Xploder to blow up PS2 games to HD resolution -
August 1st, 2006, 08:22 PM
Why spend 600 quid PS3 when you can pump out HD-resolution pictures from your old PS2 for a fraction of the price? That's the question Xploder.net asked today after announcing an HD upscaler product for Sony's current but soon to be displaced top-of-the-range console.
Dubbed the HDTV Game Player, the gadget coverts the PS2's output into 720p or 1080i. The Game Player hooks up to your HD TV using an RGB component-video cable. Xploder said the device will provide "crystal clear picture quality... for all PS2 games". It'll also improve the image quality of games played on regular-resolution TVs, the company claimed. Xploder will offer both PAL and NTSC versions of the HDTV Game Player. It will also output via a regular VGA cable to a computer monitor. PS2 users select the resolution they want on the console - the choices are saved to memory card. http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2006/08..._hdtv_adaptor/

Bah bullshit, I need to code a quick program to upscale peoples 64kb mp3s' into 256kb mp3s' You cannot add what is not there. When upscaling non native low resolutions the picture quality looks very sparse with a lack of color density.

Unlike the ps3 this can actually do 1080i, maybe sony should just put one of these in every ps3.

If you have a decent TV it should be no problem converting 1080P into a 1080i signal, it is the otherway around that causes problems.
