Looking through your shots again, I can't decide whether I prefer the dithering or the sharpness of the modded Genesis...

Have you tried recapping any of your model 1s? I've found that replacing the caps practically eliminates the rainbow banding issue that the model 1 has.Drakon wrote:Both my va5 and va6 model 1s have the same problem so I guess it's just a problem you get with the model 1.

Eliminated it on s-video or composite? Also it's not just rainbow banding the model 1 also has worse jailbars. From threads I've read jailbars are a flaw built into the vdp.ApolloBoy wrote:Have you tried recapping any of your model 1s?

The jailbars are indeed a hardware flaw, but the rainbow banding through composite that's common on early model 1s is a capacitor issue. I recapped my VA1 Japanese Mega Drive a while ago and it completely eliminated the rainbow banding.Drakon wrote:Eliminated it on s-video or composite?

Well my va6 model 1 gave me noticable jailbars with the cxa2075 so I sort of shrugged and threw it back into the va1 model 2 which has much improved jailbars.
