I just got a copy of Laura Croft and noticed right at the start of the game you get widescreen options and progressive mode settings. Of course I had to try 'em out and no workie. I have the PS2 connected via S-video.
I presume I need it connected via component in order to get progressive scan output to work.
Is this true?
