Oh dude, you have no idea how often I have to reply to comments like that. I'm thinking about making a video JUST about that.

Lami Z 480p is twice the resolution of 480i actually. :P 480p in general looks better than 480i. GSM, in my opinion, makes the games look bad.

Lami Z If you have a modded PS2, or one running Free McBoot, I suggest trying it. You may end up loving it.

What annoys me so much is when people think Graphics and textures is the resolution when they are Two very different things.

amu bebo Wait until you deal with people who defend the bad visuals in absurd ways. Sentences like this break my mind: "lol u just dont get it dude the games r supposed to be played with the yellow cables cuz thats how the graphics are meant to look" That's a paraphrase, but I've heard basically the same idea over and over so many times. Hell, even in the comments of this video there have been several people on the side of doing it wrong. Granted, not THAT badly.

It still can be, just not with the PS2.

720P in 2010 was the most amazing crisp ultra HD picture quality we had ever seen. And now 2020 1224P and above is the best 4K picture quality there is! So wired how times change. we are living in the future!

It still is

If you play it on a CRT it looks like it’s HD 😂

Still is

especially with xbox 360 games since these game company's tend to cheap out with the analog connections,(composite video and s-video)

Fishkeeper63 I'm more of a pie man myself

Yeah me too actually.

Cakes pretty good.

I hate people like you and your obsession with toast.

The cake is a lie

It actually had. Look at some Sonic games released for the Nintendo GameCube, Xbox, and PS2. Sonic Heroes is possibly the best example

@@hectorvargasdiaz5435 agreed, PS2 has dirty looking picture quality at times, GameCube has very clean video over S Video.

@@polycube868 There is a video output that is even better than S-Video, Component Video. These are basically similar to RCA video, but instead of being only one video connector, it's three connectors (Red, Blue and Green). You can use this in your Nintendo GameCube, Xbox, and PS2 to obtain (at least) 480p resolution with progressive scan

@@hectorvargasdiaz5435 ok watch this kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iM2fm8uS2pecfoE.html also tekken 4, burnout revenge, Tenchu 3 look beautiful with component

@@hectorvargasdiaz5435 also watch this

Xbox games look good in hd. If you have an xbox 360 you can easily play your original xbox games in hd. For example dead or alive 3 looks amazing in hd.

@@williampacult9431 nice also on HD CRTs like mine it looks beautiful

not all xbox games work on the 360 and some that do run have minor to major issues (frequently with cut scenes, or audio).

I commented and realized how late I was after 🤣

holy shit the quality is insanely better, how haven't I done this before, thank you so much!

Not yet, no. They weren't requested as much. I do have one on the Dreamcast, if that interests you.

I've seen the Hanzo vids. You can definitely tell the difference.

I've always wanted to see good quality on an original Xbox or ps2. They sounds really nice when hooked up correctly to get the best picture quality.

+Bart Komedy what about ps3, ps2`? hdmi

lillskiten1337 Don't have a PS3 Fat and the PS2 classics don't work all that great

@@bartkomedy I had a fat but it wasn't compatible at all

Lmao nice seeing you here too gman

@@juvenoiachild7675 Kinda late tho

I was asking the same thing

@@NFSBeast2365 It completely depends on where you're from, the games you play and the consoles you use. For example, some consoles can output 480p over component but they won't if a game doesn't support it. If you're from the US and you wanna play a PS2, then you're probably better off using component cables over RGB scart, as they will allow for at least a 480p signal for PS2 games that support it. RGB scart won't output 480p or higher. If you're from the UK (Like me), then going with RGB scart is better, in my opinion. PAL PS2s support component output but most of our PS2 games don't output in 480p apart from like, 5 games, so it's basically pointless. The difference between RGB scart and component over here is barely noticeable. If you're from the US, you'll benefit a lot from the component cables because you'll be able to get 480p output from a lot of PS2 games.

For ps2 i guess

+kinsmarts Yes.

