The new 0.87, resp. 0.88 firmware for our beloved OSSC (Open Source Scan Converter) was released earlier this month with the below changes. 0.88 fixed a bug with profile imports as per following change log:
New OSD
Mode preset selection improvements
Selection made independent of physical input
480p preset defined by hsync length in auto mode
Added 720p_50, 1080i_50 and 1080p_50 presets
Minor clamp/alc related improvements
Profile import fixed in v0.88.
I used the opportunity to update the OSSC Firmware Upgrade Tutorial, as the Firmware Update function is now a sub-menu within the “Settings Opt” menu.
If you are the lucky owner of an OSSC (Open Source Scan Converter) to scale up your retro games on your modern TV, then you like to ensure to keep your firmware of your device up to date to profit from fixes and enhancements which are constantly released. Great support on the OSSC here.
Write/Restore the downloaded file to the Micro SD Card with the help of your image writer software
Put the Micro SD card into your OSSC (slot is on the left side of the display)
Switch the OSSC on
Press “Menu” on the remote control
Press “Down” until the menu says “Settings opt”
Press “OK”
Press “Down” until the menu says “Firmware Upgrade”
Press “OK”
Confirm to flash by pressing “1”
Wait until the OSSC finished to verify and flashes the new image
When it says “FW update ok” you can switch the OSSC off, remove the SD card, wait a few seconds and turn it on again
It should now work with the latest firmware
Experienced some issues? Comments and feedback welcome.
Remark: If you are on an even elder version then I was, the “Firmware Upgrade” menu entry is in the menu root directly, and not within the “Settings Opt” sub-menu.
