Using the products of the PlayStation 2 emulation and homebrew scene, many games that don't directly offer a widescreen mode can be patched to use a true 16:9 aspect ratio. As with progressive mode, widescreen mode can also be forced. Īt the PS2 internal System Configuration menu, the Screen Size option allows for a 4:3 or 16:9 (widescreen) display, however, most games do not poll this option for enabling widescreen, relying on internal options instead. The use of these can give mixed results due to certain performance-enhancing methods used by developers.
If a game doesn't feature a 480p mode itself, this and other progressive video modes can often be forced by using the commercial software Xploder HDTV player or the free Homebrew software GS Mode Selector (GSM). While a (SCART) cable wired for RGB does work, the console switches sync to RGsB (sync-on-green) on 480p and higher this sync setup differs from the standard VGA RGBHV and will only display on certain compatible monitors. Note that not all games from PAL territories support progressive scan mode 480p even if their NTSC U/C counterparts do.Ĭomponent video cables are intended for the ED and HD modes, with the color space being set to YPbPr in the system settings. When progressive mode is enabled on PAL (576i) games, the resolution is 480p, not 576p. Both methods work on a backward compatible PlayStation 3 as well.
Many games only offer progressive scan through this method, offering no related options in the game's options menu. When this is done, the game will typically load a screen with instructions on how to enable progressive scan. Generally, progressive scan mode is activated by holding the △ and ×, buttons down after the PlayStation 2 logo appears. The following is a list of PlayStation 2 games with support for HDTVs and EDTVs as well as the games that have a 16:9 widescreen mode. Progressive scan is intended for use with component cables.
