PLEASE READ:
Why does displaying PSP games on TV suck? Because it makes the game screen smaller than the screen of your PSP's menu screen being displayed on the TV.
I compare screen size ratios. Unfortunately, the game screen size is the same for both screen ratios for some odd reason. The PSP's menu screen fits perfectly around the TV video. Why can't the game's screen be shown like that size? Instead, it HAS to be small.

Someone has requested me to post the story boards of the NEW characters exclusive to Street Fighter Alpha 3 MAX (Eagle, Maki, Yun, Ingrid). THIS video is a test, and shows why I am not motivated to do this. The game screen is just as small when using a capture device, it's STILL hard to read in these videos.

  • shit

  • you can't blame sony for that. the psp renders games at 480 x 272, if it renders in higher resolution you get slow down, simple as that. the title screen uses almost no power to render so i figure they just let people have that in full screen as well as movies. it's just games, because they want a good product that isn't slow. though i do think they should have added a stretched mode at least, that wouldn't take too much effort. my tv can stretch it to full screen anyway though so i don't mind.

see all

  • Blame sony, those bastards..

  • @scaryred24 Correction. RGB can run higher than 1080p only on PCs. It doesn't sharpen the image well like DVI. My bad.

  • PSPs are not very good upscaling since the screen is 320x240 and can play 480x360 with the video cropped at NSTC standard of 480p. Looks better on 4:3 in menu vs 16:9 in SD. They sell external upscale units out there somewhere. Quality should not be stretched-out or blocky. It doesn't need to be sharpened on a HDTV unless you get an upscale unit with that. Just remember:

    AVI (RCA)/S-video: 480i

    CVI(Componet)/RGB: 480p - 1080p

    HDMI/DVI: (480p) 720p - 3660p (4400p if its IMAX UHDTV *ZOMG*)

  • Cropping the video and blowing it up makes it look like puke. I normally layer it inside a png image of a psp so it looks like it's playing on the psp and then i use a gradient background. However not everyone knows how to do that.

  • The answer is easy sony doesn't want to hurt psp 1000 consumer !

  • how do you do that i wanna do that with my psp 2000 but a screen saying a bunch of crap pops up somebody help

  • you suck more.. bitch!

  • Wow stop bitching at least they have the option to play on a tv, and if it sucks so much then go back to staring at that tiny little piece of shit screen.
