I have had my PS3 for 2 years now and have wondered why ps1 and ps2 games look like . A few ps1&PS2 games look fine but the majority do not. I have adjusted the ps1&2 settings on the ps3 menu , it does nothing. is it because of new HD t.v's ?? .Anyone have the same problems?
Games that were originally rendered at a resolution of 320x200 just aren't going to look good on a display made for 1280x720 or 1920x1080. You're prolly just used to seeing the "good stuff" these days.
X2,nothing you can do about it.
PS1 and PS2 games look fine on my 60gig PS3. They look just like they did on the PS2. It may be because I don't have a fancy TV though.
Common issue. Something about the graphics drivers on the PS3 being different and actually making a PS1/2 game look worse. It's been proven in side by side comparisons.

Apparently, a firmware update is the fix if your PS3 encounters this....

FWIW-- the PS1 games I have show no discernible difference on my PS3.....I have an 80GB system I purchased in early 2007.
I have FF XII yet haven't played it in quite some time......perhaps I'll bust out the PS2 I have and hook it up just to see if there's an issue with my console or not....
This will never be an issue for me, since I have one of the 120g PS3 slims. That means I can't play anything but PS3 games now. That's not a big deal, though, since I still have my PS2 hooked up in the shop.
ive always heard its due to how the ps3 emulates ps2 games. PS2 uses hardware emulation, PS3 uses software emulation. PS2's are super cheap now.
boot49 on ps3 add me fellas
Has anyone else played Star Wars: The Force Unleashed yet? One of the best console games I've played in a very long time. Probably the best 1st person. I got the Ultimate Sith Edition with the tin case and every optional costume you can think of from any movie, (You can even play as C3PO, young or old Kinobe, or as Luke from episodes IV, V, or VI). And since it's Bluray, it's all on one disk. 360 players can't play the levels on the first disk with the costumes, because they're on the second disk. PS3 wins again! The list is below, but I didn't need to make the achievements in the parentheses to use them.