+yogibear2k10 No, we never had SCART here in the US. It would have been great to have back in the 90's. Instead, we were stuck with composite and S-video, and S-video wasn't that common.

+AdamKoralik With your PS2 to HDMI adapter Adam your best solution was to run it though an upscaler with HDMI input like the E-More Composite AV S-VIDEO to 1080P HDMI Converter I got online cheap since I'm too poor to afford a XRGB-mini FRAMEMEISTER,now the PS2 to HDMI adapter by itself never had an issue with my Insignia 2005 LCD HDTV but I wanted a crisper 1080p picture from the PS2 and an HDMI cable is better than the crummy component cables,plus the PS2 to HDMI adapter gives some scaling and better sound but not by much,thus me using the E-more upscaler aka Panlong upscaler HDMI input. This is before I found out about RGB SCART cables for PS2,online there are SCART to HDMI adapters but you may run into the same issue especially if your HDTV is an LG which is horrible for gaming,meaning you may have to daisy chain the SCART to HDMI adapter though a HDMI upscaler with a HDMI input option. Now I've never had the issues you had with my HDTV since it's old and PS2 SCART is available for NTSC users(well if your using the SCART to HDMI adapter it a non issue)and there is no need to mod your PS2 console unlike the SNES and that may be what's next for me to get,if you need more info look at the Playstation RGB episode"My Life in Gamming"did on their KZfaq Channel.I really wish I had a HD capture card,but I can't find one under $100USD so I can't show you any video on my Channel on the big differences on my PS2,I think my"replies"option is on if not let me know via my channel,I'll try to answer any questions you have Adam K. on this subject.

+AdamKoralik i dissagree, if you hook up the ps2 to a 1080p tv with component, you will notice that the video has a transparent filter. what i love about this filter is that it creates an optical illusion that makes jagged edges less noticeable without losing detail/pixels or color. its rather hard to explain, see for yourself. it is not acceptable to see jagged edges because it takes away the sense of depth in a game. on ps2, the jagged edges are distorted by the filter to be less noticeable, on ps3 ps2 classics look too sharp and the 100% picture clarity makes the game look really jagged and that turns me off from playing ps2 on ps3, even if i use component on ps3 and use NTSC, the game would still look like crap.

i changed my mind, your better off using composite on the ps2. component or 480p is only going to make the image have jagged edges everywhere. the ps2 has good composite output and it gets rid of the jagged edges without loosing too much detail. i strongly recommend you get a good 1080p tv and adjust color setting and tint in order to replicate crt color. ps2 games are just not designed for component, i never noticed jagged edges on ps2 games until component, you get sharper image with it but it takes away from 3d depth when you literally see every pixel.

I found that the best way to play ps2 was using a newer model dell 24 inch gaming monitor with component cables through a component to hdmi converter. Or the ps2 to hdmi converter. The smaller screen is perfect and you can set it to fast response time with full dynamic contrast. Clearest picture I've ever gotten. Even better than crts

chiefkeefsossa I am trying to use the composite cables on my HDTV but it says no signal. Am I doing something wrong?

@@gavinp5940 Have fun with your input latency!

@@christianruffin1342 did you change the video setting as he suggests?

Does the official Sony PS2/PS3 cables make any difference? Asking because I really don't want to spend more than 50 bucks on a used 6 feet cable..

+Dante Khoshtaria Thanks for watching!

Ps2 was designed on and for CRT TVs. New HDTVs just dont mesh well. I could get into the weeds on it.

I was wondering that too but you can't connect component cables to a CRT. Is it better with the AV cables compared to component on a HD TV?

@@chrisspearline767 some CRT TVs have component connections. My CRT doesn’t though. I just have Composite and S-Video. I play my PS2 through the S-Video connection and it looks great.

@@TheTOShow1 I have a CRT I just got for NES,SNES and Genesis but I think the PS2 looks better on a flat screen with composite cables. I haven't tried it yet on a CRT

Yes, I've used it. Long story short, I'm not a fan.

I will admit, it would shock me if it just erupted into flames during a shoot.

is it better than the ps2-hdmi thing?

