PS2 to computer monitor. Possible?

[uCsDNerd]

Hey. Does anybody know if I could hook a PS2 up to a computer monitor. I'd imagine I'd need to buy new connection cables, but do such cables exist? thanks.

Yeah as long as you have video in somewhere on your computer you can play it on your monitor. I have a TV Wonder with video in, so I just plug my dreamcast video in there and the audio into my GTXP and play the video and sound through the computer

sweet. thanks. hah- now to find a cheap TV Video card, 'cause i'm broke!

a cheaper method would be to buy a video capture DEVICE, not a card.
would come in for around 40$.

u can get a wintv go for fairly cheap that will do the trick just fine. that's what i did. the picture quality isn't exactly stellar but it works

dang. i just missed a PC TV card in the hot deals forum by just a few days! oh well.. i'll keep a heads up for one of them in the future.

That PS2 Linux package seems really interesting though. I've been wanting to load up Linux onto one of my old PCs that are just sitting around at home, just so I could learn the basics of the OS. Now that a Linux kit is comming out for the PS2, I wonder what kind of things are gonna be possible. haha... i'd be pretty rad if you could turn the PS2 into some sort of server. Now time i just gotta save up the $200 for it :disgust:
