That works but it also reverts the ps3 back to factory default settings. You have to go through the resolution settings and stuff again etc. Best way back to the game os is to go to the start menu, Then applications and then boot-game-os.

i mean turn it off completely by the button behind the ps3 and then press it again to turn it on. Then press the touch power button (the normal one) for the two bbebs.

BrabusProductions commented on 22 Jan 2009

press the switch button behind the ps3 and they hold the power button for 5 seconds (2 beebs) and then it should boot into the ps3 system

[How-to] Fix Overscan on Your TV

I demonstrate how to enter the service menu on my Panasonic CRT TV and adjust for overscan. The basics apply to any TV. The procedure tends to be the same ...

Nice video and tv. I recently got my hands on a Sony kv36fv310 with matching stand from ebay. My NES, SNES and N64 all look beautiful. I was just wondering if anyone knows if it is possible to get every game on every system to fit the tv appropriately. For example, I have thin black bars at the top and bottom for banjo kazooie. If I go into the service menu to adjust the overscan, then the texts and icons for other games, say Super Mario 64, gets cut off. Thanks in advanced to anyone who responds.

NeuronsAtWork commented on 18 Apr 2015

+Playongo Thanks for the reply bro.Yeah, after doing some more research about overscan, it seems that some games will have different safe zones and spill over areas as determined by the developers. It's funny, Goldeneye, a Rare title, fills up the entire screen nicely while Banjo Kazooie, also made by Rare, does not.It's not a big deal though, comes with the CRT territory. Lol, one can go crazy trying to get every image perfect. Also, as a kid, I never focused on scanlines and overscan limits, it was all we knew. Now that we have displays with 1:1 pixel mapping, it becomes very obvious on crt's. Best regards.

Playongo commented on 17 Apr 2015

+NeuronsAtWork I'm going to say that I don't think there's a spot that will work for all games. all TV signals should be made with overscan in mind, and provide some additional "spill over" so you never have that issue like you're having with Banjo Kazooie. I think the reality is that it's just going to vary on some games.

Outdated Gamer commented on 22 Mar 2015

Damn! I gotta to try this on my old Sony crt tv, not sure if is possible but i will give it a go, since some games i had that problem specially with 480i games (its a pal tv) Actually i always wonder why this kinda stuff was "hidden" to normal users because every computer crt monitor you could adjust the over scan and such things without using this crazy codes ahah And btw i think people get rid of their crt just because they take a lot space and i kinda understand it , but crt image it's perfect for retro stuff, but i gotta say Scanline filters on pc emulators have become really nice and almost and authentic

Outdated Gamer commented on 24 Mar 2015

Yeah like i said computers crt monitors had that option , Svideo its okay, but we europeans have the master race Scart a.k.a. RGB ahah :D , i still didn't tested because need to find my tv remote tho, and I can't find it which is bad XD

Playongo commented on 24 Mar 2015

+Outdated Gamer Let me know how it goes! I have a video coming up about TVs that you might be interested in too. I'm really glad I've been able to get a couple 20" crt TVs with s-video in. I think it's the best for older games. It is weird that these settings are so hidden, though I guess some of the service settings could wreck the TV, it doesn't seem like the width and height would be a bad thing to encourage users to adjust.

i had similar problem on an LCD, when playing out-of-region games on the wii, (Japanese arcsystem soft games, in particular) , it would overscan and I couldn't see the hp bar and whatnot that's on the top....

Playongo commented on 21 Nov 2014

+DungeonRPG Glad you got something out of this. I think this applies slightly differently to LCDs since the pixels are fixed, but from what I understand they can still overscan, and may have adjustable settings.

Stevaside commented on 20 Nov 2014

Man I've got an issue currently with my flatscreen..Recently I got a wireless keyboard & do pretty much everything online on my TV through HDMI from my laptop now, but no matter what I try the picture doesn't fit the screen all the way there's a black border all around about 1". I was certain it did fit when I 1st started doing it, but I don't know WTH is up lol...I love having all my systems set up on it, I have an 8-way switch box now that i just press the corresponding button for each console instead of disconnecting/reconnecting =)..but I agree most of them weren't meant for HD sets & some, espec Genesis, Super NES & NES look better on CRT...Have you heard about the new HDMI modded NES tho?? Think I read it was coming soon & was supposed to be able to produce a very great quality, I'm looking forward to it & am glad I changed my mind about picking up a composite modded NES 101 right away

Stevaside commented on 21 Nov 2014

+Playongo yea ill have to look into that..After trying numerous settings I read about I got frustrated & gave up ...Awesome to hear that, would still love to see more 7800 vids from you!. I now have all games except for Tank Command & Mean 18..Think I'll hold off for a while trying to pick those up tho..I debated it recently & thought NAH i'll just get my PS4 now...Just got it 2 days ago, currently taking an internet break from Wolfenstein: The New Order haha After all the hype I got Minecraft too...So far just did a little in tutorial mode, but seems I'll have some fun once I start going

Playongo commented on 21 Nov 2014

+Stevaside Wow, HDMI NES mod? That's nuts! As for the PC hooked up to a modern TV, if you can find the native resolution of your TV and can set the PC to the same resolution, I'd expect the image to appear with no border. Not sure if that's a possibility for you or not. FYI: Speaking of mods, I was playing with my s-video modded 7800 and I think it's working for capture again. I'm able to balance the audio much better so I may do a 7800 video here sometime soon.
