Could you please tell us if the graphics settings Type A uses true low-res display? Sounds as if it does (since you say that filters only benefit Types B and C), what would be extremely surprising to me; the only other SNK game for the PS2 which did was KOF2000...
Thanks.
Nope, it's a hi-res interlaced display. The reason I say the filter benefits type b/c more is because in those modes the sprites are stretched out which makes them look pretty fugly unfortunately. In type a they aren't stretched, but you do end up with small black bars on the left and right of the screen, which is the same as SVC in non-stretched mode. I use Type a personally, and with the filter turned on... but whichever way I would still say that it looks better on a proper Neo setup. I think the problems with stretched sprites etc are to do with the different resolution that the PS2 runs at. And yeah, I don't know why more games use the low res setting of the PS2 like KOF 2000 did, as that looked pretty decent imho.
SouthtownKid: thanks man... World Heroes is confirmed to be coming to the PS2 by the way, although I'm not sure about Ninja Masters yet, but it would be very cool if it did though. I'd still like to see new games in both those series though, or to at least see some NM characters make it into a dream match game, like the WH characters in NGBC
Thanks for the comments everyone!
