Strange logic. ??? |

My logic only worked back when ps2's were being sold new for cheap, and that's when I had bought mine. For some reason I'm still thinking you can find brand new ps2 slims on shelves lol |

What I will probably do, is get the system fixed, or fix it myself...then put money back to get a slim, and keep the HDD backed up. I have a PS2 connected to an external upscaler, which does make the games look nicer than they do through the PS3, and PS1 games do upscale nicely...with a .5ms lag...atleast on Tomb Raider 2. |

Anyway, nowadays I think it's just quicker and easier to get a new ps2 (if theyre still around?) and a new ps3 instead of hunting around for a launch ps3 --- End quote --- You would be correct to assume that I don't have a PS3, I just have some games I bought to play up at this vocational school I went to a few months ago that had a PS3, but they had no games to play on it, and to play at my uncles house, because he has a PS3. Also, I have a PS2, the original fat model, and I payed $50 for it at GameStop after my dad smashed the last one (cuz I pissed him off) that he and my mom bought from my uncle for $75, and it would probably be better for me to play my PS1 and PS2 games on a PS2, then to track down a launch model PS3, that'll probably cost me a heck of alot more then a newer one. Also, to zakurowrath, that's where I found information on what PS1, and PS2 games I can actually play on a PS3. |

--- Quote from: zakurowrath on September 17, 2012, 06:14:06 PM ---Actually you can scarmullet. PS1 games look beautiful in component using the PS2. The problem is that it's low res component 240p which most all modern TV's can't accept without an upscaler. Most CRT's with component inputs however can display the very low resolution. --- End quote --- Wow, that's the reason why people are getting a black screen? Lucky for me my projector is built around TV standards and handles 240p and just fine. ;D Thanks zakurowrath, you saved me from having to go find a PS1 and S-video cables. :) Now to find me some PS2 component cables... |
