You need to update your mister ini. The ypbpr=1 setting is no longer supported and you need to use vga=ypbpr instead. This was changed when s video got added. You can get the latest ini here https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Main_MiSTer/blob/master/MiSTer.ini
This could be huge!

I went ahead and read the thread on it and... yeah, Sorg is firm. He cites a couple reasons which I understand though fundamentally disagree with. Oh well.

Hello all, I recently started Youtube channel, I want to focus on gaming & especially retro games/systems. Each week I plan to upload video of this type, I have interest in both hardware emulation eg Mister fpga & software emulation such as; OpenEmu etc. For example FPGA emulation acts the same as original hardware so it is higher quality & software emulation relies solely on mimicking original hardware. Which do you prefer/why? https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Main_MiSTer/wiki/Arcade-Cores-List The link above; will be were I go through each core & decide which to make Youtube content of.

As far as I understand it, if you have beta cores disabled, you only download from JSTABLE but if beta cores are enabled, you download from jtbin.
