I would do a little more research by asking people who are using it with a Framemeister- first things first, do the people that use one with an LCD experience the wobble without it?

The big thing is I hear a lot about input framerate locking and other such Framemeister settings. It's very likely the cheap VGA adapter will just spit out whatever refresh rate it's fed, whereas the Framemeister alleviates problems by actually doing something to modify the refresh rate. It does have around 2 frames of lag after all. Of course the converter also upscales so it's doing some sort of processing as well and might be modifying the refresh rate, who knows.

I don't own a Framemeister so I'm far from an expert, but I think it's worth looking into first.

Tried GBI out tonight. Used LL in 240p mode with a PVM CRT and Component cables, and to boot a Gamecube-compatible arcade stick Loving it!

One question, is the output horizontally scaled? I think I saw some signs of non-integer scaling (some text characters had pixels whose widths appeared thinner than others, slight shimmering in horizontal scrolling). Is it possible to alter the GameCube's pixel clock via GBI such that the horizontal resolution is an integer multiple of the GB/A's resolution? If this is an option already, can someone point me in the right direction? If this would throw off the aspect ratio I'm fine with that since I can squeeze and pull the image a bit via my PVM's controls. Thanks!

I own one, it worked at some point and now it only plays sound and this garbled mess of shades of white.

It doesn't like 480i GBI ULL. 480p is fine. Would love to get 240p going somehow.

Is there a way to add control mapping in the DCP file?
Select as Z is really confusing playing some games with Hori Game Boy Player controllers.

Thanks

I'm going to be a noob and ask, but does this also support GBA as a pad, just like the original Player?

Not yet, check the previous page

Awesome app. Just want to know how I can force 240p over component using ULL? It defaults to 480p through framemeister.

Thanks!

Create a file called gbi.dcp with the following line in it:
--scan-mode={non-interlace}
and place in same directory as gbi

Hey, this has probably been asked before, but I just got my SD launcher in the mail today and I'm heading out so I don't have time to really explore more than I already have at the moment. I'm running it on a CRT via s-video, so i'm deciding between LL and ULL versions. That said, can I get the image to use the full display size of my TV while maintaining GBA aspect ratio? As it is now I just have a box in the center of my screen, and one of my main reasons for wanting this was to not have a border like the OEM GBP does. Here's what it looks like for me currently. I assume it's something I can manage in one of the config files? Really sorry about the ignorance.

You can make the original GBP boot disc zoom to fill the screen completely. It just looks like trash is all.

Use the regular version if you want zooming, the LL and ULL versions don't have a framebuffer to allow for it (well, maybe the LL version, not sure).
You could also use your CRTs service menu to stretch the image, though this would stretch all sources and need to be changed back once you played something else. PVMs and BVMs have a handy overscan button on the chassis that will do this at the touch of a button but consumer Sony's don't.

Well that sucks. I just gave it a shot and yes, it looks unbearably terrible. ULL seems to be working out for me, i'll stick with it.

Playing with the filters some more, what is the difference between normal2x and normalnx? They both look the same to me. I thought normal2x was strictly just oversampling, at least from what I could gather online.

Normal2x is applied to screenshots.

Latest GBI download link seems to be broken at the moment, or is it just me?

This is what I'm getting: http://i.imgur.com/ZOqlyXL.png (Error 523, website offline)

works fine, download direct.

Must be something with me, then. I'm having a friend download it for me.

Is there any way to get command line arguments to work with the LL and ULL versions?

If not, is there a way to adjust the colour on the regular version so that they aren't too pale?

Hmm. Still loading as 480p. Normal and LL version runs in 240p fine over component. Is this a limitation of the ULL version?

Burn Swiss to it, make a SD adapter

That's referred to as color gamut mapping, look if there's a command line option to disable it. It's mimicking what a game would look like played on a (phat?) DS

is the download link broken

Works just fine here.

Does anyone use this with the Framemeister?

This has been my experience:
ULL 240p + FM = garbage + sound

ULL 480p + FM = working

LL 240p + FM = working

Why won't 240p ULL work?

Wondering if someone knows the answer to this, thank you!

• Added GBA-as-controller support. (thanks FIX94!)
• Recognized a half-press of the analog triggers.
• Disabled GameCube Controller hotplugging for now.

For low latency versions:

• Added U+D/L+R cancelling.
