1) Upscaling actually doesn't help. You see it puts the games in high defintion, but once they're in hd, you notice a lot of graphical flaws and pixelation, not because there's anything wrong with the upscaling, but because ps2 games weren't mastered for high definition and hence will look bad if upscaled. Once you get you ps3, you will probably want to adjust the settings so that your ps2 games are not upscaled. Thats actually the way they look better and less crappy.

2. Yes the memory card adaptor works with both cards, ps2 and ps1.

Hope I could help

I don't agree. They definitely look better when you upscale and smooth them on an HDTV as opposed to displaying them in their native resolution on an HDTV. However, they do look much better displayed in their native resolution on an SDTV. If you're going to be playing them on an HDTV, however, upscaling and smoothing is the way to go.

Ya. I know they usually look better on an SDTV, except for a few rare titles such as odin sphere. Im actually getting ready to purchase a dedicated gaming tv and I think I may pick up a tube HDTV so it can produce true HD and SD images (and a good one goes for about $700). The only problem is Im concerned about the HD image quality.

Im about to get a PS3, but am curious about how well it actually handles PS1 and PS2 games, in SD and HD. right now my PS2/1 games half of the time look like crap on my plasma, even with the component cables, so how much does the upscaling actually help.? Also, the ps2 memory card adapter, does it work with the PS1 cards as well?

An ebay lot that just came in:

A sega Genesis 2 with a SegaCD and:

All complete, but the cases are a little dinged up:

Pitfall: The Mayan Adventure

Rise of the Dragon

Tomcat Alley

Sonic CD

Dragon's Lair

Cart only:

Sonic Spinball

And now that I have a Genesis 2 I can finally use my 32x which I didn't have the correct adapter for to hook it up to my genesis1.

Prey - Collector's edition (360) - $18

Exit (PSP)- $9

[QUOTE="aspro73"]Dreamt last night that I was in Target and I found two or three titles that I wanted, but all were Greatest Hits labels only. More of a nightmare I guess. They were regular games, but as soon as I touched them the red GH label would appear on the top of the box. I think that's the second video game purchasing nightmare I've ever had. gakon5

I have had a similar reaccuring dream. I go to a new used game store in town (one that doesn't really exist mind you) and I find all of these rare games at great prices only to find out that they only have the boxes for them and not the games themselves.

OR, sometimes the store has an endless supply of games and but they all suck beyond belief.

Sidenote since this is the OT thread:

Man I hate my new job and its stupid internet filter that blocks almost all sites with the word "game" in the url. Well, actually Im not sure how they block sites because, gamespot, 1up, IGN, Cheapassgamer, and a few other sites are blocked, but gameStop and EBgames are not. Anyways, this leads to me actually having to do my work and not surf the forums all day. I guess they win.

They probably use IWSS, we do the same here (in this scenario I play the role of "the man" who is "keeping everyone down") but I bypass the proxy. But that sucks for you. You could use anonimizers, but no doubt they will be blocked as well, that's the man for you, always one step ahead.

Ive heard you can usually get around these things, but I work for a Federal Agency, and they seem to be sticklers for these types of things, so Im not going to even try. My old agency didn't care as long as we don't "abuse" our use of the internet and don't go to porn.

Nothing too rare, so we will call it less-than-common games:

PS2 - Ico, Rez

GC-Ikaruga, Eternal Darkness

Xbox- Xyanide

Are you playing on an HDTV, or a TV that is a different size than what you are used to?

HDTVs tend to make colors more pronounced, so a game that is very colorful maybe too much for your eyes to process in HD (eyestrain often leads to headaches).

TV size can have a similar effect. You mentioned MMORPGs i believe, so that means staring at a computer screen, which is often smaller than a TV.
