Get the Best Picture from your PlayStation 2! The PS2 was designed very specifically for the CRTs of its day. How does it look on CRTs vs. HDTVs, and what are some of the challenges with various cables and upscalers? And you might be surprised by how PS3 backwards compatibility works!
All this, plus HD port comparisons and more!
NOTE: The nature of interlaced video makes it critical that you watch this episode at 60 frames per second, or else many shots just will not look right at all. Ideally, also view on the fastest monitor or TV that you have available. While RU-vid's compression doesn't fully convey the effect, the OSSC's bob deinterlacing is completely butchered on monitors with a slow pixel response time.

To this day I think the PS2 was the most hyped gaming system of all-time. I worked in electronics at Wal-mart and we had at least 20 calls a day asking if we had any PS2s in stock after it was launched. That answer was usually no.

For the PS3, the yellow light of death has finally been accurately diagnosed. It is a set of capacitors, the NEC TOKIN ones that filter power to the PS3. You can read more on it but the yellow light of death can be fixed, and once it's fixed, it is permanently fixed.

@ArtumTsumia 4 года назад

This sounds interesting. I'd had my PS3 _reballed_ back in the day after I ran into the YLOD, though I'm not certain if any additional repair work was done. If the (or at least one) of the issues has been diagnosed, that's good to know and probably means it'll be easier for me to take preventative action with my old BC 80gb Fat.

The PS2 is, by far, my favorite console of ALL time. Its library is so huge, and I still discover more hidden gems from it all the time. Thanks for the great work, guys.

@bemorewantless 6 лет назад

Seriously, it is outstanding. I went through some trouble to get a Sony HD CRT this year in order to get the best image possible out of the PS2, and it made such a huge difference. The image with Component is better than when I was a kid, and back then I was blown away by PS2 S-Video. Also, I had no idea that God Hand existed until this video, so you're right about the hidden gems too.

(also, add my voice to the anecdote about having "repair services" fix their PS3s without lasting success. My 60GB PAL launch model, half-hardware/partial-emulation, eventually died of YLOD after a few years -- I sent it off to a repair guru who claimed to reball the whole device, but it died again within a few weeks. The very same thing happened with my Xbox 360 Elite launch unit, which died of RRoD and despite MULTIPLE repair attempts by a guru, died each time)

@weaverquest 6 лет назад

Jeff T That's bullshit. My PC has Core 2 quad q8300 from 2008 or something and it runs DOOM 2016 at 14-17 FPS low settings 720p whereas PS4 runs it at 1080p medium-high settings and solid 60fps. Yes the CPU clock speed is slow but there are 8 cores and I assume there have been other improvements to CPU features since then which some developers clearly take good advantage of. Just look at how good the animations, physics and ai of the machines are on Horizon Zero Dawn or how good SW Battlefront II looks while running at 60fps.

@ElricSowrd 6 лет назад

Jeff T Even on PS3 and XBox 360, original fighting games still run in 60 FPS. Metal Gear Solid Vs is a free roaming game and it also runs in 60 FPS on PS4 and XBox One, so why couldn't games like Uncharted 4, Lost Legacy, the Assassin's Creed games and fucking FFXV on those Platforms do that?

@gentarofourze 6 лет назад

Thats what they call optimisation, that and these days games are made with console in mind and lazily ported to pc, if it was built for pc in the first place the console requirements would be higher, this is why GTA4 runs terrible even on a high end pc from now.

I recently got a PS2 slim and bought some 1st party component cables. Hooked it up to my 65 inch 4K tv and was expecting it to look meh. Honestly was impressed at how clear it all came out, granted all I've tested is Shadow Hearts but still, it looks quite nice

@mylifeingaming 6 лет назад

[Try4ce] It's true, plugging component cables straight into your HDTV does not look bad at all if your TV does a decent job of handling it, and you have realistic expectations for what PS2 resolution is gonna look like!

