Are you referring to the "PS2 to HD" as the converter?
https://www.amazon.com/KOBWA-Video-Converter-Output-Monitor/dp/B01IDC1DXY/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1509645424&sr=8-4&keywords=ps2+to+hdmi

If so, I would not recommend it if you are looking for the best quality video! Because resolution outputs are limited. I'll explain later more on this.
In my experience if you are looking for the best video quality and don't want to spend a lot of money on an OSSC or XRGB mini to de-interlace 480i. I would just buy component cables and connect those straight to your HDTV or HD CRT if you have it.
I've tested two types of component cables on my widescreen HD CRT. Cheap price ones from amazon and the Sony ps3 component cables. Right off the bat you can tell the build quality difference. The Sony PS3 component cables feel heavy duty and shielded vs the amazon Monoprice which feel lighter and possibly not shielded but I may be wrong on that.
As far as image quality goes they both look the same! I was hoping the Sony PS3 component cables would look better but they don't. This may be different on an HDTV, so keep that in mind. I need to test the difference.

https://www.amazon.com/Monoprice-6FT-Component-Cable-Xbox-360/dp/B004C4U1VI/ref=sr_1_6?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1509645667&sr=1-6&keywords=ps2+component+cable

On top of this, one thing I have noticed is that the colors look so much better on a HD CRT vs an HDTV when the PS2 is connected through component.
If you want to take it a step further I would buy a memory card loaded with FreeMCboot and download GSM.elf. This will allow you force games to run at 480p and there is a definite difference between 480i and 480p. Also you can play at higher resolutions like 720p and 1080i. Since you are connecting to a HDTV you can also force games to run at true widescreen with ps2rdmod.elf
At this point this is where the PS2 to HDMI converter has its limitations. You can't use GSM with it because it will not support anything higher than 480i, 576i, 480p. To be honest I don't think it has the best transcoder chipset to properly convert component to hdmi. I remember it looking blurry on my HDTV at 480i. I never tested it with games running at 480p. Also it has problems when you force games to run at true widescreen.

You will have to look into that further if you are interested.

>If your TV has component as well as RCA, you could buy one of these cables that you can plug into both the component and composite inputs (If both these inputs do not share a sound input, you'll need A 2-pack of these splitters to make it work)
>

I have a component cable (one which has red, green and blue YPbPr connectors and the yellow analog video in too) . My new tv doesn't have a component (or composite or scart) in though, so i need an hdmi converter.

Maybe I shouldn't have made a tldr that leaves this out, because i said so above ;)

>Then, depending on if you're playing a PS1 or PS2 game, you can just change the input on your TV accordingly between component and AV. Afaik this is the most elegant solution that allows you to enjoy the clarity of component video in PS2 games.

I don't think think having to use yellow video in for psx games is satisfactory when they were working with composite before. I'll try the upscaler.

>EDIT: If you're just getting into PS1 games on the PS2 you should also know you need a PS1 memory card to save your game.

I'm not just getting into them. I've played them on my ps2 for 18 years. :) Most of the time through composite (YPbPr), which my old tv supported (and all psx games worked like that).


>PS2 memory cards inexplicably do not get recognized by the game.

They have a different data format so (though you could argue they could have made so you can put a 128KB psx save file onto a ps2 memory card).

But thanks anyway

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:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00213KFHW/ref=ya_aw_od_pi?ie=UTF8&psc=1

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.

u/wcngm43 · 2 pointsr/ps2

I got one of [this](Logitech PlayStation 2 Cordless Action Controller https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0001VNNE8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_cMpGzbEK1NH3S) last year for $20, used but in pretty good condition. The controller is super comfortable and the batteries (AA) last for a very long time.

Make sure it states that it comes with the receiver in the description before ordering.

u/Qwertyfish01 · 1 pointr/ps2

I actually had this problem the other day! As you may know, the menus of most ps1 games are at 480p, but the game itself is at 240p, a resolution so unusual most TV's just ignore it. Over composite (also referred to as AV, RCA, and a million other names), it doesn't really care though.

If your TV has component as well as RCA, you could buy one of these cables that you can plug into both the component and composite inputs (If both these inputs do not share a sound input, you'll need A 2-pack of these splitters to make it work)

Then, depending on if you're playing a PS1 or PS2 game, you can just change the input on your TV accordingly between component and AV. Afaik this is the most elegant solution that allows you to enjoy the clarity of component video in PS2 games.

EDIT: If you're just getting into PS1 games on the PS2 you should also know you need a PS1 memory card to save your game. PS2 memory cards inexplicably do not get recognized by the game.

