Official PS3 Upscaling Thread (PS1, PS2, DVD)
- Thread starter SOLDIER
- Start date
Ah sooo many games I need to catch up on with the PS2. My bag of shame is pretty big when it comes to PS2 now this upscaling gives me no excuse...I still need to play/finish FF12, DQ8, GoW 1/2, SotC, MGS3, DMC3, Ico, and pretty much all of the platformers. Probably going to pick up SotC and a "greatest hits" platformer at the best buy tomorrow, any suggestions as to which one I should tackle first? I'm leaning towards either r&c or sly.
Also: How many of you picked up a ps2 controller converter?

It always did on my wega.
(Pics are from Janruary, the game looks sharper now than the screens suggest since I've done a few more tweaks to the tv)
Just fooled around and tried out MGS3..
the game really does look even better now with the upscaling features.
Its a 4:3 game with Letterboxed cutrscenes so its best to have your ps3 output with PS/PS2 scaling set to "Normal" and the filter set to on.
looks nice.
A great game just got even better.

IMO it's better to leave it in 480P.
Then again, I just came off of playing DiRT.It could be affecting how a view things, a tad.
480p
1080i

Wouldn't that snap it back out of 1080i though?

I wonder what happens if you enable 'HD' mode, but don't turn progressive scan on? It's possible you would get a 640*448 interlaced picture which may well be compatible with the scaling. Has anyone tried this?Majik said:
Some off screen images of the upscaling feature. Nasty glow/glare effect, excuse the image quality.

I am really impressed!! Good job Sony!
Is there any chance in the future they could give us a frame rate patch? XD

Anyone got shots of Time Splitters Future Perfect? I sold my copy and thinking of buying a new one if it looks good upscaled.

If the game supports widescreen mode, and you want to use it, set the XMB option to "Full Screen" scaling. If you set it to that, every game will be stretched to fill the whole widescreen, even if it doesn't support widescreen (it that case the game will look horizontally stretched)mrklaw said:
Basically, if you want to preserve aspect ratio, set the setting to "Normal" for 4:3 games, and "Full Screen" for games that support 16:9.

Wow, Vice City looks like the Xbox version now.
Using the double scale on DVD's, with RGB to full gives an absolutely excellent picture on my Pioneer. SW and other high quality DVD's almost look HD quality. Almost. FFXII and DQVIII have finally found space on my TV again.
This will keep me tied over until Blue Dragon this Fall. I will rent until then

I'm starting to favor just leaving the XMB setting on normal and using my TV to stretch an image if it's in 16x9 widescreen mode. It looks pretty damn good on my Sharp 46"
The normal setting looks really sharp for 4:3 games when it's not stretched, and it's a lot easier to tap one button on my TV's remote than to go into the XMB every time to play widescreen vs. normal.

Depends on your TV then. It looked like crap in 480p or 1080i on my HD-LCD. And now, it looks like golden sunshine. The cars especially just look beautiful.

I tested it and SotC doesn't look THAT much better. It looks better upscaled though, and even texture shimmering is reduced.
His TV must really, really suck with SD content for SotC to see that kind of improvement. You can see that edge enhancement and sharpness is out of wazoo on the first screen.
Pretty big improvement with Rez, it looks better now than it ever did on any TV I tried (which includes regular interlaced one) can't wait to test ZoE2 and GoW2, I think games with clean lines and shapes benefit from this the most, because Sai2x kinds of algorithms 'know' what to do the best when the contrast between lines is clear and obvious.
Or... a long stretch, but are you sure you're not changing the DVD scaling option? Game and DVD scaling options are separate.

You have large, vertical bars, as if you're watching 4:3 content, even though you set scaling to "Full Screen"? Must be some kind of incompatibility with your TVJB1981 said:

Connect the controller to PS3 using a USB cable. That way it will sync-up much faster and you'll have time to press these buttons.PS360 said:
I have a westinghouse 32' 1080p, I have been loving it other than the whole handshake issue with the hdmi but now that its fixed its pure sex. Since I didnt get into the warhawk beta (cry) I'll play some ps2 games tonight and take some more pics if im bored (likely). Probably will pick up Odien Sphere tommorrow.

Still waiting for the Okami pics..

With not only these settings need to be changed for different games, but also reports of some games looking better than others with the different upscale/filtering options, it seems that a good enhancement would be for the PS3 to allow you to specify a global default of settings that would affect all games as it is doing now, yet also allow you to specify settings per game that could override that default if you choose to on particular games and the PS3 would remember to use those different settings each time you play that game.

ACE COMBAT IV PICS PLEASEEEEEE
Damn... why are my ps2 games not looking as good as those shown in this thread. I tested the upscaling w/ FF12 and SotC, and the games still looks like crap . I guess I have my settings on the PS3 wrong?!? The PS3 display is set to 1080p via HDMI, upscale to normal, smoothing to on?!? What gives... BTW I have a Samsung HLS5687W.
