Questions about playing older japan ps1 ddr mixes on HDTV's

And I've tested konamix and ddr usa ps1 and they do the same thing. Everything plays fine but the arrows drift out of sync really really fast. Usually within 5 seconds of when the arrows reach the part where you can hit them. Far as I know only DDR 5th mix ps1 works fine on hdtv's because of the higher fps vs 30fps for all the other ones. Unless the dreamcast versions run at 60fps which I assume they do.

Is there anyway at -all- to fix this on HDTV's? I know 3rd mix doesn't even have a timing adjust at all. And 4th mix ps1's timing adjust doesn't help. I tried that on each timing setting with no luck. I've asked this question before on other ddr fourms with no luck. I'm just hoping there's -some- way to do this. Maybe even using my official disks in ePSXe or something. And yes I have a old tv. I just would like to be able to play everything on one tv if I can. Thanks for any help you guys can give me on this too. I mainly want this just so I can play 3rd mix ps1 properly again.

I'm not sure that it's a TV problem. Where are you from ?

I played some 5th CS Jap with a friend on a Europeen PS1. The songs drifts too.
More long the song is, more drift you got at the end (the long version of B4U for exemple).

I would like to say that is a problem beetween 50 and 60hz. PAL/NTSC.
We played on a PAL console with a NTSC game.

That's why i asked in a first place "Where are you from ?".
But i should ask "Where are your console and games from ?" too.

USA. Playing the japan releases on a USA HDTV.

Your HDTV should have an option called "Game Mode" or something like that. Might be a button on the set or an option in the menu.

Saw something like that on my tv and it didn't help. I tested out a bunch of 3rd mix ps1 songs and I did find out something interesting. Seemed the lower the bpm of the song the better in sync it was. Get Up And Dance for example a slow song I could do fine on. Same for Jam Jam Reggae (AMD Swing Mix). But trying Dead End, Afronova and such and it's a lot worse. I noticed the arrows "jerk" at times like there trying to catch up too.

This is why I hate HDTVs.

are you playing on a PS3? if so, thats your problem. i cant play konamix, USA, or disney on my PS3 because they drift. on a PS2, not a problem as long as i change the aspect to standard (dont stretch it to fit the full screen, have the black bars on the side and the picture as a perfect square in the middle). for some reason, my TV doesnt have a game mode, dont know why. but doing what i described fixed all my drifting on PS1 games and my late sync issues on PS2 games. the timing is good enough to get just greats on IIDX like i would on a CRT.

Well I didn't even stretch it at all. But my tv says it's 720x480 (480i). And it's a 42" Vizio 1080p 60hz tv I got a year ago. Maybe the 720x480 is the problem? And I'm using a fat japan ps2 for this as well.

It's probably just the fact that your video source is 480i and your HDTV has a crap upscaler that takes too long for games.
