Hey peeps,

I've recently gone back to play a whole bunch of my favourite PS2 games and I've even decided to give FFXII another bash as I couldn't get into it the first time, but totally absorbed this time!

Problem is, the picture is eyewatering!
I have a PS2, PS3, Wii and virgin box all set up and plugged into the TV, could that be effecting the signal strength and and effecting the picture?
The PS2 is using SCART into the back of the tv (36" LCD 1080p).

I remember the graphics always being stunningly awesome before (on my old flatscreen 34" tube tv), but now it's soo 'pixellated' it's unreal, I'm sure it was never this bad before so I'm convinced it's to do wtih my setup somehow... or is it even because of the type of tv itself?

Honestly, I have a PS1 set up in another room on a small LCD 15" that looks the same picture quality wise.

Any suggestions?

Cheers!
 
Thanks for the comments :)

I'll check out that Scart socket idea, Ysmalari. Cheers for that. Fingers crossed!

I suppose it could just be FF12 looking bad.
I had a couple of races split screen on GT3 and thought it looked pretty good for it's age and the downscaled graphics of splitscreen but it's something to keep in mind I guess... I'll have to compare it to some other games and see.

My PS3 won't play PS2 games, although it plays PS1 games (Albeit horrendously!) so I could try the smoothing with those & see but they work better on my PS2 (and ofc PS1) anyway.
 
Ah, it's such a shame that FF12 has the problems reported above. It's such a great game (that I've played so far). If only it had been a PS3 game it would have completely outdone the shambles of FF13.

Thanks for all the advice - I'll certainly check to see which cable I'm using (don't remember off the top of my head) and check the RGB support.

I think though generally it's a combination of some bad parts of FF12 combined with shock from PS3 HD play.
Still, I'm loving re-playing some of my PS2 games :)
