Progressive Scan Questions


Recommended Posts

Does anyone know which games on the game cube support progressive scan and does it really make a difference over the s-video connection, and how do you enable this video mode is it automatic or do you have to do something to activate it, sorry for dumb questions but I am new to GC and want to get the most out of it.

Wind Waker, Rogue Squadron 2 and Metroid Prime (I think) are a few that support it.

S-video connection does not apply to progressive scan, it's a different video connection entirely.

Activate it by holding the B button when turning on the Gamecube, but you need to have the cable for it plugged in.

Over at the IGN Boards there's a post about this, it's insider only though. (the board is)

I'm sure it won't matter if I post it here, but obviously, I won't be constantly updating it like they are.

Format:

Title / Memory card info / Progressive Scan? / 16:9? / Dolby Pro Logic II? / GBA/GCN linkup? / PAL 60Hz mode?

* indicates a GameCube exclusive title.

* - exclusive features in the GameCube version

Well, progressive scan, as far as DVD players go, is a way of reading a dvd to give you much better picture quality. If you have a bigscreen, you would see the best possible picture using a dvd player with progressive scan(The technicalities of it are the fact that instead of interlacing two different images, as most non-pro dvd players do, a progressive scan dvd player will go line by line to create a good picture....thats sorta what it does....)

Is it the same for the consoles?
