Won't really help that much

Upscaling will help a little, but the problem is that the source material is still 480i, and isn't in some scalable format. So all it's really going to do, is blow up the image to 720p or 1080i/p.

It might smooth out a few edges here and there, but don't expect any dramatic improvements in quality.

Upscaling

You may have less jagged edges and such with the upscaling, but don't expect miracles. It does make it look nicer IMO though, better than playing it on PS2.
