I'm thinking of getting a PS2 to HDMI adapter from Amazon or Ebay. I have a 1080p HDMI monitor, and I wanted to play my PS2 in 720p or 1080i using the OPL GSM build.
My only question is: do the adapters listed on Amazon and Ebay have support for these video modes? Because everywhere I check it says they support 576i/480i/480p, but don't advertise support for other resolutions.

Here's an example of the adapter I'm referring to:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/SODIAL-HDV...F8&qid=1550268986&sr=8-8&keywords=ps2+to+hdmi

Does anyone know of an adapter that supports all the PS2's video modes (that ship to the UK)? I don't want to have to get the more expensive component to HDMI converter.

You kinda answered it yourself: the target audience of these cheap dedicated converters is people who went all in on a display (probably chosen on the basis of "most megapixels") and don't have the right inputs, rather than being a comprehensive video conversion tool; and given that only 5 games officially support other scan rates (with the most famous, GT4, being upscaled in the first place...)

Depending on your console's model, you could probably mod it for VGA output, and use a cheap VGA to HDMI converter (though I can't vouch on their reliability/input compatibility/lag, and you would still be limited by GSM's compatibility)

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    but that's a long shot

    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.
  • AncientBoi @ AncientBoi:
    I don't pirate them, I Use Them :mellow:. Like I do @BigOnYa 's couch :tpi::evil::rofl2:

    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