@@superkostlegend6592 of course

Is it worth using a converter box if your HD TV already has component slots on the back?

@@damirzlatkic8134 no

@@diskopumper1693 alright cheers, I've tested both component by itself and also component plugged into a hdmi converter. Surprisingly no different in quality.

Yep. You'd be amazed how many people passionately defend composite. Blows my mind.

Happy to help.

Pro tip: if you have a PS2 SCART cable, you can get both RGB and YPbPr out of a PS2 without any need to swap out cables. The OSSC for example accepts both YPbPr and RGB through its SCART input.

How does that prevent the cable from blocking room for the PS2 to sit on it's side?

GR1M Equixz0r it won't hang down low and won't get in the way

Its plugged into component. Not hdmi, not usb

sleepybird09 did you bother to read his question? He asked if he’s tried OFFICIAL Sony cables because the ones in the video are not made by Sony. He knows they are PS3 cables.

RS1 the quality of a cable when using analogue video (like in component) is incredibly important. the original question was if he's using OFFICIAL cables. the cheaper component cables often have quite thin wiring which can mean interference. official sony cables are pretty well made.

But arent those expensive? I looked on Amazon and the cheapest that seems to be a PS3 Component is like 70 bucks

BlackSwordChronicles $70 and up is high end. try for less than 20. they're usually perfectly fine unless you're really anal about picture quality. a quick amazon search for me shows plenty in the $10 range, mine cost me about $15 (well, i'm in the euro area) and picture quality is excellent to my eye and i'm playing on a 55" TV. the ones to watch out for are the ones that are like $5, often the shielding in the wiring is insufficient and can lead to noise getting into the picture which is a pain in the ass. going official isn't compulsory with the PS2, what matters is that you get good quality cables, if you do that you'll get a night and day difference in some cases. Generally in my experience you see a substantial increase in colour saturation and a virtual elimination of that vaseline smear look the regular composite cables give you. though that does mean you see a lot more jaggies and dithering. games like GTA san andreas show that particularly well. if you do go with component cables though, make sure your console is set to output in component, that's Y, Cb/Pb Cr/Pr. you can change it in the system settings menu. if you don't you won't get a picture or it'll be messed up.

Cool!

tw1ztid1 Happy to help.

Thank you for watching.

Wait, how? And (but) that looks interesting, so

+Jarrah White I was wondering if that was possible and hope he tries that.

Chuyi Vue I tried it myself. For PS2 games, plugging the PS2 to HDMI into the SCART/HDMI to HDMI adapter certainly works. It upscales the picture to 1080p without issue. But for PS1 games played on the PS2, there is a problem. Most PS1 games have resolutions of 240p in NTSC regions and 288p in PAL regions. Other games use standard definition resolutions; 480i for NTSC and 576i for PAL. So long as the PS1 game stays at a fixed resolution, the SCART/HDMI to HDMI adapter can seamlessly handle the upscaling. But then you have video games such as Driver that uses the low resolutions for the actual gameplay and standard definition resolutions for the menus, cutscenes and load screens. If I try to play, for example, Driver in this configuration, the screen constantly blacks out as the game switches from 288p to 576i and vice versa. And when the picture does come back, there is the little blue info box in the bottom left corner of the screen telling you the input, output and source information. It happens way too frequency and makes recordings of the game virtually unusable. And speaking of recordings, I use an Elgato Game Capture HD for recording from my PS3 and HDMI consoles. While the picture looks great on the TV, the colours in the capturing come out rather fogged. In fact, the S-video to DVD recordings look better. My Elgato Card comes with a special component cable that plugs directly into the PS3 and Elgato card itself. This cable is interchangeable with the PS2 and the recordings look vastly better than captured in with the HDMI adapter, but unfortunately the Elgato card does not accept any resolutions lower than 480i through its component or HDMI input. A component to HDMI upscaler might be able to solve the problem, but I'm yet to find such a device that can seamlessly switch between 240/288p to 480/576i and back again. The PS3 can handle the changes without issue, but it does not support the memory cards without an adapter and because it uses emulation software to play the PS1 games I have noticed a glitch or two in some games. So if you only want to play PS2 games in their best quality, the component cables or HDMI adapter will do the trick and any upscaler will boost it to 1080p without interruption. But if you want to play PS1 games, you'll need to either play them on the PS3 or just settle for S-video on the PS2. The PS1's optimum quality is RGB SCART, but the switching resolutions can also be a problem in RGB to HDMI upscalers too. Personally, I have my PS2 plugged into a Panasonic EX79 DVD/HDD recorder via S-video, and the recorder outputs to the TV in HDMI. I think it looks great and there is no dropouts between 288p and 576i.

