Reddit reviews StarTech.com 6 in. (1.8 m) VGA to RCA Cable - RCA Breakout - HD15 (M)/Component (F) - VGA to Component (HD15CPNTMF)

Just so you know, the RL2455HM can natively handle YPbPr via a breakout cable. Use something like this StarTek breakout adapter and you're all set.

I've also done a hardware mod for native HDMI from the GameCube with success: https://twitter.com/jbvh_/status/641633023750897664

In the end, I prefer the Wii + Component Cables + StarTek adapter. Just significantly easier. The other setups are cool. I enjoy my modded GameCube, but from a practicality standpoint, the Wii is easier to use and software mod.

EDIT: For audio, I usually route it separately, but you can just as easily get an Y-female RCA-> 3.5mm male and route it to the BenQ.

The Wii isn't capable of utilizing the full potential of that monitor but it can do 480p. You could actually hook a Wii up to that monitor! First get the component cables for the Wii.
Then get this
Component to VGA Adapter.
Finally, you'll need a RCA to Mini Stereo adapter,
this will merge the 2 RCA stereo (White and Red cables) from the Wii Component cable to a mini stereo jack that will plug into the audio input on your monitor. The games will look much crisper and cleaner as supposed to an old 480i CRT TV.

Hopefully Neutral, Side, and Down-B don't need to be overlap if fundamentally Smash is no different than doing something like this StarTek breakout adapter](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00213KFHW/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_dp_ss_2?pf_rd_p=1944687462&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B009GUQYBO&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=1TDXGK7QP4AFY487JY8Y) and you're all set.

So that model does support Component input through the VGA port, so you'll need an adapter if you wanna use it, and then the audio is plugged into the Side AV port. The TV would of come with a cable which plugs in there and provides three connectors, Yellow, Red and White.

Example of the VGA adapter

Yes!

Good pickup, My B https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00213KFHW is the one you want

I think something like this would do the trick - YPBPR output of the PS2 goes in one end, the other end plugs into the monitor. You'll want someone else to confirm that, though, because I'm not 100% sure about this line:

>Note: This cable requires a video converter or output device that can process a YPbPr signal through an HD15 (VGA) port.

EDIT: Based on some forum searches, it looks like that won't work :(

EDIT2: This might work, but it's a bit expensive.

I understand. PS2 homebrew can be daunting if you’re not used to it. Anyway, they run in 480p. There is an incomplete game list that I saw before but I can’t seem to locate it now. From what I understand most games work without bugs though.

The easiest way to get a memory card with FreeMCBoot installed is to buy one online. They usually go for around €10 on eBay. When you start the PS2 with the FMCB memory card inserted, the FMCB menu will show up, with a few homebrew apps preinstalled. One of them is uLaunchElf. This is a file browser for the PS2 that allows you to copy, delete and launch apps. Insert a USB with GSM downloaded to it into the PS2. Then, using uLaunchElf, you can follow the tutorial I linked to above to copy it to the correct place on the FMCB memory card. Alternatively, you can buy this card with GSM preinstalled:

https://www.ebay.ie/itm/Free-MCBoot-1-966-FMCB-Playstation-2-16MB-Memory-Card-ESR-HDL-OPL-MORE/273485368998?hash=item3facff8ea6:g:fasAAOSwlTFdzX9J

Then you can follow the second tutorial I linked to and start GSM automatically. Alternatively, you can navigate to GSM blind (easy to do, just memories how many times you have to press up or down on the FMCB menu and press X to start it).

Before you get a memory card, if your PS2 is a slim, check the bottom of it for the model number. If it’s SCPH-90004 with a date code of 8C or later, it won’t run FMCB. All other PS2 models will run it.

Regarding the cable, an alternative is to get the PS2 component cable. Get a good-quality one for about €20, or HD Retrovision’s cable if you feel like spending more for excellent quality. Then get a component-to-VGA adapter, plug the red, blue and green wires of the component cable into it, and connect the adapter to your monitor. This will work exactly like the official VGA adapter. This is the one I use:

You’ll need speakers for sound, of course. I use this cable to connect my white and red wires (there’s two red wires on a component cable) to standard PC speakers:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07CZWVQ2G/ref=ya_aw_od_pi?ie=UTF8&psc=1

This will allow you to play PS2 games with excellent picture and sound quality. PC speakers are far better than a TV’s speakers.

I'm using the BenQ RL2460HT. Recently made the switch from Sewell converter to an RCA adapter instead

that has no HDCP support though. I don't know if the Chromecast has HDCP or not though.

I had a similar issue of no HDMI support on my el cheapo projector, but mine allows for a component connection via the D-sub vga connection as well, so I use one of these http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JVNUAEI?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00 to concert from HDMI to component, then just a simple adapter like this http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00213KFHW?keywords=component%20vga&qid=1457799452&ref_=sr_1_1&sr=8-1

My projector is only 720 though, and I can't say I really like the hdmi/component convertor... it works well enough, but has a tendency to "blip" and act like it's had it's signal reset. it usually happens quickly and you don't really miss anything, but it's just kind of annoying. I'd like to find a better solution still.

Jeez I thought component was component. Maybe I have the wrong adaptor then, this is what I got.

There are component female to vga male you can use with the original av cables theoretically. I have not found anyone who can confirm or deny it working tho. I bought mine so I can update in the next week or so.

As someone else mentioned, I think you can use one of these to plug component into your VGA port. StarTech.com 6-Inch HD15 to Component RCA Breakout Cable Adapter - M/F (HD15CPNTMF) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00213KFHW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_eYKezb55FXWM0
