    Dead or Alive is frankly unplayable through the Framemiester. The signal cuts out and when it comes back life bar is half empty. Turning sync off doesn't help either.

    What other games do this to where it is unplayable? Any way to fix it?

    Games that switch resolution tend to be the issue.

    Yeah and I know it's not just a Saturn problem but since my PS3 is also my PS1 it's only an issue on my Saturn and to a lesser fegree Dreamcast and I can't play Sonic muliplayer on the Genesis.

    I'm considering running my Saturn through another device like the Retro Tink and plugging the Retro Tink into one of the Framemiester's HDMI ports.

    Doesn't the open source scan converter/ossc not have the resolution time delay issue? I think I heard that in a comparison between it and the XRGB. Maybe you might try using one of those. Or get an analog CRT.

    I've heard it does and I've also heard it's worse

    Then get a CRT and call it a day. You're always going to have problems playing analog systems on HDTVs.

    CRT isn't an option because I simply do not have room.

    Then make room for it. The fact is nothing besides a CRT will have CRT performance. Everything else is a workaround that won't be perfect. I too didn't think I had room when I got a CRT again after having adopted a HDTV. But I made room. Move things around, get new furniture, build something yourself, you can make it happen if you want. You can certainly fit a 19" CRT somewhere to use for analog equipment. I can understand not being able to deal with larger sets that weigh over 100lbs. But the mid-range you should be able to do.