@FinalBaton 6 лет назад

Some HDTV and 4K sets handle 480p content quite well, so if you set your expectations accordingly like Try said, then it can look quite allright. 480i is harder to pull off still, due to the required deinterlacing but some sets still handle it quite decently.

@VinchVolt 6 лет назад

It's interesting seeing just how different the design philosophies of the Dreamcast, PS2, GameCube, and Xbox truly were. - The Dreamcast was designed to bring the NAOMI arcade experience to the living room and kickstart a new era in gaming. - The PS2 was designed to follow up the success and hype of the PS1, turn game consoles into more than just game consoles, and take full advantage of everything CRTs had to offer. - The GameCube was designed to bring gaming into the digital audio/video age (albeit much too early for its own good) and break Nintendo out of the mold of them being a behind-the-times kiddy company (an effort that crashed and burned as soon as it got off the ground). - The Xbox was designed to bridge the gap between console gaming and PC gaming and pick up the slack when Sega's huge debts inevitably took them out of the race. Really, the vast diversity of visions present in sixth generation consoles, combined with the sixth generation's general emphasis on experimentation (meaning that any genre could sell pretty damn well, with no conforming to a general trend), made 1998-2007 a sort of creative high point for the gaming industry as a whole, even if it was during a time when gaming had become incredibly niche. It's a shame that we probably won't see such a widespread amount of creative diversity in the industry again for a long while, if at all.

@PS2museum 6 лет назад

I agree on your last point. WIth PS3/360 generation everything went towards mass market, AAA budgets and common taste. But on the other hand: indie games today have some kind of counter weight, don't you think?

@rokmare 6 лет назад

During that era unlike today games are deal breakers people go where the games are and most are exclusive to one or the other unlike today where most games are multiplat. Also that era is the last were consoles are different from PCs because games release on consoles back than never had pc ports.

I don't think so. PS3 have huge library of vastly different games and the best library of japanese imports in it's generation. Wii have also many hidden gems. Xbox360 was for me the odd one of them and the least interesting, with mainly Western developers on board. I still prefer my PS3 before PS4 because of many exclusive japanese games on it, most of them never ported elsewhere (or on PS Vita, which is for most people like they never existed). I was into strategy games and CRPGs at the time when PS2 rulled, so I wasn't interested and jumped from Mega Drive and Sega Saturn straight into PS3. And for me is PS3 my most beloved console (and PS Vita my most favourite handheld).

Something that you guys missed is how some PS2 games handle widescreen; certain games (like God of War, Ratchet and Clank, and Jak and Daxter) use vert- scaling, which means they actually chop off the top and bottom of the screen in order to fit it into a widescreen display. So you may have to sacrifice resolution for some games if you want widescreen. The Wikipedia list mentioned in the video also lets you know if a game uses this method.

48:20 For those that love their fat PS3s and want to avoid the "yellow light of death" I would highly recommend getting in there and replacing the thermal paste on the CELL and RSX. The paste that SONY used seems to be of very poor quality and by this point in the life of those consoles has usually degraded into useless, caked, chalky mess. It is a really simple fix for anyone with basic electronics or PC building experience. Plenty of good tutorials on RU-vid. I few years ago the power supply on my launch 60GB PS3 died and I took the opportunity to replace the thermal paste while I had the thing open. It was huge improvement on the stability of the system and the noise level, as the system spends much less time with its fan in "jet engine mode."

@TheKillermike83 6 лет назад

I bought a fully hardware backwards compatible PS3 about 2 months ago it works great but I'm seriously afraid to use it lol. I ordered Arctic silver paste but haven't had a chance to fix it. Do you think after replacing the paste I won't have to worry?

@Caruniom 6 лет назад

Climatee not really. Get the IHS off the GPU and CPU and replace that thermal paste. As that is the paste that was applied quite badly many times not even even completely covering the DIE. But unfortunately it is quite hard to get the IHS off the CPU. I replaced that thermal paste with liquid metal. So I have nothing to worry about anymore. But really the PS3 is a terrible system to take apart and put together again.

