You can use a capture card, or a card that has video in on it, or a tv tuner card.
For a laptop, probably the easiest way would be to get a USB tv tuner card and hook it up to the laptop through the video in. |

You need to do the following:
Get an ATI All TV_Wonder USB. Connect it to your pc/laptop. Make sure it's compatible with your PCs VIDEO CARD!!! Then plug the PS2 into the TV Wonder and you should be able to watch your PS2 on your laptop/pc. I've done it before and it should only cost `$150. there are PS2->VGA cables but note your monitor (in this case) will NEED TO SYNC ON GREEN!!!
Hope that helps... |

I know that you can connect a webcam into a usb port but can you get video by connecting a ps2 to a computer through the usb or firewire connection? |

OK, I recently purchase a Pixelview Media Center PlayTV@P3000 so that I can play PS2 on my 17" Compaq monitor. The trouble is, on the boot screen, the picture quality was grade but when I enter the game (after the PlayStation 2 logo), the picture turned bad, it was move a little bit up and the screen was very washed out. There is also a lot of noise, so can someone advice me how to resolve this, thank you |

Help!
I'm a girl, (crack what jokes you may) But I really want the new PS2, mostly to play GT4, but I don't have a TV. I just have my baby LCD screen, and I want to be able to play the PS2 through my computer using the screen. I know I will need a better video card. So I need to know what to upgrade to, and then which cables and such I will need.
I would love any advice and help I can get.
Thank you So much.

I have hooked up my PS2 to my computer. As was mentioned already... you need a TV tuner card. I happen to be using the WinFast TV2000 XP Expert card... i think it cost me about 50 bucks. With it and the cables that came with it and the PS2 cables... I was easily able to hook up my PS2... in fact... I am playing Tony Hawk 2 Underground right now. Enjoy.

hi CrimsoncCrayon, how is the picture quality with your winfast card in full screen? Can you play NTSC and PAL games? And does it support 480p? And finally, what is the specs for your computer?
I am thinking of getting a similar WinFast TV USB II card and would like to know how good it performs. Thanks. |

I have a Theatre Pro 550 TV tuner however once the PS2 is hooked up through the composite video inputs it's not displaying on my monitor. My monitor does support sync on green. Any ideas? I was using Cyberlink Powercinema software, is there something else that will support this? |

USB=SLOW! Get a PCI capture card. USB cards have low response rates. I am still trying to figure out how to splice a VGA cable. I am not buying a capture card because I don't have but shiit in the way of cash. 10 bucks is all I would spend on this. |

Okay guys, this should do what you want.
Link: http://www.sjgreatdeals.com/jasho27699.html
It’s an adapter that takes composite or S-video and converts to vga resolution (basically it allows you to use a computer monitor as a TV) You don’t even need to run the video through your computer. |

My questions a little different than the others. I have Winfast Tv Tuner and I have my VCR hooked up to it to watch vhs tapes on my computer whihc works fine. However, I just brought over a ps2 to see if i can connect it through the vcr so what I did was I plugged in ithe ps2 audio/vido cables to the vcr and i thought that i wouldbe able to see the ps2 on the computer just like you would on a tv if you hooked it up the same way but it doesn't seem to work. |

I have not registered to this forum, however, I do have insight to these questions.
A monitors resolution is completely dependent upon the adapter it is connected to. Adapter meaning video card. Most video cards only have video out. This is a single connection to a monitor or display source. Some however, have DVO/DVI or TV/S-Video/Composite out/in. Drivers such as WDM capture will of been detected when the video card was installed on a WINXP OS. These are necessary and almost always accompany the video card with WDM capture ability. These types of cards allow for a much broader range of applications. A PS2 can connect to a laptop/desktop ONLY if your video card allows for s-video/rca/a-v cable/DV IN. (Consult your users manual for the laptop or video card if you have more then 1 s-video port. 1 is obviously for video OUT which will not help you. You can purchase an after market set of PS2 cable with all of these in/out features on them for about $25. USB or IEE1394 firewire will not work. I have successfully connected a PS2 to a ATI 9700 Pro video card through S-Video input AND through an ATI Mobility X800 256mb video card using the s-video IN port on the laptop casing of my laptop. Both worked fine, but without sound. I hope this helps.

How do you hook up a PS2 to your computer to download files onto a PS2 hard drive? |
|

You say USB and Firewire wont work to attach a PS2 to a laptop. From my own experience, a TV card attached via USB wont work either- I had sound but the image was frozen- info was carried too slowly or something.
However- would a PCMCIA TV card work? I only have video out on my card for the laptop. |

Read further up the thread. I posted a link to a device that should do what you all of you are trying to do. Don’t even bother with those USB capture things (dazzle, USB Gear, etc.) they capture at vary low resolutions (like 320 X 240 and under) so they are crap for gaming, you actually get a worse picture then just using a regular TV.
This is what I suggest:
http://www.sjgreatdeals.com/jasho27699.html
The way this works is you plug the regular yellow, white, red av cable from you game system into it and it converts the signal to VGA. You then plug the computer monitor that you want to view the game system on (or any other AV source for that matter) into the converter and you are good to go. It even has a VGA pass-through so you can use the same monitor for your computer and game system. But obviously this won’t work for laptops so my suggestion for viewing PS2 on your laptop would be to get a TV tuner card (an internal PCMCIA one, not USB!) Here is a link to one I found doing a Google search:

Aha!!! I was hoping there would be a thread like this!
Doesn't it drive you crazy that when you want to do something with your computer you often have to practically re-invent modern technology?
I've got a Toshiba Qosmio G-15. It's probably the most AV built laptop today.
It has Windows XP Media Center and has video in, S Video in, the works.
Now came the problems. You can hook up a cable or satellite or just a regular antenna and watch tv like it ain't no thang.
If you want to convert video from analog camera, VCR it's a pain in the butt. No one knew how to do it and I and a Toshiba technician had to spend 2 hours to find out why people were having such a problem. Turned out something dumb like during the set up procedure you're required to use the remote control to punch in channel numbers but the remote doesn't have numbers! I figured out to use the keyboard instead and that saved the day.
Now it's on to trying to use it's great monitor to view PS2. I dread having to go through all that again but I'll try.
If anyone has gone through this lemme know.
This computer come with an adapter for all three in cables. Audio is awesome and configuring it for picture is gonna be the test. If anyone has a Qosmio please lemme know. |

Ha! After much searching I found out that the Toshiba Qosmio I bought has a procedure for realtime display from my PS2. Two problems however, the resolution is not as superior as it's normal viewing resolution and you have to put the computer in hibernation and then it's just three button pushes and you're away.
As for portable DVDs it depends on the configuration. What brand of portable DVD do you have? It should just be a matter of adapters BUT don't know if you'll get realtime play. |

Well its a Mintek 10.2inch MDP-1010. I went to Best Buy today and they said that it is not possible because all the ports are earphones jack size. They said it might be possible with some special adapters and cables that they dont have. I dont know if I trust them or not though. http://www.mintekdigital.com/detail.asp?ProdID=MDP-1010
This is my unit. Man I wish I knew what I was talking about to prove that Best Buy jerk wrong. |

These USB adapters capture at a low resolution (like 320 X 240 or less), so the picture would not be good for gaming. |
