Hacking Force 480p on PAL PS3 Slim via CFW?

[moonblood666]

So I have a PAL PS3 Slim with the most current Rebug CFW. For PS2 games I'd like to set the image output of the console to 480p (I'm using a mcable which upscales 480p perfectly so I don't want the PS3 to upscale the image to 720p), but PAL consoles only have 576i/p image output as the lowest parameter. Can I somehow force 480p image output via CFW?

You can indeed convert your console from PAL to NTSC and that will influence the resolution/vertical frequency in "standard" mode by editing the registry (http://psx-scene.com/forums/f149/sw...-576i-p-50hz-ntsc-480p-60hz-84169/#post786615) - though I don't remember how exactly I did it, or if it affects progressive/digital output (I only use analog RGB cables and was fed up with blurry 60-to-50 conversions)

Is this safe:

/setting/system/region (change this from 0 to 1) your console now plays games in ntsc 60hz.
/setting/bddvd/dvdRegionCode (change from 2 to 1) should allow ntsc dvds
/setting/bddvd/bdRegionCode (change from 2 to 1) should allow ntsc bluerays.
/setting/display/tvSystem (change from 1 to 0) makes xmb display in ntsc 60hz 480.
this should allow you to completely convert your pal system to ntsc within minutes. the only way to tell you have a pal is by looking at the console!

I just don't want to break anything by changing any registry files.

I think I only changed tvSystem and that was enough (or maybe the first one too, definitely not the bluray/dvd movie region as I don't own any - and you can change those in webman full version anyway)

How do I do this in webMAN? So I can set the PS3 output to 480p on a PAL console?

No, only the movie regions (the middle two ones of the 4 settings you posted), which don't influence video output per se

OK, I guess I'll need to look into the registry change thing then. Still a bit afraid of bricking the system tbh.

That site is down. Does anyone know the name of the file to edit?
