Could someone explain why after spending �1000 on a pc, my Sony PSX which cost �60 can run F1 2000 so much better?

Um, I'm guessing the sim runs well on PSX regardless of how much you spend on your computer. Just a guess. Andrew Mark Rogers wrote: > Could someone explain why after spending �1000 on a pc, my Sony PSX which > cost �60 can run F1 2000 so much better?

First of all, your version of F1 2000 is not the same as the one we all have on the PC. It's even worse. Secondly, a Playsation isn't a very open-architecture system (like most of the consoles to date) and it's very difficult to create any add-on or third-party files to enhance the product. Patches are pretty much impossible to implement, while multiplayer is very poor when it does exist via two PSX or split screen. It's power is much slower than any PC on the market currently (even the low-class PC's at the moment) and creates almost VGA quality graphics on the screen, at resolutions around 320x400. It can't do any aliasing or filtering, creating some apparent texture pixels. -- -- Fran�ois M�nard <ymenard> -- May the Downforce be with you... -- http://www.WeRace.net -- People think it must be fun to be a super genius, but they don't realise how hard it is to put up with all the idiots in the world.

You want to be asking Image Space Incorporated and EA Sports about that.
