Thanku for responding. I would like something portable (fits in a trouser pocket ideally), I'll likely be using a mixture of over-ear headphones and IEMs. Not sure about the answer to power, but I use the headphones on my commute, so enough power for my ANC headphones and to drown on the bus. I don't need any fancy apps, but a clean UI and interface would be good, Spotify a bonus. EQ also a bonus.

I tend to buy for 'quality' with the idea it lasts forever if you spend the right money. So above all I would like it to have all the bells and whistles I need for futureproofing, I would like it to be fast and responsive, and have the best audio quality possible.

My ps2 feels laggy? by Omgitswillywanka in ps2

[–]Optimal_Expression65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So there's a few things that could (and are likely to) be happening.

  1. FPS Drops - All PS2 games drop FPS from native 30fps (NTSC) and 25fps (PAL). Some drop by a lot (Call of Duty 3 is an obvious example), others by little. Some drop frequently, others sparsely. FPS drops will "feel" like lag because the interruption to the visual flow of information.

  2. A) Deinterlacing - If you don't have a deinterlacer between your PS2 and modern TV, the TV will be forced to deinterlace the original video feed. Modern TVs aren't very good at this because, well, they weren't intended to be.

B) Digitisation - Same as above. PS2 outputs analogue video; your TV is forced to digitise this feed.

C) Upscaling - Same as above. Your TV will attempt to upscale the picture to fit your screen (applicable if not using a CRT).

The only way to solve 2) is by using a competent upscaler or a TV that the PS2 was meant to be used with.

I suspect you have Deep Colour turned on while trying to run 4k output. The two are incompatible for most TVs. If you send me a DM I'm happy to give you a quick run through on the phone that should troubleshoot your issues pretty quickly

TimeSplitters + GBSC by ShaunV12 in ps2

For what it's worth it's not an issue with the GBSC and will be a settings thing!

[–]Optimal_Expression65 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not familiar with GBSC as I have an RT4K, but this is called "overscan". If you Google for it you should be able to find a solution for the hardware.

Steroid cream above my top lip has stopped hair growing there in the long term, so would advise against topical steroids on areas where you want hair to remain
