Anyway to force higher resolution using Free MC Boot?

[relik1989]

I finally got my hands on a used PS2 and I'm a bit new to PS2 modding. I do not know anyone with a modded PS2 for me to be able to install from so I have a momor32 on the way so I can install Free MC Boot that way. Once I have Free MC Boot up and running is there anyway for me to force my PS2 games to play at higher resolutions so I can get a cleaner signal through my component cables to my HD tv? I see there is a boot disk called "Xploder HDTV Player" and for allot of games it really does look sharper, but is there any mod that I could just install for free to my memorycard that would allow me the same functions?

EDIT: I'm still searching around and I found a .elf file of the Xploder HDTV Player, is that of any use to me? can it be installed into or launched from FMCB? I also plan on using HD Loader aswell if that makes any difference.

Games on the PS2 are pretty much running at the highest resolution they can given the hardware. Otherwise developers would take advantage of the unused power. I think there are a few games that run at 720p, but i may be thinking of XBox 1 games.

The Playstation 2 supports up to 16-bit 1080I out of the box, and can be programmed for 1080P graphics.

Try GSM here instead of Xploder, as Xploder isn't free: http://psx-scene.com/forums/f19/gs-m...eedback-61808/

However, please take note that there is no real advantage of making your games output video at any resolution above 480P, as the resolution of the frame buffers used by many games is meant for PAL or NTSC screens (Around 640x448).

A handful of games were programmed to support 480P out of the box, but most of them have this option as a hidden option that is accessible by holding TRIANGLE and CROSS just after the Playstation 2 logo plays.

So far, I've only come across one game that supported 720P or 1080I out of the box, and that was the Japanese edition of Valkyrie Profile 2.... but it doesn't seem like the developers used HD textures and models.

I actually ran across GSM in my search last night. Could anyone post a link to a tutorial on how to install it? Like I said I am very new to PS2 Modding, Ive done some crazy stuff with the original Xbox, but have never modded the PS2. Also Just to verify, will this work in conjunction with HD Loader?

I appreciate all the help, cant wait to get all this up and running!
