SuperUfo on the SNES

[Aractus]

Well I just spent the better part of an hour adjusting the vertical scan in the service menu on my Sanyo CRT that I'll be using for the SNES. First I had to work out how to enter the menu in the first place, and since it's undocumented - and the internet was no help - I was left with the "brute force" option. I eventually worked it out. Hold "Menu" on the remote, and press Ch Down on the TV, then press Mute to cycle through the options, and Vol +/- to adjust. I now loose almost no vertical picture to overscan. Sadly there isn't an option to shrink the H-size at all, although centring the picture was available. I can live with the horizontal overscan as it is. The good news is the picture looks really good on the TV (I paid nothing for the TV of course), and can be improved if I can get component out from the SNES (I'll have to explore the options here, I know that RGB is no issue). I'll also explore S-Video as a primary option for capping. I've set the capture software to Cap it using DivX at 10000 kbps. From there I can load the video into an avisynth script, deinterlace and filter it, crop it and resize it.
