Playstation to Computer?

Recommended Posts

Does anyone know if a Playstation2 can be connected to a PC? I imagine a special card with RCA inputs would do the trick.


Yes. What you need is called a capture card. They are a seperate PCI card and take video RCA input (sound is through the line-in on your soundcard) or S-video for beter quality.
Some VGA cards, like the ATI All-in-wonder series, have this built in, so if you were considering updating that video card anyway....
Also the AiW cards have a TV tuner built in, so you can use your PC as a TIVO (basically a tv and video recorder in one). They have hardware MPEG-2 capture.
Edited to add:
Also I believe that there is also a kit you can get to turn your PS2 into a PC (yeah I know, not x86 architecture), it runs Linux.
