TV output

[canieaturchikn]

don't have the game yet. but i was wondering if you can connect the psp to your tv and play on the tv. For those of you who do. Have you tried it and is the resolution/graphics better or worse than on the psp?

 

[J-PaP]

The resolution doesn't change when you output to tv. So imagine the psp scren streched out to the size of your tv. It looks worse as a result.

Anyhow tried it and it does work. If you have a psp 1000 you can't output to tv though.

yup it works, there's a video output option in the gtpsp options. i've tried it on my psp-2000 and it works.

I just took a quick vid of it connected to my tv. It looks better in person then on video!

Am I right in saying that game output only works on component (Red, Green, Blue + R+L Audio) cables? I read somewhere that the composite (yellow video and R+L Audio) output cable can't display games.

To my knowledge this is correct... I have the composite cable and I cant play games on my TV...

That's what I thought. My recorder thingy can't take a component input and needs composite. Need new recorder...

When my game eventually arrives I'll be playing it on my PC through my S-Video Capture Card. makes for good screenshots

i also ONLY recommend by using a S-Video capture card, because the resolution of psp is very low (~480x272).

What cable do you use to go from the PSP to the S-video socket?

This is what I got. a definate 10/10.

Also, if you've never hooked up your psp to a tv, the video doesn't take up the entire screen of the tv (not sure if the same for capture cards). I want to say your psp will be displayed on 4/5 of your tv and have a black box around it. In regards to gran turismo on psp, I did notice that when set to PSP on the video output it's a tad fuzzy, but when you output with the game set to 'external video' it makes the picture crisper.

Can you see the game displayed on both the PSP and the TV, or is it displayed on TV only?

The PSP screen get's blacked out and is on TV only.

With capture card the PSP tries to keep a 480x272 res so you get a black box around it.
