1) Some people here say: " Scrap everything already stated. The old Nvidia
cards with the mini DIN analog video out can ONLY do 480i output. 240p is
not an option."
Source:
https://www.reddit.com/r/crtgaming/comments/a9k85n/old_nvidia_geforce_output_240p/
But I guess that is due to using Windows and NVIDIA driver.
2) Here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/retrogaming/comments/40dv00/240p_signal_from_svideo_port_on_old_video_card/
someone says: "240p doesn't actually exist, it's really a trick
that uses a
non-standard 480i signal to cause the alternating fields line up the
scanlines instead of offsetting them. "
So I guess it could be done by sending non-standard 480i signal.
