Thanks! I updated the OP with the GSM settings. From what you describe, it looks like the GSM setting is outputting NTSC for your TV which supports NTSC 60hz. If that is the case, I don't know why you have those borders, I thought the previous page screenshot was a PAL image. Have you tried other NTSC video such as a NTSC DVD Player with your TV set to 60hz NTSC? Would a NTSC PS2 display a NTSC game on your PAL TV at full screen with no borders since the TV also supports 60hz?
Based on you earlier post, a few questions.
1. Have you tried Swap Magic with (instead of the Normal setting) its NTSC Bootup option?
2. Can the ps2_ntsc2pal_yfix center the NTSC screen in PAL50hz?
3. Can you post a screenshot of the Yfix NTSC to PAL 50hz conversion?
The main advantage of the ps2_ntsc2pal_yfix over GSM is a self contained video converted disc that can be installed to a PS2 Hard Drive. GSM looks to be a better route to utilize the screen estate, but if the TV has 60hz built in? I am curious of a comparison of GSM/Yfix screens in how the NTSC games look when converted to a PAL 50hz signal, would the GSM improve the picture border?
