so i have a modded ps vita and with a modded you can do a bunch of cool things like overclocking, framerate display and streaming ps vita screen to computer through usb. it's really cool and thanks to it i can record my ps vita (you can check it out here https://github.com/xerpi/vita-udcd-uvc). i made this test recording playing through the intro level of Sly 2 and i am planning to do a review on this game with a framerate test. i recorded the audio using my phone because the audio in obs didn't work.
Ratchet & Clank 2 HD pre-rendered cutscenes are infamous for having wrong aspect ratio, washed colors and artifacts. HOWEVER when you play the cutscenes in a video player from the "movie" folder in the game files, the cutscenes actually look good! (here is the reddit post about the discovery

i decided i would take all files from the "movies" folder and stitch them together and upload it. 2 video are deinterlaced but are interlaced in the "movies" folder.
i took these cutscenes out of my European version of the game i dumped on my computer so i can play it on RPCS3
now it's in 576p. i spent 10 minutes looking for the remaining eggs in misty island (i didn't even find them so i left the level with uncomplete eggs. what a waste of time). me doing bullcrap starts here 27:51 and ends at 38:18
i finally realized that i could maybe play the game with widescreen hack. if you didn't know, many PS2 games came with a widescreen option. however that "widescreen" is just the 4:3 cropped to 16:9. so it's fake. HOWEVER on PCSX2 you can enable the widescreen hack so that means you can play with REAL widescreen. HUD sometimes gets hidden behind objects. it happens most when you collect a power cell when the memory card autosave shows up. from now on i'm going to record rest of the game with this widescreen hack. i also suck at this level and i died a lot of times
