How To Make Ps2 Games Look Better On Ps3
For PlayStation 3 on the PlayStation 3, a GameFAQs message board topic titled 'Is there any way to make PS1 games look better while playing them on a PS3'.
- I already have a component cable that I'm using, but I'm fairly positive I saw a fmcb program that makes the games look better. Correct me if I'm.
- Why do ps1 and ps2 games look horrible on the ps3 and. Because ps2 is made to make these games look. Time makeing old games look better.

We're calling this a semi-fix because not everybody has their television set up like I do (in Athens, not at home. This one rocks out with HDMI and such). A while back, we did - in my particular case, it appears to be true.
Yes, there are a lot more jaggies and oh, goodness, the text is atrocious. There is, however, light at the end of this tunnel. I'll tell you how my TV's set up to quickly repair the damaged graphics. All right, so currently my PS3 is connected to my TV via the HDMI and those cruddy composite cables - the yellow, white, and red. Because my TV has channels dedicated to both. When I run a PS2 game on the HDMI channel, yeah, it looks bad. So what do I do?
Go to my Display Settings and swap the PS3 back onto the 480i channel - the channel most PS2 games were probably meant to be seen in. I think that's the problem - PS2 games didn't plan on getting their resolutions increased so drastically. So I swap it back to 480i and re-load the PS2 game and guess what? The text is gorgeous and the graphics look fine. They don't look perfect, but it's a lot better than the HDMI shows. You guys can go ahead and test this if your TV is prepared for the journey of multiple wires.
Or computer monitor, which I know a lot of you swear by (and rightly so, it seems)! Let us know if this works for you.
In all seriousness, though, it doesn't bother me that much. If I can still enjoy the gameplay, I don't mind having a jaggy sword, or funny-looking handrails. Perhaps Sony will strive to fix this in the future, but for now, keep your PS2 hooked up if it gets too unbearable. update: As I continue to screw around with different games, if you crack out any 2D-centric titles ( Atelier Iris 2 in my case), the graphics actually look better with HDMI. The backgrounds have a few splotchy points, but the sprites are much, much sharper.
First, this is a comparison for Final Fantasy XII from the normal resolution to the upscaled madness, taken from the user Perfect Sin at the. We're focusing on Vaan here not because we like those weird skeletal-abs he's sporting, but because it's a pretty clear example of the difference the upscaling can make. Yes, we know the two pictures aren't in the exact same spot or have the exact same dimensions, but you get the idea. It's a heck of a lot smoother. We also had to brighten the 'after' shot because the original was kind of dark for some reason. We've also got some Shadow of the Colossus images from user I Have Candy at the.
Again, the image isn't in the exact same place or anything, but you can really tell the difference between the default image and the rollover image. We should all applause Sony for making this work out so well. In fact, this may make some people less irritable about the Emotion Engine getting removed in future PS3's. If those weren't enough, user Mastagamer at the uploaded a good set of images from Bully. We chose to use these two because they seemed most representative of the difference between upscaled and normal. We'll leave it to you guys to decide what you think. Pretty slick, right?
It's zoomed out a little bit, but nobody's perfect. We're pretty much sold on this upscaling game business. We've tested out a multitude of games ourselves, but we don't have any capturing equipment to throw up here.
Trust us - the games look brilliant. Kingdom Hearts 2 is practically perfect. More perfect than on the PS2. What do you guys think?
