Playing on HD TV (PS2 Related)

[fug34]

Hey guys, was hoping for a little bit of help here.

 

I recently bought a HD TV it displays up to 720p/1080i and when playing San Andreas on the PS2 it obviously makes the game looks a little worse for ware.

 

Anyone got any advice about improving the picture quality?

 

I really want to start playing San Andreas again; I bought it on release date and unfortunately have never finished it. I am doing the last flight mission for Torreno (name?) and got frustrated and stopped playing it. but with GTAIV coming soon I would really love to finish the game off as playing it post GTAIV is going to be even harder I imagine.

 

Anyway my TV is a Sony Bravia 26” and I would like your expertise on how to make San Andreas look the best it can on the TV. I originally had a standard TV and going from that to widescreen is also a little weird, I notice that the Rockstar North titles aren’t true widescreen; instead they just crop the top and bottom of the frame to simulate widescreen. Which also means that the framing needs to be manually adjusted, kind of frustrating.

 

So am I best to switch it to widescreen or leave it standard? Any optional settings anyone can suggest to alter such as brightness or TV setting levels?

 

I am playing it through a PS2 with the packed in cables, I am also able to play it through my PS3 with HDMI cable but I am not sure if the game even works with a PS3 plus I don’t have the memory card reader so I would need to restart over.

 

I imagine this has surely come up here before so I figure who better to ask than the guys that would know.

 

Thanks in advance!

The game should work in your PS3, but I don't know whether the faster processor would improve the picture quality to any great extent. Other than that, I'm afraid I'm stumped.

On PS3, turn the upscaler ON on the XMB Menu.
