It should upscale to 480p progressive as NTSC does.
I don't think I have one of those unless Metal Slug counts (does it?).

So I guess nothing then, and I could try a linedoubler to get the 288p to 480/576p and add scanlines with a scanline generator.
I do have Super Mario RPG with 480p/60HZ though.

Yeah you'll have to ask a PAL user about that.

iScan Pro user:
"There is also one thing you might not know. PAL games are usually made from NTSC games by adding black borders for the additional lines. Now, a modern TV knows about that and overscans the picture so that in case of a NTSC or PAL game, you have the whole screen filled. The iScan Pro however, isn't sophisticated enough. That means that when you connect a PAL source you will end up with black borders. If your TV doesn't have controls for zooming the picture, you end up with a smaller gamespace. Even the GBS-8200 has zoom controls for removing the borders."
This is sorta off-topic but I guess one idea I have is to avoid line-doublers and make everything HD TV acceptable (HDMI N64 adapter, PS1 games on PS2 through GS Mode Selector, NGC Component cables, etc.)
