Probably the first one, the weird issue. I know from personal experience that PS1 games play fine in component on PS2 (pre-slim)/PS3 so you likely have some weird issue you can't resolve without trying other TVs or other cables.
I mentioned the cbcr thing because older sets had exclusive "HD" component plugs which would fail any non 480p/720p/1080i signal, which I guess is not the problem if your PS2 games work fine.

SDF folks love to troll me about Forza. Good times.
Good thing I'm not apart of the SDF.

Weird. Also, the start up Playstation logo shows up, but after that the image is out of range. I don't think I would actually use component to play PS1 titles, but the whole thing really bugs me. I can't play games which emulate Ps1 titles like Megaman X collections without switching cables either.

Can anyone upload the System Update via megaupload.com or something, cause all the servers are down...

jabs che, I am not trolling you, it was all in jest. I know you have your guard on full alert around us. Don't worry I still love you and hate hsu. what is SDF?
anyways, I downloaded the update and yea, FF12 looks better and so does ZOE2.

What sort of TV do you have?

How long have you been at GAF? You don't know what SDF means? Maybe that's a good thing.

It's possible, I suppose, that the 323V is incapable of handling a pre-480i resolution on component plugs. Bizarre, but if anybody is going to shortchange the circuitry it might be through there.

chespace said:Yup, gorgeous game. It would be awesome if PS3 could fix SotC's framerate too.
I still need to finish SotC.
Yeah, I tried it out today and the framerate was so jarring, I don't remember it being that bad. That game deserved much better graphics, you can feel it busting out of the PS2's capabilities. But its still a beautiful game.
f@luS said:
um what?
set your ps3 to 480i, run it through component. Sotc looks BETTER in interlaced mode on my TV now. I have no idea why. Progressive just softens the image. The only 480p game I own that actually looks better in progressive scan is God of War. Everything else looks better in interlaced mode. And by 'better'. I mean better than I've ever seen the games look (sotc in particular).
So according to some gafers..
PS3 magically adds draw distance in PS2 games
PS3 magically improves framerate in PS2 games
480i over component looks better than 480p through HDMI (BRIGHTER MEANS BETTER AMIRITE GUYS?)
I'd say that speaks volumes as to the kind of information your getting. I just tested this OMFGBBQ 480i component maeks teh gaems lukk liek upscaaaalled!@111111 and all I see is a brightness increase between the two. Take what you hear with a grain of salt. I'm willing to wager based on most of the comments in this thread that 99% of GAF knows jack all when it comes to scaling let alone how games run.
Stop buying Walmart tv's and basing your experiences on them as fact.

What the hell are you talking about?
No one said PS3 improves draw distance for PS2 games, someone merely asked if it was possible.
No one said PS3 improves framerates, simply moments when the disc speed in PS2 games causes slowdowns are gone now.
Some games simply look better in 480i and many people reported 480p over HDMI "softening" is their games.

wow...harsh
Dotcal, it really isn't as severe as you seem to think. Yes, it isn't on par with a normal PS2, but it's close enough that most people should be fine. As a bonus, a lot of TVs actually handle 480p much better than 480i so those folks may be seeing improvements.
As for me, my Pioneer does a better job with the original 480i material from PS2...but the PS3 performs better than expected. You make it sound as if the BC mode is broken and that's just not true.

YAY! Virtua Fighter 4 Evolution is now okay. It was the most noticeable screwed up one in my library for the pre 1.5 BC.
Now after 1.5, it's fine

I just bought used copies of Killzone and Mercenaries (never played either before). It looks like Guerilla attempted a lot of pretty interesting things with Killzone but the hardware betrayed them. For a PS2 title, I'm surprised the game looks as good as it does. I only played the the first levels but I definitely understand why this game is so criticized.

Yeah, the screenshot does but he was almost dying on the very first battle of the game.neojubei said:

46" XBR3 , my component video capture card also dis-agrees with you. The image is still blurry in 480i. I posted shots up here a few hours back but a gang of idiots attacked it for no reason. Ill agree that setting it to 480i lessens the blurring compared to the PS3 running non naitve 480p games in 480p but its still there compared to vanilla ps2 480i via component.
Dot50Cal said:
Well, your video capture card is capturing images from a different TV altogether, so if I disagree with your video capture, then I'm sorry. I hope it's not mad at me. Whatever this "it" is, it's just not there on my TV. The only thing I'm seeing is an improved image. But that's because I have a cheap ass Wal-Mart TV and like to exaggerate my impressions because I'm a blind fanboy.
