PS1 games that switch between 240p and 480i ?

Post by wyvernshill »

Lo,

Can anyone tell me what games switch between 240p and 480i for for example the menu's ?
I'm using a framemeister and i'm starting to buy a few games for the ps1 but i read it causes problems with syncing.

So is there a list somewhere with known games that switch between resolutions like for instance symphoby of the night ?

The games i want to buy are among others : (Everything NTSC)

Suikoden 1 & 2
Legend Of Mana.
Final Fantasy 9

Thanks.

Off the top of my head:

Einhander (between gameplay and config/gallery/ending credits)
Tobal No. 1 (between gameplay and FMV)
Tobal 2 (between gameplay and FMV)

Chrono Cross (interestingly, real-time 3D models are viewed in high-res on the character screen). Since the game's got some of the highest-poly models to grace PSX, it's a nice bit of service.

There's a handful of screens in Omega Boost that are drawn at 480i.
Come check out my website, I guess. Random stuff I've worked on over the last two decades.

Does anyone know of any more Ps1 games that do this?
The games listed in this thread are good to know about, but are there others?
Three I'd specifically like to know about are Final Fantasy VII, VIII, and IX. Are the menu screens or any of the cut scenes 480i?
