PS2 Component AV?

The Running Man · 15 Apr 2006 at 12:54

Hi All, i am trying to work out the best connectics for my ps2 to my LCD tv, currently i am using a Blaze gold plated RGB scart which i have to say is a noticable improvement over the standard RCA adapters supplied with the console.

is component worth it over RGB SCART? cable should cpost me between -10 squid i reck for a half decent one.

i mainly play Tekken5, Resi4, and GT4, now i believe T5 provides prog Scan over component?

are there any issues with component, i have read stories with mixed reaction,

Thanks

cool, sounds good, i have just ordered GT4 NTSC US from ebay for 9 squid, apparently that has better support options than the PAL version

lol go component? thats what im gonna try anyhow, if that doesnt work, ill be routing it through my PC for VGA output...

basically it seems that 99% of PAL games have not got prog. scan support, or any of the other niceities of NTSC releases, thus im going NTSC.

Tekken5 looks great regadless in PAL60,

GT4 looks horrid, - read unplayable, thus im shopping it in for an American version hoping it can look a bit better?

yea not many other answers tbh... i mean i have a blaze RGB gold scart which must be up there with the best form of scart u can get from a ps2, but it just doesnt cut it tbh. im not sure if composite woud be any better, but it dosnt do prog scam ec

bah didnt recieve GT4 NTSC some flamin ebay galar a bit slow on the posting of it grrr!

will have to see next week when hopefully my ps2 component cable also arrives!

i dont think any other cable can carry the prog scan signal can it?

The Running Man · 24 Apr 2006 at 10:11

agreed - as long as it can carry component and prog scan im happy.

hi all, any ideas how to enable progessive on Resi4 and on Tekken5? i tried the hold down Triangle and Square but wasnt sure when to to it, and it never gave me an option of progressive? i just played Pal60...

any clues?

thank

noooooooooooooooooo!

well i have tekken4 but dont play it anymore since i got tek5.. tek5 is pretty awesome!

also, got it working on RE4.. held down TRIANGLE and X whilst seecting language - asks do u want prog scan mode etc...- actually looks worse than NTSC 60 lol
