? For those with a PS3 and Einhander and R-Type Delta

I was wondering how the filters have improved these two old classics? I always use the smooth setting on my PS2, and it helps, but really, they need a little more help. How does the PS3 affect them? Any screenshots?

I tried R-Type Delta and I think it looks worse on the PS3. I'm trying it on a 40" Sony 1080p set and to me, it looks worse than on a standard TV with a standard PS1 or 2. I've tried it on all the different settings and none look any good. Am I doing something wrong or is this really how bad PS1 games look on a PS3? If I can find Einhander, I'll pop that in later for ya.

No, they don't look any better. The PS1 games are internally rendered in low-res and then upscaled via the PS3's hardware. The available smoothing filter looks horrible.

BUT (big BUT) without any filters, the upscaled picture is extremely sharp, since the PS1 games run on a software emulation. Depending on your likes and dislikes, the picture is sharper than it will ever be using a real PS1 or PS2 connected via any analogue signal. If you like the looks of emulators with their "hard" scaling you'll like PS1 games on the PS3 as well.

It's definitely not everybody's thing though...

The upscaling looks really good on my screen actually (hard emulation, no filtering, 720p/1080i plasma). Obviously not CRT quality but the best PS1/2 picture I've seen on my HDTV.

Delta looks great to me, only 600 yen too. Has einhander been added to the download service yet?
