Hi all,

Ok might sound like a bit of a simple question for some, but my friend has a Media Centre PC with the card etc and a Playstation 2 and if possible would like to link the PS2 with his computer so the PS2 game view is outputted to the Computers monitor or an available option in Windows MCE?

First of all, how would he go about connecting the PS2 to the computer, what cables or converters would he need or would it be a straight linkup with say the yellow AV cable from the PS2 cable? Then, how would he go about getting it as an option to play it on the computer, as I couldn't find any guides showing how MCE can link to a PS2? Or is it just when you turn on the PS2 it outputs it to the monitor straight away?

Any help appreciated,

JMann.

You just need a capture-card with RCA inputs. Any operating system (Linux, MacOS) can show the game in your monitor windowed on desktop capturing the A/V signal.

I think WMP can make this on MCE2k5 edition. I preffer a specific program for this, such as ChrisTV.

My friend replied with this, I can't make much sense of it but maybe you can. :)

Thats all good except my card takes the RF cable as in like your tv so its like when you had a ps1 and had to tune it in to a channel, not like now when you do it via the three cables and go to AV, understand that?

Just wondering, is there like a guide for setting this kind of thing up for a PS2 and a Windows PC? :)

Thanks.

Well, if their card has only RF imput.. is possible Yes, but the quality will be poor. You need buy an RF cable connector for PS2 (Sony make it).

Afterall, I recommend you get a card with RCA (or S-VIDEO/component) inputs.

Lot of programs can capture the signal of your RF imput, including ChrisTV and the program bundled already with your card. Now, you just need the PS2 RF cable.

    • Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users

      Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users by Ivan Jenic Image: Microsoft Microsoft has announced that Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot is now generally available to all users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. Planner Agent is the latest addition in the string of AI features that Microsoft is implementing across virtually all of its products. The agent lets you manage tasks through natural language prompts directly inside Microsoft 365 Copilot. You can create and update tasks, check priorities, and get insights about current entries without leaving the chat interface. The general availability release comes with a handful of new additions on top of what was available during the initial rollout. A new plan picker lets you search and filter your plans by name, then update task names, statuses, due dates, or priorities through the agent. There's also a goals bucket now, which lets you group tasks under specific goals. This builds on the Goals view, a feature that was introduced as part of the broader Planner refresh that rolled out earlier. Image: Microsoft | Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot All AI-generated plans and tasks are created in draft mode by default, so you can review and approve changes before anything goes through. This is actually a thoughtful safety feature, because trusting AI to handle all your tasks without a human in the loop is usually a recipe for disaster. Having tasks initially saved as drafts is the best possible middle ground. Microsoft also says that not all tasks are executed equally. Simple tasks get processed quickly, while more complex ones, like building a plan from a Word, Excel, or PowerPoint file, are handed to a more capable model. Microsoft says this approach delivers the best performance, but it could also help with usage management, as you won't have to waste tokens on performing simple tasks. Planner Agent is available now across Teams, Loop, SharePoint, and other Microsoft 365 apps for anyone on a Microsoft 365 Copilot subscription.
