480p PS2 games

[Johnny]

Just noticed that KoF 98 Ultimate Match supports 480p, is there a list anywhere of all PS2 titles which support this? Is this feature only enabled if played on a PS3?

At the minute, interested to know if Sengoku Basara X supports it.

There you go! The PS2 can also do 480p on these games if you use component inputs.

[NekoFever]

It's become a bit pointless now with HD consoles, but I always used HDTV Arcade back in the day. That lists the resolution, widescreen, and surround sound support of games on assorted older machines. Even the one 32X game that supports widescreen!

[fallenangle]

I'd treat that wikipedia list with suspiscion until you get confirmation elsewhere. I had a quick look at it and the very first thing I saw was an error: Beyond Good & Evil PAL is shown as not supporting 480p. Well I was only playing it a couple of months ago and it was definitely running in 480p. One odd thing about it though that might have lead to the incorrect info was that the prog scan test mode was faulty but as long as you clicked to confirm it was OK the game went into 480p mode no problem.

[Sane]

I made a thread a good while back with a list of games that had been confirmed but strangely it seems to have been deleted .

Good thing I kept a backup, it's not been updated for a while but everything on it has been tested and confirmed.

*(this game has 4 options: non interlace, interlace, progressive 480p and progressive 480p scanlines. I'm not sure what the exact difference between them is since i can't read japanese)

[smshun]

NTSC-J Virtua Fighter 4 Evolution should support 480p

[sailor-fuku]

God of war 1 and 2 ( NTSC-J ) both have 480p...

Also Tekken 5 has the option as well...

[fallenangle]

God of war 1 and 2 ( NTSC-J ) both have 480p...

Sorry but PAL Tekken 5 (at least the Platinum version) definitely doesn't support 480p. It has a 60Hz and a (poorly done) widescreen option but not prog scan. It's not a hidden option you can force by holding down X + triangle during boot either, as some people claim.

PAL Tekken 4 does have 480p support but np widescreen.

[rav3n]

sorry about the thread digging

i cant get Sega Rally Championship (bonus disc) to run @ 480p

tried pressing triangle and x after (and keep both pressed), without success. i run other games @ 480p fine with that "combination"

i also tried pressing triangle and x (and keep both pressed), without success

anyone can really confirm that the combination triangle plus x works for this game? am i doing something wrong?

[egparadigm]

Sometimes the option is actually in the menu. Have you checked them? Also, I assume you've set component/YPbPr in the PS2 system menu?

[Roddie]

I was under the impression that no PAL games supported this, I remember being disappointed that I couldn't play Gran Turismo in 480p on a new HD TV my brother had just bought. Maybe it's the Gamecube that didn't have any PAL 480p support?

A quick look through the list reveals that the only games I own on it are Guitar Hero II, Guitar Hero 80's and Shadow of the Colossus. Can anyone confirm if SotC does indeed support it? Lost my disc (hopefully in the house) but might be inspired to look for it if this works.

[C']

There were a few PAL PS2 games that offered 480P support early in it's life (Soul Calibur 2 and Tekken 4 both being examples off hand but there were others).

However, as it got later and later into the PS2's lifecycle, the option started getting removed from PAL versions for some reason even when they were present in the NTSC games (Tekken 5, Soul Calibur 3 and as you say GT5 are all examples where the option was removed).

[speedlolita]

PAL Tekken 5 doesn't even have 60hz IIRC.

[fallenangle]

PAL Tekken 5 does have the 60Hz option and looks far better for it too. But unlike Tekken 4 which does support 480p it has a (crap) widescreen option and an odd (unique) 'Sharp' mode. I don't know what the latter is doing but IMHO it does improve the picture.

IIRC NTSC GT4 (and GT3?) is one of the few PS2 games actually supported 1080i as well as 480p. As said the PAL versions had just 50/60Hz options.

It is sometimes reported that some PAL games have a hidden 480p option that can be activated by holding TRIANGLE & X during the games' boot up. I try it on all my PAL PS2 and few NTSC games on first load and not found any. The 480p PAL PS2 games I have all say so either in the manual or offer it as an option in the set-up menus..

BTW there are even some PAL games where they say in the manual the game supports 480p but it doesn't. The manual is either incorrect or more like they just haven't bothered to print a PAL specific one.

I don't know about PAL SofC - I do have a copy but it's still sealed so I'm not going open it just to check but the case blurb doesn't state 480p support as far as I can see.

[Jay]

PAL SotC definitely has a 480p option. I've used it.
