#Start MultiMAN (e.g. 2.04.07)
::*Since 02.05.07 the PSX and PS2 discs are properly detected. PSX discs will show in XMMB Game Column and you can launch the PS1 game from there. It uses ps1_emu.self.

*In [[XMB]] {{icon category settings}} ⇨ '''[Game Settings]''' ⇨ '''[PS/PS2 Upscaler]''' (added since firmware [[1.80_CEX|1.80]], stored in '''[[XRegistry.sys]]/setting/game/emuUpConvert''')
Note: Some games run better with ps1_emu.self (e.g. Motal Kombat) while others run better with ps1_netemu.self (e.g. Resident Evil 3). If it doesn't work, try another ps1 emulation SELF file.
**'''[Off]''' - Disable upscaled output.
**'''[Normal]''' - Upscale and display at a size that matches the screen size (keep 4:3 aspect ratio)
**'''[Full]''' - Upscale and display at full screen by changing proportions and stretching the image (to widescreen)

Downside: memory card options are unavailable.
**'''[Off]''' - Disable smoothing
**'''[On]''' - Use smoothing to reduce the roughness of the displayed image (note: when titles that support progression scan have this option turned on, they revert back to 480p with no alterations)

=Resolution=
== PS1 Native resolution ==
Games are always 4:3 with any resolution between 704x480 NTSC / 704x576 PAL (the bios initialisation screen) and lower:
* Horizontal: 256 (rare e.g. Dragon Warrior VII), 320, 368 (occasionally 384 e.g. SF Zero 3 but not X-Men vs SF which was shrunk to 368), 512, 576, 600, 640 or 704
* Vertical: 240 (NTSC), 300 (PAL), 480 (NTSC), 576 (PAL)
Tekken 3 uses a strange pixel area of 384x480. Regardless of the screen area, the aspect ratio is still 4:3 for all PlayStation games.
Very common resolutions : 320x224 for NTSC and 320x256 for PAL.

<pre>
The main issue here is that it's mostly not doable to emulate the GS efficiently with the rest
of the hardware because the RSX is just not meant for this task and cannot emulate the GS on
its own while all the available SPUs and the PPU are already mostly fully used to emulate the
rest of the playstation 2 hardware, this explains why sony never could finish the ps2_softemu
and that it reached a stalling step.
 
I honestly have no idea on how it would be possible to get over the ps3 hardware limitations to
perform a full ps2 emulation without any of the ps2 hardware present on the console, one thing
for sure is that the emulator would have to be entirely rewritten and optimized like no other
ps3 software has been.
