GS Mode Selector 240p?

[nyder]

Can GS Mode Selector be used to force a 480i PS2 game into 240P?

on the GS Mode Selector screen I selected SD NTSC non interlaced, it basically cut the screen in half.

(Using tated PVM-2530 via RGB)

Also, I know a lot of PS2 shmup titles output at 240p when in tate mode, is that the case with Raiden 3?

I've done a some research, and it appears that hex editing and ppf patching was being used to force ps2 games into 240p if GSM won't do this is that the standard methiod?

thanks again,

Nyd

there is a link to the 240p patches halfway through. i'm using it with ibara and mushi and it works great. according to this topic raiden 3 should work too.

i wasn't able to achieve 240p with GSM / HD Xploder.

IIRC, you need GSM v.23 for 240p, that's what I use anyway.

Thanks,

But how are you achieving 240p via GSM?

Do you select SD NTSC from the GSM mode selector menu?

Also, is there a patch for raiden 3 or just those 2 cave games that don't support 240p in tate mode?

I use a tated PVM via RGB, do I even need to patch any other shmups for get 240p in tate mode IE: isn't raiden 3 already 240p while tate mode is selected like the other ps2 shmups?

The mode to select is "NTSC NI to NTSC I Field". I'm not sure if GSM revisions after v.23 support 240p.

I'll source out that version, thanks so much.

Not sure why future revisions of software would "remove" features but whatever.

Thanks,

Not trying to blow you off or anything but here's the official dev forum: http://psx-scene.com/forums/official-gs ... tor-forum/

I tried what I thought were 240p settings in a couple different revisions after .23 and was unsuccessful. GSM's goal is to force games into progressive hi-res.

I will try the version you recommend.

Thanks, got this to work, It looks like Raiden III doesn't output at 240p when in tate mode.

It will with ReKleSS' hack. Such patched ISO's run fine with HDLoader (and who knows maybe OPL).

I found 3D rendered 480i games to look a little funky in 240p. Especially the backgrounds in Raiden III. But the up close flicker is gone, and the bullets and ships look OK.

Hi, I'm using GSM 0.23x with NTSC NI to NTSC I Field option, bit when I run SF2 Hyper Anniversary Edition (original NTSC-J) after the PS2 logo in 240p I get a black screen
Any suggestion?
Thanks
