i'll be perfectly honest - i haven't. but i played through a few fights and different attacks and nothing out of the ordinary happened. there is definitely something off with this game otherwise there wouldn't be that speedup when using gsm.ZellSF wrote:Have you played through a lot of the game? I found Persona 4 pretty playable in 480p too, until some pretty severe framerate drops occurred here and there. Which was weird because there really shouldn't be a performance drop just by enabling 480p.persona 3 fes ntsc-u (yoko) 480i :
hdxploder - works and looks perfectly. playable as hell.
gsm - plays double speed. unplayable.
every other game i tried with gsm/xploder works in 4:3 on my tv besides odin sphere and zoet 2. in both these games i have to change my tv to 16:9 to make it look senseful.ZellSF wrote:Huh? I played Odin Sphere in 480p via GSM a bit, and while aspect ratio might have been a bit incorrect, horizontally smaller than vertically? Don't think that happened here. I'll test later.odin sphere ntsc-u (yoko) 480i :
hdxploder - works but is very squashed on the longer side. even setting 16:9 on my tv it's horizontally smaller than vertically. unplayable.
gsm - basically the same.
until today i was pretty convinced that this makes the picture much more off from the original, so i took my scale out and started to measure. my tv has 50cm height of the screen. so at a 1,33 ratio ot should have 66-67cm width to maintain a 4:3 ratio. all the working games i posted above have a width of 64 cm, interlace and progressive. i assume this is due to the ps2 underscanning. that gives a 1,28 ratio. now odin and zoet2 on 16:9 have a width of 68,5cm which gives a 1,37 ratio. now comparing 1,33 and 1,28 and 1,37 you can come to the conclusion that the latter is just 4% off and is more accurate than the former which is 5% off.
bottom line is that there is no need to be anal about this as none of the possible solutions will give me a 100 % accurately sized picture.
still just out of curiosity i would like to know why these two games in particular do this kind of thing. at least on my setup.
