So I recently picked up MS 4+5 on Playstation 2 (US-NTSC release). I am currently running it via s-video using a madcatz s-video cable.
There is a slight flicker, similar to other PS2 games when you are at their main menu. For instance in Armored Core Nexus I believe there is an option you can toggle to reduce this flicker(I never toggle this as it makes things blurry anyway). I have only ever experienced this issue on the start menu's of some PS2 games.
Well, in Metal Slug 4+5 it is rather extreme. The entire game has a flicker, and it causes a bit of a headache. Does the game perform better using a different s-video cable? Would component cables solve this problem?
Also, does this same flicker problem persist in KOF2000/2001, KOF2002/2003, the import version of MS3, as well as other SNK PS2 releases? I already have most of my SNK releases covered on the DC, SAT, and Genesis. But, I figured if I ever saw some of the KOF's in the bargain bin for cheap I would snatch them up for the PS2 as well. However now I'm not so sure because of this screen flicker problem.
If anyone has any information on possible solutions for this issue, I would greatly appreciate hearing it. If not, then I guess its just a problem I would have to get used to.
