Unfortunately, on flat-screens, this can cause a delay, which means when you leave the menu in Silent Hill, you’ll probably start being killed by zombies before your TV finishes switching back to 240p. On a CRT, this made no difference at all – Since both resolutions are 15KHz, your CRT TV (or RGB monitor) sees the resolutions as the same and the switching is so fast that you might not even realize there’s a difference.

Also, some games are 100% 480i, meaning the resolution never changes.Ī few games such as Silent Hill, Dino Crisis and Chrono Cross have gameplay that’s 240p, but when you enter a menu, it switches to 480i. This is almost never an issue, as even though there might be a 5-10 second delay for flat-screens to change resolutions after leaving the main menu, the TV will often recover before the game is even done loading. Many games have title screens in 480i, but gameplay and the pause menu’s are all 240p. There are two common scenarios in which you’ll see both resolutions used: Some games mix the two resolutions, which can cause problems with capture cards and flat-screen TV’s, as digital solutions need to “re-sync” when resolutions change. A few PlayStation games run at an interlaced 640×480 resolution called 480i. If just your display (not your switch) requires csync, then order the cable without a sync stripper and get a switch like the gscartsw that has high quality sync regeneration built in.Īlmost all PlayStation games output a progressive scan resolution that’s nicknamed 240p. Either way, if your switch (such as an Extron Crosspoint) requires csync, you’ll either need to order a cable with a sync stripper. I suggest using luma as sync to reduce interference found in cables that use composite video as sync. PS1 consoles all output 240p, so using an RGB cable will get you the best picture.
