hi all,
last night me and my buddy felt like playing Marvel: Ultimate Alliance realll bad and it was late so we only had the ps2 version that we bought before we had our ps3's. this was the first time we popped a ps2 game in the ps3 and im not gonna lie... it looked a lot worse than it originally did on ps2. has anyone else noticed this? or are we doing something wrong?

The PS2 games I've upscaled on my PS3 always looked quite a bit better than usual... I have the 60 gig PS3 with the hardware backwards compatibility. Do you have the 80 gig with the software emulation? Because I heard that's not as good for older games.

How do you currently have Settings > Game Settings set?

Assuming you're using an HDTV:

PS/PS2 Upscaler should be 'Normal' for 4:3 games, 'Full Screen' for 16:9 set games.
PS/PS2 Smoothing really depends on the game.

When you played the game on PS2, were you using the same TV or a standard def CRT?

PS/PS2 Upsaler was on normal
PS/PS2 Smoothing was on
With latest software 1.93

The game looked bad.
We messed with analog/digital singals and it helped a bit, but still looked worse than PS2.

Yea on HDTV

We tried it again and it was still terrible. I even tried changing games.

orignally the ps1 and ps2 games looked crappy on the ps3. Alot of jaggies. One of the firmware updates fixed this issue quite a while back Make sure you have the latest firmware patch.