Man, I really love the PlayStation 2 growing up ever since me and my brother Tyler have that console when we were kids. The first PlayStation 2 we got for Christmas was bundled with ATV Offroad Fury 2. Good times.

It's pretty easy to get a good quality image out of the Xbox, pretty much every game support progressive scan on the Xbox. It's more a matter of finding good quality scart or component cables for it. There are a lot of cheap Chinese cables that are bad. But anyway, an episode about the Xbox would be very cool.

I just purchased a PS2 about a week ago. I’m currently buying all of the games I had back them as a kid. I really appreciate this video. I’ll be able to experience classic gameplay in an updated visual state. Thank you guys for your tile and work on this video.

PS2 is my favourite console of all time. Gt3, 4, splinter cell, soul reaver 2, re4, gta, tekken, hitman 2, onimusha, tenchu. So many superb games. And when developers knew the system inside out the graphics were sublime. I still own a PS2, if your going to play one on a modern TV component out with an HD upscale, however playing it on a Crt particularly sonys trinitron tech is recommended.

@ErikGPL 6 лет назад

Thanks! I've just ordered a proper SCART cable at retrogamingcables, as I have very loud buzzing noises with cheap cables from China. Can't wait to try them out.

As a lifelong collector, gamer and now game dev artist, your vids have generously provided absurd amounts of knowledge on topics I've been completely ignorant of for over 30 years. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, MLG.

@thatvidyaguy4885 6 лет назад

Theres also the PS2 VGA mod, It pulls the RGB signal from the board itself and bypasses the video encoder to give itself a better picture. The mod is very obscure and can only be done on PS2s with motherboard revisions older than GH-015. I only found about about it via some obscure fourm posts and the small entry they have the playstation page on retroRGB.

@justanotheryoutubechannel 5 лет назад

Honestly, a few years ago I thought interlacing was a stupid and terrible idea, but after spending some time with a good CRT and some 576i vide, I’ve realised it honestly can look really good.

@TyWashdaddy 4 года назад

I'm glad you give that warning at the beginning of the vid because I saw no difference until I realized I haven't changed my settings. Was saving data😄

@Mrcandles312 Год назад

I LOVE LOVE LOVE that you mention Dragon Quest VIII and the best setup to play it. That was literally the whole reason I started watching this video. I started to play it on PS2 on my 4K tv and it looked horrendous. After trying several workarounds (mcboot, etc) and not really knowing/wanting to use emulation, I eventually used exactly what you suggested. I found a backwards compatible PS3 off of Craigslist for $60 and I bought a Mclassic. I used the smoothing and upscaling features. I’ve been absolutely thrilled with the result. Thank you!

@sithlordbok420 4 года назад

Those Monster component cables with "death grip" need to be twisted as you pull. That's why they have a helix style cutout instead of the straight cut. Reason being is they are meant to be plugged and left alone knowing even if tripped over, they will remain attached. But can be quickly taken off as opposed to actual screw on variants.

@nichoalaz6235 3 года назад

@ryujin1619 5 лет назад

These videos are great Have you guys got any tips for getting the best image from a ps3 on a crt? I use crt so there's no lag on fighting games but i wonder what cables/output settings would give the best quality on a Sony trinitron without introducing lag.

@M_LittleRivers 2 года назад

Great video guys! As always. To fix the "wider than 4:3" aspect ratio in partial emulation PS3 consoles, did you try setting the PS3 upscaling option to "Full screen" and your TV settings to 4:3? I'm curious if that would fix it. Does the "Off" option has this issue with the 4:3 aspect ratio too? Thanks!

@zoehou7229 4 года назад

Hi Fairwell, can you suggest some models to look at? Doing some searching, I found Samsung UN50RU7100 / UN50RU7200 and UN58RU7100. But I didn't find a way to filter searches by "has component-video input", so it's been slow going. Thanks!

