From bff39522bc97107f38e708fb7125f29b149a9d4e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: vonmillhausen Date: Tue, 29 Aug 2023 15:19:58 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Update README.md A tiny pointless change so I can see if pushing it unborks my Github account and/or this repo --- README.md | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index bd53561..f9947fd 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -173,7 +173,7 @@ The SF2000 does not feature wifi or Bluetooth, but it _does_ have a 2.4Ghz anten ### A/V Output The SF2000 features a mini-jack for analogue composite A/V output. The device is capable of output a user-selectable PAL or NTSC video signal. Only the _left_ audio channel is output - the device does _not_ down-mix to mono, which results in missing audio channels in games that expect to output stereo sound. -There's some limited evidence to suggest the A/V output is at 576i. When outputting a PAL signal, while the signal is indeed 50Hz, it seems like the emulators are still targeting 60Hz output - PAL scrolling is "jerky". Switching the device to output NTSC, scrolling becomes smooth. This holds true regardless of using a PAL or NTSC version of a ROM. Depending on your external display, video output over A/V may be somewhat heavily cropped on all screen edges - if so, this can result in UI elements at screen edges in games (health bars, remaining credits, etc.) being out-of-frame. Switching between PAL and NTSC doesn't alter the visible screen area. I've tested with a modern flat-panel Panasonic TV (cropped), a 1980s Commodore 1702 monitor (cropped), and with an el-cheapo USB 2.0 "EasyCap" video-capture USB stick (not cropped). +There's some limited evidence to suggest the A/V output is at 576i.

On my own unit, plugging in a charging cable while outputting over A/V introduces a lot of video noise in the A/V signal; so those planning to use the SF2000 as a TV console may need to do so while running on battery for the best experience.
