I believe it was 50001. If the PS2 is that model number or higher (or any of the PS2 slims), then it will have the progressive mode for DVDs.
For progressive scan in PS2 games, about half of all new games and a very minimal amount of older games support it, but supposedly you can use the
Xploder HDTV Player to force any game (hopefully) into 480p. It can also be used to upsample them to 720p or 1080i, but results seem pretty poor from what the review says. I can't really see why PS2 games don't have this option if it's so simple that it can be enabled by an external third party application, and I'm guessing a few games will have problems with it, but it's worth a shot if you want to try to play more PS2 games in 480p.
Oh, and GT4 isn't 1080i native, it's just an upsampled 480p image. Depending on your HDTV, it may be better simply to leave it at 480p so that you get a full progressive signal instead of a low resolution one that's stretched to an interlaced signal.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
