Maybe it\'s supposed to do this but does anybody have any ps2 games that have DVD on it, and when you play it do you notice flickering on backgrounds? It only seems to happen with me on white lines or white letters....... Well, does it happen to you at all? Is it normal? I got a 3001 model... help me if you can.....

What game dose it do it on ?

Throw us a BONe on this one :D.

It could possibly be your TV. Because of the way frames are rendered you might notice some flicker because of the alternating lines of horizontal resolution being refreshed. If you have a cheap TV this becomes more noticable.
In any case I\'m no expert, you should probably wait on Dolby, Videoholic or another of this forums resident video geniouses.

come to think of it I have a really, REALLY old one, it\'s gotta be older than my life! 1986! my dad says he got it somewhere in 1980..... I\'m gonna hook it up downstairs on my family\'s new one, a Toshiba made in like 1998..... I\'ll tell you later if I notice a change in the games.....

Dude, it has nothing to do with whether they are DVD format or not (if that is what you were implying).
It can\' t make any difference what format there on.

yeah it does!!! it only happens on DVD games!! I have 2 other games and they don\'t screw up.. anyways how would you know?

Because the media the game is coming off has nothing to do with what is on the screen.
IT IS DIGITAL MEDIA!
THink of it like this. If Namco put Ridge Racer 5 on DVD instead of CD, then the graphics would be NO different!
Developers would all be scrammbling for DVD if that was the case.
It is probably just couinsidense.

Are all Australians this stupid?

Excuse me?

I don\'t think this can help ajoh but when your ps2 goes into a black screen eg after u\'ve gone thru browser does the background flicker? that what happened to mine and my tv is a 1999 model... now i just ignored it but my power inside is now not working.. it could be that it\'s a coincidence or it could be that the problems linked... i doubt the last one.

Your an immature idiot. How the hell does a game being on DVD have anything to do with flickering backgrounds?
You are one member I dont like...

I\'m really only pointing at this one....

Us Aussies rock!

I think RaCeR is right - I don`t see what the CD or DVD should have to do with it.
Lowering the contrast setting on your TV could help a bit....

Umm, guys, I think he\'s talking partly about what some call jaggies. When the big stuff with jaggies is father away in the background it causes a wierd flickering effect. The games mentioned are ones I have that have some jaggies at least. Every tv that I
ve seen these games played on has the jaggies. Except for maybe the wierd demo screens sony uses. Anyways, it\'s from how the game is developed by the developer I believe. I really doubt it\'s dvd\'s cause I have dvd games without the problem and cd games with the problem. COuld be wrong, just my 5 cents.
-
PS2 has some incompatibility problems with older TVs. It may be that this only occurs on DVD games; I don\'t know.
I wish more developers would program on DVD, then loading screens would almost be a thing of the past. It\'s time for that sh1t to go.
Bottom line: 1-800-345-SONY

It happens to me also, and I have a brand new Sony 21". It is to do with how the game engine draws and displays the graphics. Doesn`t help the fact that games usually rendered in only 640 x 480 or less. Low res games will nearly always have this prob.