@Dynamic1312 4 года назад

@@casualvanilla while this is true, if you buy the TV secondhand and the original owner threw out the OEM component cable adapter then you might be out of luck. At least I was and I had to buy a component to HDMI adapter.

I just got my setup finished with my SNES, N64, Gamecube, and PS2 all hooked up to my switcher and going to a CRT. I plan on getting S-Videos for all of them because I do like how it looks on there. Awesome video guys.

@teddym2808 3 года назад

Excellent and informative video, thank you. I now understand why much of my PS2 library that took me TWO YEARS to rip looks dull on PCSX2 (now I know to mess with the deinterlace options). My console itself was connected to a very good Philips CRT and I enjoyed it for many years but the CRT is long dead, and I still have this huge library of games however I was very unhappy with the PS2 on my 60" 4K tv via component cables.. So for me at least, PCSX2 is the way to go for now and better than nothing.

@mylifeingaming 5 лет назад

[Try4ce] It is, in my opinion, the PS2's best-aged game visually, so I am biased toward using it to demonstrate 480p on PS2. It's got 480p, proper widescreen support, runs at 60 frames per second, and has a charming visual style with a flat painted texture style. Can't beat that.

@MarioMario456 5 лет назад

Will you release RGB 211, the video for the SEGA Dreamcast? Also explain the VGA boxes.

@MoonSpiritChannel 6 лет назад

Man, so much information flooding my mind. Good to know how PS2 will be played for the modern age. Real damn shame Sony is not following suit like Microsoft and going backwards compatibility. Then again, Nintendo isn't doing the same either.

@ABaumstumpf 6 лет назад

Well, it is kinda understandable: The PS2 and PS3 were rather specialized Hardware. emulating a PS2 even now takes a lot of CPU power - you can say roughly 10-20x that of the PS2, and the PS3 had even stranger spezialized Vector-units and other stuff. the first Ps3 models actually had the PS2 Hardware inside to do the emulating, then some versions tried it in software (which had some problems).

@Bond007er 6 лет назад

Well Nintendo switch is using cartridges and wiiu used disc so it's very understandable cause switch is handheld and console

@maboroshi1986 6 лет назад

considering the chips used for the PS2 haven't been manufactured for 6 years and the cost issues with the PS3, they may have simply been turned off doing hardware emulation because of it. with nintendo i'm glad they moved away, the gamecube hardware simply wasn't competitive anymore, no matter how much overclocking they did with it. but even the Wii U can natively play gamecube games (with a bit of softmodding and ISO ripping)

@whatsupbossanova 5 лет назад

@kavya1638 5 лет назад

Also I've got a question regarding modded CRTs to include RGB input. Some tutorials have you add capacitors or resistors inside the TV. If these caps are installed, does that mean you no longer need to use a scart cable that uses caps? Or do you still need caps both in the cable and inside the CRT where the mod was done?

@UpYourArsenalTV 6 лет назад

@d-ice759 5 лет назад

14:47 For some reason? Not everybody worldwide had HDTVs and HDMI cables back in 2006. There were very few people that had them in that year and a lot of people were still using CRTs and composite or s-video because HDTVs and HDMI cables were expensive at the time. If you can not afford a HDTV or HDMI cables, or course you plug it in with something else other than HDMI.

@AuntieAliasing 5 лет назад

I think his point is that composite was the only cable that ever came with a new PS3. Even the Super Slims from 2012 all the way until they stopped making them in 2017 only came with composite, although HDTVs were extremely common by then.

@theobserver4214 4 года назад

D-Ice Well, they couldn’t have bothered with Component at the very least? In 2006 people definitely had SDTVs/EDTVs capable of using component.

@jenniferlynn3579 4 года назад

Blank, that's not true, either. Most people still had SDTVs, though plenty of them had component inputs, they were still limited to 480i. I *wish* that the PS3 came with component cables. :(
