PS2 tweaks!! (Reducing the jaggies!!)
« on: February 06, 2002, 06:11:25 PM »
Are you dissapointed with the jagged edges in your PS2 games? Well here are 2 things that ANYBODY could to to smooth things out!

1. Straighten out your cords. Make sure to keep the AV cord as straight as possible!! Do let it double over itself or make any sharp turns. Smooth connections for smooth receptions!!

2. Put the Screen size at "4:3". In the System Settings most people put the screen size at "Full"

DON\'T!!!

The screen is alot smoother in Games and in DVD movies with the System Browser set to "4:3"!! And don\'t worry it won\'t change the size of any other media. (Games still play at full screen and movies play at whatever you set them at in the DVD menu) The difference is they will be alot smoother!!

Try it!!

Hmmm..., that\'s a truly different, not to mention the first, perspective on D.I.Y. AA I\'ve ever heard.

How do I think it works? Because I have done it! And I have told a bunch of friends around here and they have all had success too!

I only have, SSX and Gran Turismo 3: A-spec right now. But I have tested, Devil May Cry, Timesplitters, and several DVD\'s and noticed everything is smoother!

I with the resolution setting, games looked alot cleaner and smoother. The DVD movies had a cleaner look too. (I even noticed a difference in the grit-fest "Saving Private Ryan".)

The cord thing was instant fix, If your cord is kinked up, or still got folds in it cuz it was just bought, (like mine) than straightening it out should smooth things up for you. *If it has to have make a turn between the TV and PS2, (again like mine) make it wide and smooth as possible!* No sharp 90 degree turns!

A good place to really see the changes is the character selection screen of SSX. (Or where I first noticed it, the top of the crowd stands in the fly-by of Snow Dream.)

The changes were definately noticable in the other games too.

hmmm... he could be right !!! :eek:

The day before tomorrow, I opend an interstellar gate from here to Proxima Prime, then put my PS2 into a Microwave Oven and shiped it to that place... it was a bit difficulty to get such a long cord, but it was worth it !!! Now my pic is as smooth as a "Babys Ass" !!!!!!!!!

What a coincidence...I did the same thing just the other day!!

Oh...and this is the dumbest advice I\'ve ever heard, but it\'s the effort that counts, right?

Also...what were you thinking, mm? *Ugh* That\'s the worst picture...shame :confused:

Oh yeah, indeed! With all those ones and zeros running through the wires, it\'s of course wise to keep them as straight as possible. The zeros just swoop through, no problem, but the ones have sharp corners that get stuck in the curves, eh?

I can\'t imagine how any of those tricks could help for better AA... maybe Knemesis\' eyesight has just gotten a bit worse and he\'s got FSAA (FullSight Anti-Aliasing) built in his head now :p
