Back2skooldaze Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 (edited) Hi I have my atari ste 4mb which works great. On my crt tv the green desktop is ok apart from fuzzy icons and text? Ive not ruled out the tv but whats making me think its not the tv is because games look correct ? its only the green desktop icons/letters? I have installed my netusbee and loaded the driver disk up and the desktop is PERFECT! ???? The green desktop is absolutely perfect? nice rich green colour and the icons are perfect? but going back the standard desktop on the STE its fuzzy? Do i need something doing to the ste's video output to improved things? I have to add the black text when loading up the netusbee driver disk is perfect too? but when opening the mouse.txt the letters are kind of leaning towards the right but the -End of File- message is perfect?

snarkdluG Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Do you have a 35y old PSU in the STe? Kinda sounds like some capacitors is not up to specs anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DarkLord Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Are you using the STe's monitor port or the TV port for your CRT/TV? If you're using the TV side of things I'd get one of the UBE style VGA adapters and try going through the STe's monitor port and the CRT part of your setup. Just a thought... HTH's.

Back2skooldaze Posted March 17 Author Share Posted March 17 Im using a crt portable tv via scart...the cable is retro computer shack scart cable so it's well made.. I'm running the cable from ste monitor port to scart on portable tv.. It's only the floppy disc icons that are affected not the rest of the screen like text? Running through the netusbee when using usb mouse etc..the screen is immaculate perfect? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
