Afaik in the States the Brewing academy will likely be the reseller (as they have done before). Over here in Europe you buy from Simius directly, (payment via PayPal). Basically for now watch this space. Where are you based btw?

I will probably pick up their AV mod until I get get my hands on a Sophia 2. I am located in a Dallas Texas suburb.

Maybe the signal may be out of spec slightly with the second one. Did you try changing resolution with the configuration utility to get a screen that may work?

nasty niff Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 Changed using the configurator and fjc (u1mb) plugin, makes no difference, only stable at 576p.other resolutions are unstable,not syncing.

wildstar87 Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 Trying to setup Sophia to output RGB 15Khz, running Sconf.exe I don't see a way to change the special features, cursor only rotates through resolutions.

Beeblebrox Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 (edited) @wildstar87 I don't have my Sophia 2 enabled machine in front of me but I believe TAB alternates between the config groups.

+scorpio_ny Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 (edited) Looking at the screenshot that @Beeblebrox provided, I would look at the sync modes that the utility shows. I do not remember if the U1MB plug in shows that option. I will check later when I have time to set up the computer.

I once had worked with a TV and discovered later that that one of the inputs was not functional with a certain device even though it worked with another.

wildstar87 Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 Tried different settings to get 15Khz RGB working. Trying to verify 2 different monitors for RGB. I have an Amiga 1080 CRT monitor, and a Dell U2410. I'm not getting any response out of either monitor with Sophia. U2410 seems to sort of work with VBXE (though having other issues), I am getting an image though. The 1080, I have switched over to RGB Analog, on the back, and RGB on the front. I'm not getting any picture at all. Tried settings in Sophia, to RGB, and both norm or interlaced settings, though I was able to get VGA out. Any ideas?

Not all of them support analog output. Are you using the one with the analog pins? 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/307175-sophia-2-improved-gtia-replacement/page/23/#findComment-5314669 Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildstar87 Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 (edited) Yeah I'm using an DVI to VGA adapter that I had, I have a few others I can try, but I don't think this is the problem. It works in VGA mode, just not 15Khz RGB. It has the 5 pins for the analog section.
