No dude, they can just wrap their laptops in copper and melt some forks together to stuff into the DVD tray and every instance of PS3 will magically change to SPS3.

I don't play any PS2 games on the PS3 sad to say, I have a launch PS2 that outputs 480i running through a Faroudja Native Rate Scaler to upconvert the image in an RGB colorspace set to SD CIE standards at 1024x768.onQ123 said:
I cannot say if the enhancements have even come close to the clarity I get with the original PS2 and the scaler, I will get back to you on it.

Only if you're wearing 3D glasses, which you can make with some bubble gum and a paper clip.soultron said:
You do not seem to know how a GPU actually works, nor the concept of how a settings file works.
A GPU is a digital component. It works, or it doesn't. Now, since a GPU is complex, it can be broken in a way that it still partially work, but this won't do things like reduce draw distance or make the textures smaller, it will cause random pixels to flicker, and shadows and lighting to break. At the very best, your setup may have reduced running temperature of the CPU and GPU. This though does not effect performance though, it effects stability and the parts life.
Also, console games these days still make use of Setting Files, similar to PC games. Except for a console, the setting file is read only, and not able to be adjusted by the user, or to be automatically reconfigured. The reason console games make use of setting files is to try and find the setup that gives a preferred performance to graphical fidelity ratio.

Corky said:This solution of mine keeps the ps3 much cooler, a result of better airflow. My horizontal res just got 200 lines of pixels added to it from this method. Though the pixelpipelines from the vertical shaders won't comply, thinking of using a copper alloy for the blu-ray laser head, ( yeah yeah I heard of the 3X Elevens being more prone to failing because of this ).
Thats how it starts my good man!

The truly amazing part about this thread is that it isn't front-page news on Kotaku yet.

I know. They're slacking. This load of BS should have been top story there early this morning and yet still not there.

I am in no way claiming anything or even begin to articulate the base structure of the GPU.I am however sharing with you what i physicaly did to my PS3 and the effects it had and showing my results through a digital camera off my plasma.Drkirby said:
It is right there in color do you see the draw distance or not!

Never change GAF. I will send this thread to the engineers.

I will grab my SD card tonight and find more shots I took of GOW III and Uncharted.sajj316 said:
thank you for your support.
I will aim to be more prepared in the days to come.

Look L. Ron Hubbard, if that is your real name, if you can prove this I will gladly buy the Battlefield Earth collectors BluRay and watch it with improved draw-distance, but I won't be holding my breath.

Well, the mods haven't closed the thread yet so I guess the guy is legit, right?

No, I plan too.railGUN said:
My cellphone is open, We have just moved and I should have the theater set up by monday. If not I will use the old ones. Listen, I have been working on this while you guys were still pumped to play Resistance at 1366x768.
I am not going anywhere this is what it is. Kotaku or not I have done the work and taken pictures drive the first cocksucker to my house and I will open his gawd-ammned eyes too!
Cookie cutter my ass, I eat cookies for breakfast!

Very curious to see this as well, GAF is so mean with the guy, I highly doubt that rhubbard would write all of these details, which are clearly very technical, if he was full of shit, I mean, why would he just do this so methodically?!
I say, let's cut him some slack, he could be right, who knows?!

This thread has a somewhat Lynch-ian vibe to it.

Jesus fucking Christ. I can write a highly technical explanation of how I am able to fly but if it still defies the laws of physics then it's bullshit.
Edit: and as for why he'd do it I would assume that, like a lot of people who have the vaguest notion that they've just been conned, he is doing this to try to convince himself that he wasn't taken for a ride.

Funny guy, I started out plating and mig welding but I could not get the vents right. I have since used EMI and RFI spray coating in layers from MG Chemicals. Copper sheets are what I use to partition the componentry and then coat in rubber also a spray.androvsky said:
I will get more shots up later, like I said we have moved. I think I can upload to Flickr through my iphone and then attach to GAF tonight.
