Hello everyone!
I am a NeoGeo collector for more than 15 years and I am now trying to connect my AES system to an HDTV.
So lately I bought one XRGB-3 converter from Micomsoft which I just received a few days back. I am having some sync problems and hopefully someone could tell me how to fix these?
My setup:
-XRGB-3 with english firmware update
-NeoGeo AES with euro RGB cable and adaptor (jap->euro RGB) for GAME IN
-a SONY PC screen connected to the XRGB via VGA for B1 mode
-NeoGeo serial number is above 330.000
the image looks great, I love these scanlines and the only issue I have is that on the top of the screen the image is wavy. Also when I turn AFC mode on the XRGB-3 to 5 the screen is perfect, the edges and all are OK, but it blinks a lot and can hardly see anything. Only on AFC set to 0 the image is stable and sharp (no blinking), but then I see that the upper part of the screen the image is waving like in the photo I show below. When AFC is set up to 3 or 5 the image is OK.
So maybe it is something that has to do with AFC settings only?
Has anyone this similar setup, and have you experienced the same or is it only due to my monitor? I checked on PC monitors so far and all them had the same problem.
Does anyone know how can I correct this? Is this normal or simply my PC monitor is unable to handle the image properly? I plan to buy a LCD TV shortly hopefully I will not have the same problem there .
Also, are there any recommended settings for this setup?
I have attached a screenshot to see the problem:

I have been told to modify the Euro RGB cable to use a LM1881 video sync chip inside, but I do not have any soldering skills and do not know how to do this. Is there any easier way (ie rewire the RGB cable? use an original Japanese RGB cable instead?) If so what are the steps I should follow?
Hopefully someone can help me on this Thanks!
