Hi Guys

Could someone tell me if it is possible to run a PS2 on my Sony Vaio laptop's screen?

I have found something callled a PS2 Hi-Resolution VGA adapter but I'm unsure if it will work with my laptop, here are the linKs:

As far as my laptop is concerned, I have a visual (Ports on Unit: Headphones Out, Microphone In, Ethernet Port, VGA Monitor Out) socket on the side, is there anyway for this product to work with my laptop, or any other method of using my PS2 with my laptop?

Bearing in mind I could use one of these 'male to male' cables to connect the device to the monitor input.

I've had a look around and I think I might need a USB RGB input cable, does anyone know of such a device, and would it work with my laptop?


Thanks for your help.

What you would need to get is a pcmcia tuner card. That way you can capture stright from the ps2's output.

From my experiance though, quality is crap and there is even a bit of a delay. It's not really noticeable unless you are playing action games that require extremely fast reaction time (like DDR or Marvel vs Capcom)

Here are a few for you to choose from. If you don't mind all the cables that you would have to drape everywhere, this is your best bet. Great thing about this also is that you can record your games :)
