So after a few days of messing with my SS1 using composite output only I've sort of come to the conclusion that composite output on both the SS1 and normal Mister just has "issues".

I know composite is objectively the worst signal you can use, one of my CRTs it's the only option and personally I like the look of it for some consoles even though it's "bad". I'd still like for it to be accurately bad lol.

Basically using the composite output so far I have had the following experience with the SS1 and two different CRTs. How the output behaves is dependent on the ini profile and video mode settings you use.

For each video mode this is what i've experienced.

• subcarrier = mostly accurate color and luma but with diagonal artifacting (like diagonal strips over what should be a smooth gradient)

• svideo = accurate color and picture but blown out luma (the best looking of the 3 although details in bright areas get washed out and can make text hard to read sometimes)

• cvbs = accurate picture and color but super low luma (unusable)

subcarrier needs switch 3 down for color, svideo and cvbs need switch 3 up for color.

I've seen some discussion about cvbs needing specific updates to some cores but I didn't really find anything conclusive. I have tested genesis, snes, neogeo, n64 and ps1 so far and my experience across all of them is pretty much the same.

Also for reference I have a real SNES and PS1 and neither of their composite outputs look anything like any of the 3 modes listed above.

I haven't tried composite over vga or din10 yet but I'm going to once the adapter I ordered arrives.

using the s-video and component outputs both look good and as expected with the correct settings in the ini profiles for each.

A bit bummed about the composite output, not sure if this is a universal thing or not. Reading about composite output on non superstation mister a lot of the responses are just like "yeah composite is bad don't use it", hard to tell if those responses are just talking about composite in general or composite on the mister.

For now on my TV that only has composite I kinda prefer the blown out luma on the svid profile over the diagonal artifacting on the subcarrier mode. Neither is great though.

Anyone else have experience with the composite outputs on the SS1 or Mister? I still kinda feel like i just have something set wrong but idk.

Got my superstation a couple of days ago and finally got around to setting stuff up. I have been able to test a couple cores that had included bios and all that is working fine. When I go to configure wifi though I just get a message that says "failed to bring up wlan0"

Tried googling but didn't find any info. Not sure if it matters but I'm hooked up to a TV with composite and using a bluetooth controller. Not sure why or how those would affect anything.

Any help would be appreciated.

Edit: I got it working, I needed to use component output (guessing most people use hdmi) for the script to actually execute and open the whole wifi dialog menu, before it would just stay in the OSD with "failed to bring up wlan0". it still said "failed to bring up wlan0" at the bottom but after waiting a little bit it the wifi networks popped up. Guess don't try to run scripts when you are using composite only lol

I noticed this was a popular theme and didn't have a 360p version so I decided to port it. I tried to keep it mostly the same but I had to change a few things. Japanese characters work fine on the Now Playing screen but they will show up as blank characters in the main menu.

You can also change the colors around by editing the bunnyPod.cfg in the themes folder, it includes a couple color combos at the bottom that you can use that the original author suggested.

To install extract the zip file and copy the .rockbox folder over to your Y1.

If you 100% need japanese characters in the main menu too you have 2 options. Edit the .sbs file and change %Fl(3,62-LanaPixel.fnt) to %Fl(3,21-LanaPixel.fnt) if you want LARGE fonts, they are only a bit larger but they have big padding which makes the menus have less stuff on them unfortunately. or you can change %Fl(3,62-LanaPixel.fnt) to %Fl(3,14-LanaPixel.fnt) for much smaller font.

Unfortunately only the 7/14/21 size fonts of LanaPixel have the japanese character set and my attempts to convert it myself have not worked out.

Some of the icons might not load properly the first time you apply the theme, but going to the now playing screen and back to the main menu should fix it until you change themes again.

If you have any problems let me know! Also not sure how to get this on the github theme repository, but if anyone here is a contributor feel free to add this.
