game_over Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 is there a way i can connect my gamecube and PS2 to my computer so i can play them on my monitor... i heard the games graphics are alot better and smoother plus i dont like tv's :p on the front of my PS2 there is 2 USB ports and a small firewire port...would they have anything to do with it? i dont really see anything on the gamecube to connect it, maybe there is a scart lead adaptor or something? any help appreciated Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/204358-playing-ps2-gamecube-from-my-computer/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

game_over Posted August 16, 2004 Author Share Posted August 16, 2004 that nextvison n5 thing is amazing... it allows you to connect tv video dvd anything possible to your monitor... that would be the ideal solution for me...sadly the site is rubbish, the uk one even more so, and i cant find the product in a store or even a price and its not on ebay either... any help???? or any there any similar products? i'm uk based btw Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/204358-playing-ps2-gamecube-from-my-computer/#findComment-584370547 Share on other sites More sharing options...
game_over Posted August 16, 2004 Author Share Posted August 16, 2004 SeMz... said: thanks guys sounds good ill go get a tv tuner sometime this week i wouldnt count on just a tv tuner. especially a cheap one most tv tuners go in a pci slot and only offer the space for an antenna... for older consoles like a sega or nintendo is fine because they only use the same connector but ps2 use the scart, or those red white n yellow a/v leads.. unless we find a tuner which has them then it wont work.

game_over Posted August 16, 2004 Author Share Posted August 16, 2004 newegg dont ship to uk do they, and thats quite pricey altohgh its what i expected. any uk sellers? or a similar cheaper product Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/204358-playing-ps2-gamecube-from-my-computer/#findComment-584370595 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwiztedCam Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 No they don't. Yeah, they are a bit pricey, but the reviews are good; sounds alot better than a TV Tuner card. As for vendors in the UK, I don't know, and they used to have a cheaper version, but I don't know where it went...

mattmatik Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 Yeah, if you can get one of those ViewSonic products, you will really appreciate it. It is definately worth the price, hopefully you can find something similar over there or maybe you have an American friend who can help you out. Either way, something similar to the N series is what you will want and get the most out of.
