could this work to improve the graphics in ps3 ffxi?
Ok, I was just wondering. FFXI stores all files in the hard drive for both ps2 and ps3. The same occurs in the XBOX 360 version. I wonder if the XBOX 360 graphic files which are already in 720p could be extracted and converted to a format that the PS3 can use. I think this way it could maybe display the graphics as high def for FFXI on PS3.

Let me know what you think or if you have seen anything like this done. I have been looknig and found nothing online.

I'm afraid that'll be impossible. as PS3 won't even begin to recongnize the xbox360 files, or even be copied over. even if it was successfully copied over, there would be problems with xbox360 and ps3 game coded differently, so it wouldn't even run at all.

Re: could this work to improve the graphics in ps3 ffxi?
Indeed, the way the game is programmed and installed onto the HDD goes well beyond your understanding based on the way it's done in the PC version. It doesn't exactly work in such a way as allowing you to simply cut and paste textures and models here and there. It's programmed as a PS2 game, and even if such a thing were theoretically possible, it would not have sufficient memory to display such HD resources.

The only hope of playing the game in any higher quality than PS2 would be using an HDTV to upscale the game to 720p, 1080i or 1080p using a 60GB or 80GB PS3.

Re: could this work to improve the graphics in ps3 ffxi?
Hmm... yeah, that is what I have read. To my understanding, the PS3 do not upscale the image, they just display it as a 480i image. This looks quite bad on a Big screen HDTV.

The sad part is that even if the PS3 could upscale PS2 games, the graphics are not made in high resolution like the XBOX 360 graphics.

Hmmm... so if the PS2 file structure is way different to the PC file structure then I wouldnt even think of trying to mod this.

Ok so the enxt round, can the PC game be run in Linux? Maybe loading the game in the PS3 as linux would prove successful. Pelase post your input or opinions on the matter.

The PS3 does upscale PS2 graphics to 1080p. They still look somewhat blurry though, and I have no idea if the PS2 version has support for a widescreen resolution.

As for the Linux question, access to the graphical processor is locked out while running under Linux for some reason from what I've heard. So, even if you could by some feat get it running in Linux, it would run like crap.

Re: could this work to improve the graphics in ps3 ffxi?
Question:

Before I broke my HDD in my PS2, I played FF on PS2 for years. I've been playing on one of those little mini TV's with the VCR attached to the bottom, simply because the graphics are much smoother, brighter and overall nicer on that television, rather than on my big HD, flat screen plasma. When I put it on that TV, the graphics and the resolution suck ASS. I don't get how a better/nicer/newer TV can look much worse than the little old TV. When I play my Wii on the plasma, the graphics are nice and smooth and look nothing like FF looks on it...what's up with that? =/

Re: could this work to improve the graphics in ps3 ffxi?
It's because you are stretching the image...

Imagine a 640x480 image... It looks decent on a 15" monitor if you made it fullscreen, not take that same image and full screen it on a 22" monitor... you'll see distortion etc

So basically the crappy resolution of the PS2 looks better on a 13" tv over a (lets say a) 42" is because it doesn't have to "stretch to fit" a small "image" over a larger screen. And Wii is made for better TVs over FFXI was.

Hope that clears it up for you some.

Re: could this work to improve the graphics in ps3 ffxi?
I use the PS3 copy of the game only as a backup cause yes it looks blurry no matter how much I fiddle with size and shape. Do not know all the specifications things but i have it on all the machines and I personally think the best is 360' on HDTV. One good thing with PS3 and hehe I am sure you all might not agree is that its on that "next gen" ps3 machine you can still play Tetra Master. They for some reason left it off the HD version for 360'.
