I think when you increase the internal resolution, you are forcing the progressive mode. Anyway, tried Suikoden 4 again, pretty much the same. Perhaps, I need to use something such as a hdtv which I don't have that has both mode to test. A monitor doesn't seem to show any difference in garphic.
btw, god of war seems to work better in normal mode because I got a small part chop off during the new game FVM with progressive mode. Also, using 2x scaling with Suikoden 4, same result.

you mean you cant use interlacing modes with this? also yeah its sharper but the cost of 5 fps is allot. by enabling the progressive mode you saw any difference in cpu usage or the gpu usage? which one it hits?

In normal mode, you can create shaking by choosing some interlacing settings, but you can't do it with progressive mode, for Suikoden 4 anyway. Well, this is pretty much the same as what shadow lady says.
The overall usage of both cpu and gpu seem to be heavier in progressive. I tested it normal cpu frame limiting, the fps changes too quickly and varies by a lot, too hard to tell.

so its good for people that have good pc and/or playing games that are not so hard to emulate and only if the mode doesnt create any garbage or glitches

My conclusion or rather opinion applies to only games that I have tested. In fact, Shadow of the Colossus and Suikoden 4 already have other graphical problems such as over bright and shadow in r1888( not sure if it has been fixed yet). The mode just doesn't create extra grabage or glitches, for the first 10 seconds or so of both games anyway.
Since this is going a bit off, in case op missed the answer, in respond to his question, triangle +x is not going to do the magic trick activiting progressive mode for games that do not support it. Games that do should have the option that let you choose.

Also, with this talk of additional FPS...I wouldn't benefit from this because I have the frame limiter on that keeps it at 60, otherwise it would be too high. Every once in a while it gets down to like 50 in some rare spots.
