Stretching PS1 games like on PSP?

Hey guys, just got my PS3 so im pretty new to it all.

Got some PSone classics off PSN and just wondering if I can stretch them out to PROPER full screen without any borders, like I can on my PSP? Rather than the "Full screen" option the PS3 gives you which has big old black borders around the whole thing. Just thought if they give the option on PSP, why not on PS3?

Yes, I believe when you press the PS button while playing a PS1 game there is an option that lets you do that, if I remember correctly.

hmm i haven't played many psx games but i never had that problem. the only thing i can advice is, check out the home menu when your in the game if you see an option to turn it to 16:9 or if the ps3 is configured to using a 16:9 tv.

I'm no expert, hope someone can help you better.

Hmmm...well I'm pretty sure I got it to fill the whole screen somehow. I'm not at my PS3 at the moment or I would check. It was an actual PS1 disc if that matters, but it shouldn't.

I don't know if all games have this but there's also a "smoothing" option which makes textures look less jaggedy which might also help a bit.

Okay I had to check. I have the same settings, normal for 4:3 and fullscreen, but fullscreen gives me the full widescreen with no borders. This was with MGS though, perhaps not all games will do that.

What kind of T.V. do you have? If you have a widescreen tv then you wont be able to get rid of the boarders.. as "full screen" setting on a wide-screen tv produces an image that would be "full screen" on a normal t.v. meaning the extra space on the left and right side of the screen that is blocked off wouldn't be there on a full screen t.v... you would want to set it to "widescreen".. IF that option even exists. I have a 50'' widescreen tv and I get the very small black borders on the left and right side of the screen, not a big deal for me. But I can understand the issue some people may have.

I think the borders are there to make the PS1 games look slighty better with a smaller screen. Have those borders always been there? I could of sworn they wern't there before. PS1 games looked pretty ugly and pixeled without them on a HDTV.

I have to stretch the image on my TV instead of the PS3, I think.
