Hi All, It's been awhile since I posted something, hope everyone is doing well.

I've been playing GTA SA on the PS4 (PS2 Classic) and noticed some visual bugs that are quite off putting, for me at least.

Here is a video by Taker Troublemaker showcasing some of the issues, like the vertical lines and ghosting. Look closely at the trees.

I think these PS2 era effects aren't translating into the emulator properly, especially with up-scaling.

After playing around with some widescreen patches/fixes I found in the GTA community, I noticed the vertical lines were gone. The '//CleanGfx' code seems to have fixed this, essentially it removes the orange tint & ghosting effect.

Personally I prefer the orange tint look, but I can't deal with the vertical lines.

What do you guys think?

Here are some before and after pics.
WS & Fix codes are linked below.

Not all codes have been tested, like the 60 FPS codes.

You can either patch the ISO with PS2 Patch Engine, or apply the codes via the LUA file.

Thanks to Boludoz & Daniel Sant0s for providing/exporting/converting the fixes over to the PS2.

Alot of my research was done here:

    I want a handheld gaming system with a tablet sized screen, like a 8 or10" screen, with controllers that can detach like the Switch.

    @BigOnYa i was legitimately trying to scratch my leg, this is reminding me of that cylinder post
  • Scarlet @ Scarlet:
    I don't see the buzz about a square screen personally. I think there will be a review on the site within a few weeks though if you are interested.

    I've put down the money on the Odin 2 Mini since I just love that Vita form factor. Loved the power of the Odin 2 but the size always put me off, this one seems exactly what I've been wanting.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I don't care about the square screen it's just nice to hold something you don't have to stretch your arms a foots length
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    All these things expecting to be super huge is overrated just run a type c cable to your TV if you want a big display or in my case screen mirror it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    On the go tho I meant, I use my 10" tablet and a Bluetooth controller for retro gaming while sitting on my porch or on long car rides sometimes. Easier on my eyes than the Switch screen.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    My point is we already have enough shit with big displays having something pocketable with up to ps2 would be fine on the go

    Ken unless the games are made for that screen size most suck on a screen that size... Having a square screen and being brighter and higher res helps but it's not a cure all, text is tiny bullets are tiny, your.... Well lol
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    You can stretch to fit probably it's not all bad that they make it seem to be
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    People always yap about oh but you loose pixels but yeah it won't look awful either
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I like filters :P
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Filters are why you don't go on 2nd dates
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Lol nahhh it's because I usually get what they want on the first date lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I swear if I hear "I don't usually do this on the first date" on more time... I am going to start counting
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
