Here's one that'll throw people for a confusing loop. Disney's Stitch: Experiment 626 only runs in 240p via RGB or component out. All in-game action and menu screens are purely in 240p. So there's a little-heard-of title to add to the roster.

There are also quite a few Japanese shooters that run in 240p in tate mode.

Plus, any game that can be forced to 480p through GSM can also be forced into 240p. So for low res games that normally run at 480i, like Mushihimesama, that's a nice option.

Added Disney's Stitch - Experiment 626 to the list. I wonder if this was originally supposed to be a PS1 game? It definitely looks like it. Maybe that explains why it's 240p?

I know several games can be patched but I'm only counting games that natively output 240p.

Gunstar Heroes Treasure Box (J)
this one doesn't require any patching. It supports 240p natively (as well as 480i and 480p).

The other low res Sega Ages 2500 titles from Vol. 20 onwards all support native 240p as well.

Vol. 20 Space Harrier II Collection
Vol. 21 SDI & Quartet
Vol. 25 Gunstar Treasure Box (as mentioned above)
Vol. 29 Monsterworld Collection
Vol. 30 Galaxy Force II
Vol. 32 Phantasy Star Complete Collection
Vol. 33 Fantasy Zone Complete Collection

And probably this one as well, although I haven't tried it on Vol. 23

Vol. 23 Sega Memorial Selection

Fu'un Super Combo also runs in 240p. Maybe add the Japanese titles to the first post as well?

This sadly doesn't look very good patched to 240p, it's impossible to get 1:1 scaling.

And half the games you posted aren't low-res to begin with. Odin Sphere, for example, has ~640x480 visuals, halving that to 240p should be a crime.

Wait has Ico always been 240p? Is that why it looks so bad on my plasma (no 240p support)?

Does 240p take fewer system resources or did they just prefer progressive and couldn't hit 480p?

The aspect ratio appears to be off as well for Capcom Classics Collection 2. Or at least it is with some games like Captain Commando.

Yes ICO is indeed 240p. I forget the reason why though. It was either because of the art style or that it was originally planed to be a PS1 game.

I believe games were developed in 240p because they were easier to program.

And ICO was a pretty early PS2 game, so maybe they didn't understand the hardware well enough to hit that level of graphical complexity at 480i

Not if you are a scanline addict! :D :D I just want to play as many games in 240p as possible. In this case it gives Odin a very nice retro look. LOL Besides, it's great to have a choice. :P 8)

Internally, ICO actually renders in 480p; the game's 240p output is that downsampled (therefore the nice anti aliasing). As far as I can remember the same goes for Shadow of Memories/Destiny, although the result doesn't look that nice (I guess ICO's bloom helps).

Yeah, I don't think those 240p patched games look correct. It's just resampling iirc. (Scaling)

I'm more interested in a definitive list of 240p games that do it out of the box, correctly. Especially 2D games.

IIRC, games like the 2D Tales of , and the Atelier games run all at 480i for example. Which is a shame.

I have no idea why Stitch was in 240p. All I know was testing it on my Playstation 3D Display, it registered 720x240.

It's been a while, but I definitely successfully patched Garou and KOF XI to boot and run in 240p. Just extract the ISO to your PC, use a hex editor to patch the neccessary bytes, re-burn an have fun.

The number of bytes you need to change varies from game to game. Maybe you just changed some early bytes and forgot some deeper into the file ?

unless you've forgotten to patch some of the bytes, there's nothing else to it. I don't remember how many bytes Garou and KOFXI require to be patched, but I've done nothing else. Ripped the discs, patched them using a hex editor and re-burned them. I'll have to check if I still got the original ISOs, so I might be able to compare the images.

It's easier to just tell me the name of the title rather than say "this game and the series run in 240p" also whether or not it's confirmed or unconfirmed. The region helps to as that sometimes makes a difference.

I'm keeping the list native 240p. No patches. :mrgreen:

The list would be easier to go through if it was divided into regions, IMO.