Jarrah White damn that was a long response LOL I read the whole thing tho, thx for info. I don't really plan on playing ps1 games, mostly ps2

Chuyi Vue Well, then the component cables or HDMI should do fine. Hopefully you found my suggestions helpful should you decide to go back to PS1 games.

Used to have one and sold it before I found how good they are :/

+chigimonky That is correct sir.

chigimonky lmao I got a dog Trinitron crt free. ordering some component cables to replace the composite ones tonight.

Easier said than done lol. It's damn near impossible to find a good quality crt in Ontario, Canada

Have a Panasonic 100hz CRT TV. Up there as well. Beautifully produced picture and PS1 games in component on the PS2 is arguably better than HDMI on the PS3

GamingByteTv ps one games look ok on ps3 upscaled

Alot of NTSC games actually had hidden options in the games to get it to display 60hz natively. At least to my knowledge that was the case and it varied from game to game.

Happy to help.

Super_Buza It does not.

AdamKoralik That's too bad. Do you happen to know if their is any way to play my PS1 games without downgrading cables?

Super_Buza Definitely, use a PS3.

AdamKoralik I was expecting that answer haha. I have a PS3 but I kind of like using memory cards and wired controllers, I don't know how to explain it, it just does something for me. Are there ANY other possible ways?

Super_Buza Use a PC? Nothing I'd normally recommend, but I know it's a popular choice.

+Jarom Henricksen No problem, thanks for watching!

Ha, I'm honored.

I was born in 80, and my first system was the SEGA Master System. We were by no means "rolling in the dough". It was usually one game at my birthday, maaaybe three at Christmas. Unless a system had been released, then it was the system. With SEGA being my first, I've always kinda went with the underdog of the generation. That is until the shitbrick Nintendo decided to call the Wii came out....I was sooo close to getting it, but the gaming gods were with me! I helped a guy move a couple weeks before THE DAY. He was one of those "I only play sports games, I'm not into that other stuff." guys. His girlfriend was more gamer than him and had Twilight Princess, and Raving Rabbids. Within an hour I had played as much as I could handle of FOUR games! Her two, Wii Sports, andsome golf game he had...I didnt even fuck with Madden. But the frustration that I had reached before even starting a game had me kinda shocked honestly. I was pretty fucking sure that one of us had made a mistake while setting it up, or that it might have gotten fucked up during the move somehow. He assured me that thats how it played and that I was just not using the controller right. That one hour, and having Mr. "I only play with balls." tell me that I didnt know how to use a controller was more than enough for me.

Jeremy Olgin 🖕🏿

Got my cable today and hooked it up and all I can say is a million times thank you!! The picture quality is amazing!! It's exactly how I remembered it back in the day. My old setup was awful and I didn't even want to play because it was so dark and blurry.

Roughman123 no ps2 to hdmi looks better on lcd tv

Me

same, its strange as the PsOne and N64 can upscale well. Even with emulation it is very difficult to make the PS2 look meaningfully better. , Some games have such give and take; like shadow of the colossus I leave at 480p or lower on pcsx2 as at higher resolutions those polys are nasty, making the game look like a psOne game on steroids. The one big Achilles heel the ps2 had over its rivals, including the dreamcast; was a lack of vram so most games with fancy effects needed to run at that postage stamp of a resolution 480i/240p.
