GT4 and 1080i or high res

[ivegota16v]

Ok OK!

how do you get the playstation to do this!! i have the component cable, its is outputting correctly

but in GT4 there is no menu to select 1080i, or HD or anything!

can someone do a step by step guide, ie do i have to have it in widescreen etc (in the setup before boot big!)

thanks

The PS2 can't produce an HD output. You'll have to wait for the PS3.

To my (somewhat limited) knowledge 480p stands for 480 progressive scan. Look here for a description.
1080i is a HDTV standard. Look here for a decription.

I too was greatly impressed with GT4 at 1080i. But as I live in the UK I had to import a US PS2 and US GT4 to see the game play in 1080i and 480p. The UK PAL version does'nt have these options.
GT4 looks pretty decent in 480p too but 1080i is best. A great pic on my DLP!
Oh, I don't know if anyone knew this but the Xbox in Europe does'nt have progressive scan. It was disabled for some reason."

its not the game that produces the HD, its the output on the consol.

You could just buy a scaler or the latest Denon AVR home cinema amp which upscales the video to 720p or 1080i

All you need is the component lead for the PS2, and an NTSC version of the game.
I run it in HD mode on my projector, looks very crisp.

Same with the Xbox, but that had to have the eeprom settings changed to make it think its not from the UK as they didn't want us having them options.
