My TV is now broken, but I would still like to play playstation.  I have all kinds of cords and stuff for this, and audio isn't a problem.  I want to connect my PS2 to my computer to be able to view the Playstation's video output on the screen of my Dell Latitude D510 Laptop.  It has Windows XP, and I bought it this past August, if that matters.  It has an S-video, or component video socket in the back, and I've used it to make a display clone, but that doesn't help me much now.  I'm sure some kid out there can tell me of a program that will allow me to do that, or can tell me how to do it with existing software.  Thanks.

All those connectors on the back are probably for output.  You'll need a video capture device to get a video input to your pc.\n\nThese are available with USB - which you'll need for a laptop - and run anywhere from $30 up.  You can snag them on ebay for pretty cheap.

The cost of what your trying to do is not worth it, the easy way to do what you want is buy a USB TV  converter, about $45 or even cheaper, install it, then plug your video cable RCA jack on the converter,run the TV scan with your game console plugged in and you should have the screen on your laptop and just set it for full screen, or better yet use your TV and or VCR.... But if you do what i said you can also use your VCR to your laptop for converting VCR movies on to DVD's... Cool

get a tv tuner card and hook the ps2 through the cble connector and set it up on ch 4 and tell the card to scan the channels and it will find ch 4 if u have the ps2 on if not it wont so turn it on.

If I remember correctly, those cables are hard to come by or don't exist at all(and even if they exist, I think they were pretty expensive).\n\nTry looking here:\n\n http://www.monoprice.com\n\nMight be easier to either use your s-video (assuming you have one) or finding a HDTV that supports VGA inputs.\n\nI guess you could also try using a little box to do it for ya.  Something like this:\n\nhttp://www.geeks.com/details.asp?invtid=GXP-2000-PB&cpc=SCH

If it's still available, the program you are looking for is called "Bleem" and was in the news some time ago. Why would you want to, when any really good games (eg Lara Croft, Tomb Raider) are available on all major "Platforms" unless they're exclusive lusive, and it that's the case then you'll have the console it's connected to.\n\nLast time my friend who has a PS1 and PS2 console asked me about this (I don't have either) I told him as I am telling you. It may be difficult to find, but if you do and this works, ENJOY! Even if this is availble and you can find it, there's no guarantee that it will work on newer games based on how theyre programmed....

go to dell.com and then go to support & help/ drivers & downloads and download the video driver for your laptop

If they are both ps2 style then try a serial port mouse....the ps2 ports may be bad or drivers may have gotten corrupted. If the serial mouse works you will at least be able to go into device manager and check things out.

You can check for PSP video convertors at  http://www.download.com\n\nHere is a link to some free ones.\n\nhttp://www.download.com/3120-2001_4-0-1-0.html?qt=psp+video&author=&titlename=&desc=&dlcount=&daysback=&swlink=&gfiletype=&os=&li=49&dlsize=&ca=

Buy a PS2 emulator and install it.\n\nMaybe on ebay. Or go to the Philippines and go to some illegal but safe shops there.

The problem is that the two video signals are very different and not compatible.  You'll need something to make the conversion.  Usually, devices used to convert video signal types are called Scan Converters, so if you do a search on that you'll probably find lots of stuff.  I understand CompUSA has a pretty good selection of them. \n\nYou'll probably find VGA (which might also be called HD15, high density DB15, SVGA, or 15 pin RGB.  They all mean the same thing!) to component video easier to find than VGA to DVI.  However, check to see if the DVI port is "DVI-I" or "DVI-A".  The way you can tell is if there are four holes around the "bar" slot on the right hand side of the jack.  If you don't have those holes, you have a DVI-D which is digital only.  The problem here is VGA is analog only, so you'll need a device to convert analog to digital.\n\nIf you *do* have four holes around the bar on the right hand side, you can use a DVI to HD15 cable.  Remember, though, that this won't carry any audio!  You'll need to find another way to do that.\n\nI've attached links to pictures of DVI connectors and a link to a DVI to HD15 cable that my company carries.

First your TV must have A/V (audio video) input.  The red and white  plugs are normally used for the audio.\nIf your computer has an audio out/speaker out with this type of \nplug  then simply connect the two and set the TV to the A/V input\nThe computer's audio will play on the TV. \n\nIf your TV only has an antenna input then you will need some type of conveter an old VRC works great.  Hook up the wires from the computer to the audio input of the VCR and take the antenna out to the TV. (You will need an RF cable - one probably came with the VCR)   Set the TV on the VCR's output channel normally 3 or 4 and the VCR's input to A/V.

If the PC has a TV card installed with S-video port then this is no problem. If not then connect via coax like mine.\nI have a freeview box connected to mine.\nJust change channels on the freeview but watch on the PC.

I am assuming that:\nYou want to use your TV as your only monitor.\nYou use Windows XP.\n\nFirst, I would like to warn you that a computer screen image on a TV is not clear and often hard to see. This is caused by the fact that non-HD TVs have considerably less screen resolution than most computer monitors. However, if you only want to watch movies, the picture quality should be the same.\n\nThe red, white, and yellow connections are called composite. If both your computer and TV have them I see no reason why you cannot use a cable to connect them (as long as the connections are going out on your computer and in on your TV). You probably should check your computer’s and/or video card’s owner’s manual to be sure that the connections on your computer are out.\n\nOnce you are sure that you have the correct connections and you have the cables you need; turn off your computer, unplug your monitor (if you have one plugged in), and plug the cables in. Then turn your computer on. I think this will accomplish what you want. \n\nIf you have any questions, feel free to contact me using the link on my Q&A page.\n\nIf this answer doesn’t help, please provide more information such as:\nDo you want to use your TV as your only monitor, have your TV and monitor display identical images, or use a type of dual view? \nWhat OS are you using?\nWhat video card do you use?\nAnd anything else that may be relevant.

you need a video card that supports tv out via s-video or composite connection.  it really helps to know what video card you are using and its display capabilities.  if you have a s-video out on your video card, you would plug an s-video cable into the video card and the other to the tv(or a composite cable depending on your tv connections).  windows xp will usally detect the tv after rebooting your computer and no further setup is needed.  hope this helps.

There are lots of different ways to achieve this. The most common connection now is from your PC to a LCD or DHP TV. They have built in HDMI connenctions just like a computer monitor. You can also use a DVI connection. If your TV has neither of these connections then your best bet is to forget the idea of hooking your PC to your TV because you are not going to get the results you really want.

Ok I recommend you buying this device.\nWith this device you can connect cable to your monitor,or even VHS or DVD to your monitor.\nWithout needing to connect it to your PC as you said you wanted.\n\nHere are some links. The Nextvision4 in my opinion is more than enough. \n\nhttp://www.viewsonic.com/products/tventertainment/tvvideoprocessors/nextvisionn4/\n\nhttp://www.viewsonic.com/products/tventertainment/tvvideoprocessors/nextvisionn5/\n\nhttp://www.viewsonic.com/products/tventertainment/tvvideoprocessors/nextvisionn6/
