Playstation 2

The reality of playing PS2 in 2024.

All PS2 games look really blurry on Panasonic Viera TV.

For comparison, when I play the Jak trilogy on PS5 (which is just the PS2 ports), it has a sharp and crisp image. But the same games on an actual PS2 are much lower quality. This leads me to think there's some scaling issue that the PS5 automatically fixes since I don't think they remastered it or anything. And the same applies to every PS2 game.

It's currently connected via RCA component cables, and I tried messing with the game mode settings on the TV but it didn't really do anything noticeable. I'm wondering if I should buy a PS2 to HDMI converter or if that might be even worse than the current set up. I don't have much money I can spend but if I need to I will, just whatever it takes to get it looking good. It looks like sh*

Hi all, I’m currently the only mod here and I’ve sadly had to be less active given sizable real life responsibilities. So posting here to see if anyone is up for assisting in mod management? It's still pretty small right now but it's good to get ahead on these early I feel. Some of the other 6th gen communities could also use some as well, but those are currently small enough that I'm starting here first and posting on those later on given the smaller post pool.

If anyone’s interested just comment below and I can get things approved from there, Preferably say any experience you have if applicable.

Is there a way to move an archived version of the posts over to here? The subreddit seems to be dead but there is so little content here.

This is pretty much the best guide on getting the most out of your PS2.

I am just curious. It looks pretty cool. I hope that the devs make it work out.
