"). Same result. That is really annoying!!! :-(

Question: Can I solve this issue using other resolution settings?

I'll write my second issue gets a separate topic.

thanks for your support. like duke says: "a great piece of machinery"

Do you have the 'Stabilize video(buffer)' set to on in the OSD?
