Ps2-pc Connection

(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)


Posted by: rtripmp

I was wondering if there is anyway to connect my PS2 to my laptop and use it as a monitor to play. I was thinking of simply USB cables, but need to know if a cable exists that has two male ends (A plugs) Any help would be appreciated.

The PS2 USB sockets don't work like that, unfortunatly, they only work with specially designed components for the PS2.

You cannot really use a laptop as a monitor for anything external anyway, due to the nature of how a laptop is built. They don't have a real input port for an external source, and a USB cable can't carry a video signal for a monitor. Anyway, that would either require a lot of seperate cable types, or a big bulky converter to do this. If you want to play your PS2 on the move, you can purchase a screen which attaches on to it, and even a converter for the lighter socket in your car, if needs be.
