Paisan™ Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 I swear it does. Every time I watch game play of LCS on PSP, the game looks great, the colors especially look great. Then I go play it on PS2...oh boy...Resolution - crap, Colors - crap. The game looks like crap on PS2, to be honest. Anyone know why?

Igor Bogdanoff Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Pal PS2 has 576x625 interlaced NTSC PS2 480x525 interlaced (Interlaced video is a technique for doubling the perceived frame rate of a video display without consuming extra bandwidth. The interlaced signal contains two fields of a video frame captured at two different times. This enhances motion perception to the viewer, and reduces flicker by taking advantage of the phi phenomenon.) PSP has 320x240 (i think progressive) so it's either progressive or the fact that PS2 has different color filter and maybe even trails, which blurs whole screen. jaljax and EternalFlakko 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know that. Anyway, I'm on the PAL PS2 version, so, what do you think or recommend? Ive heard about these things called composite cables or something for your HDTV which provide a better colour range for the PS2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igor Bogdanoff Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 i have composite cable and if i compare it to component by memory i didn't notice much of a difference. It's a bit more sharper but i wouldn't recommend buying if you can't find it for $10 or cheaper. And colors will stay same. PS2 version has hardcoded color filter which compeletely changes the game appearence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paisan™ Posted August 15, 2017 Author Share Posted August 15, 2017 OK so no, the PSP does not have a higher resoltion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helegad Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 As for composite vs. component, you should use component every time. The video signal is split across three different cables as opposed to being smooshed into one. It's still not quite RGB, but YPbPr is close enough IMO.

Ash_735 Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 The PS2 version of GTA games runs at 640x448 Interlaced (640x512 for PAL) at 30fps (25fps for PAL). PSP runs it at 480x272 Progressive at 30fps. PS2 can look worse if using a lower end connection, especially composite, which will look a lot more blurry and smudged if being compared directly to a PSP screen. There's also the fact that the GTA Games don't have a Progressive Scan option on PS2 (some games did) so they'd just have that additional blurring effect in motion compared to other devices.

Moving Idiot Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 (edited) Are you sure you're using component though? The difference between the two is pretty huge, so it'd be a shame if you were using the wrong cables. Edited August 26, 2017 by Veroder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference between the two is pretty huge, so it'd be a shame if you were using the wrong cables. I get confused with the names, but I've done enough research to realise that one is sh*t, and one is decent. Last time I checked, I'm using the sh*t one, I'm pretty sure their called Composite. EDIT: Just read earlier posts, realised I made the mistake of saying I will stick to component instead of composite.

Moving Idiot Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 (edited) Yup, composite cables are sh*t. A lot of people use them though because they're given to you by Sony when buying the console. You should definitely switch to component if you haven't already. Edited August 26, 2017 by Veroder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only question is, are component cables made differently for the NTSC and PAL versions? Or are they the same? Also where do these ship from?

Anyone know where can I buy some in Australia? You want to know where the Australian sellers get theirs from? Use eBay + PayPal. If it doesn't show (China shipping can take anywhere from 2 - 4 weeks from past experience), just lodge a claim with PayPal. The only problems I ever had with China shipping was two SCART upscalers, bought six weeks apart, that never arrived. Also the most expensive things I ever bought from China. Stick with the boring sh*t and you'll be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helegad Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 (edited) Just test all settings, and choose the better one. That's a stupid thing to say. Your composite input on the TV is YPbPr 95% of the time. RGB is even better quality but it's not widely supported. If you select it on the PS2, you'll just get a black screen. Make sure the composite mode is set before you plug in the cables otherwise you gotta do it blind. Start up the PlayStation 2 without a game in it. Wait about 20 seconds. Press Down. Press X. Press Down three times. Press X. Press Left. Press X. Edited September 14, 2017 by Helegad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash_735 Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Or you can do it beforehand and not do it blind, if you're NOT using an RGB Scart, you won;t notice any difference toggling between these options. If you ARE using an RGB Scart, then selecting the Component option will just turn the screen green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paisan™ Posted September 14, 2017 Author Share Posted September 14, 2017 (edited) What if I go into the PS2 settings when there isn't a disk in there? Would that work?
