Nope. Remember I'm more into sedate RPGs, as befits a gentleman deity of my maturity

U-HU!! Try Persona 2 then. I think the batle backgrounds uses g-shade dithering.

Wait a minute - I do have a copy of Silent Hill - the PAL version, SLES-01514. However, it'll need to be somewhere near the start - I didn't like the game much and never played into it... Edit: Right, here's some images from the start of the game: During the intro, after he gets out of the wrecked car: Playstation: pSX version 1.13: After the intro finishes, just when you've gained control: Playstation: pSX version 1.13: AIR a while ago someone was posting about how the blurring, mainly round the hands, in the running bit in the intro worked differently in pSX to a Playstation; not actually what the topic is, but I thought people might be interested to see the comparison: Playstation: pSX version 1.13: Note that these images are not quite comparable: the size of the Playstation images is 720 x 576 pixels, while the pSX ones are 320 x 240 pixels. You'll need to download the images and scale the pSX ones up to see the comparison. I graciously give you permission. Hope this confuses everyone still further!

You have redeemed yourself patrick. It certainly is interesting to compare the shots.

Great shots Patrick, thumbs up.
Couldn't you have set pSX to run at 720x576?
Or is that not possible in the Linux version?
Or maybe that would distort the image.

No, there are no options to change the resolution in Linux, Sune.

Pff... score 1 for the Windows version... XD.
It is interesting to see the differences though.

Are you criticising Mr Author, GM? Beware, for his thunderbolts are bigger and sharper than mine even if he doesn't use them as often - if at all...

Well afaik there isn't an easy way to change screen resolution in Linux. OpenGL apps always run in a window - there is nothing like Direct3D full screen mode... so to change resolution it would need to actually change the desktop resolution which wouldn't be very nice!.
In "full screen mode" pSX just stretches the window over the whole screen in Linux.

Ah! A system screen shot saves as my desktop size, pSX Author, 1600 x 1200.

Nice shots there - what brand of capture card is it?
I have a BT848 card, with possibly a hardware MPEG encoder or something just as lossy on the chip (as mentioned before). I use the normal AV cables with the PlayStation, but it is really blurred out on the screen. There is also the standard composite video interference going through the screen but it's not that causing the problems / blurred picture with the nasty loss of red caused by bad MPEG/JPEG compression.

It's a Hauppauge ImpactVCB card, model 558, Hei. Works fine in Windows and Linux: no tuner; but then I'm on cable and don't want one. AFAIK all the ImpactVCB cards use the Conexant 878A chip. There's no hardware encoding but, as you say, it's a nice card, and it works on installation with the video4linux driver in Linux.