I was going to suggest these but it seems like they’re out of stock. They are definitely worth the wait in my opinion though. Great build quality and they even work for systems like ps3/x360/Wii

u/mushroomwig · 3 pointsr/ps2

Personally speaking I'd recommend getting a component to HDMI converter (I use this one and it works great but there are plenty of other models to choose from if you want something else) paired with some nice quality component cables (either the official Sony PlayStation 3 ones since they work on the PS2, or the PS2 component cables sold by HDRetrovision), I went a couple of low quality third party ones before spending the extra money on the nicer cables, it's well worth it.

u/nssone · 3 pointsr/ps2

One of the recommended brands I saw in the past were Katana controllers. I'm not sure if there's a wired version, but Logitech made pretty good wireless PS2 controllers. You could also invest in a Brooks adapter and use with a PS3 controller since that's still pretty close the older DualShock controller designs and you can still find brand new ones fairly easily.

u/_H3X1C · 2 pointsr/ps2

What you need is a high quality component cable, that alone will drastically improve the quality. The supreme solution is to combine a high quality component cable with a converter such as the OSSC to get a hdmi output. But these are on the pricey side but are amazing. So I'd get the cable first see if that's enough for you then go from there if you want to go the whole way.


I can strongly recommend this cable, its very thicckkk:

Alright, I'll have to splurge alittle more into my cables then... I had a feeling it was the cables. I would love to have an official Sony component cable but for $30 I have to pass lol. Thank you for the help! I think I have another set in mind, I'll attach them to gather your thoughts:

u/blindyes · 1 pointr/ps2

Sweet, thanks. I'll get a better a better cord, I should have known not to go with off brand. This is the one I purchased.

u/Jamey4 · 1 pointr/ps2

Thank you so much!! :) Sounds like component cables might be the way to go for now then. If I was only doing PS1 games, I'd probably get SCART, but I'm doing a mix of PS1, PS2, and even some Gamecube games, and it sounds like component cables will cause the least amount of compatibility issues.

There is one last small question I have. I was looking at the PS2 component cables here, I noticed that the D-Terminal to Component Adapter that I can buy with the Framemeister has only 3 female sockets, when the PS2 cables have 5 cords. Is this normal, or am I looking at the wrong kind of PS2 cables or something?

Thanks again! :)

u/cuddlepuncher · 2 pointsr/ps2

I haven't done any side by side testing but I snagged these off Amazon and they are really good. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01B1BMH7A?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title
I can't imagine any other cable could be noticeably better. I just couldn't justify spending more on cables than I did for the console.

u/sgdude1337 · 1 pointr/ps2

Most lcd tvs don't support 240p over component or hdmi. PS1 games are mostly 240p. Your best bet is the pound hdmi cable, since it uses RGB output and then upscales to 720p, so your TV is being fed 720p, which it can correctly interpret.
https://www.amazon.com/POUND-Link-Cable-Playstation-compatible-2/dp/B07HPF7PRT/ref=sr_1_6?keywords=ps2+hdmi&qid=1572460939&sr=8-6
However, this isn't compatible with progressive scan, so I'd still play ps2 with the adapter you currently have in order to take advantage of 480p and get optimal image quality.

u/LoganPatchHowlett · 1 pointr/ps2

I second the comment on component cables. I changed over to them on my HDTV this year and it was like a revelation. Well not that big a difference but all the blurriness went away. They're pretty cheap too. I got one at a local shop. Like this: https://www.amazon.com/Component-V-Cable-Playstation-2/dp/B00005MDZD

u/CookieMunster73 · 2 pointsr/ps2

These are the ones I use. They are really reliable and high quality but it still stretches the screen. On some TV's you can set the aspect ratio. For HDMI it's the best I know of and they have it for different consoles as well. https://www.amazon.com/POUND-Link-Cable-Playstation-compatible-2/dp/B07HPF7PRT/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=pound+ps2&qid=1574439645&sr=8-1

u/Ripcord83 · 1 pointr/ps2

I bought this exact adapter as it was recommended to me. my cousin showed me his slim PS2 hooked up to his samsung tv and it played 240p PS1 games and 480p PS2 games with no issues. I purchased the same one (from seller: DesignUS) and it also works perfectly for me on my lg tv. I also don’t need to the use usb cable to power it.

wanted to add I tried another one of these adapters before and it was the cheapest on amazon. it did not work. the one I linked above did.

ymmv though. good thing is you can always return it if it doesn’t work.

u/559955 · 1 pointr/ps2

Ah okay. by converter do you mean something like this? I don't know if that's the best choice, it just the first thing when searching on amazon.

u/mememuseum · 1 pointr/ps2

As u/amirzaim said, if you have a fat PS2, you can get a network adapter from Amazon or sometimes local used/retro gaming stores. You need an IDE HDD too (or you have to use adapters) I got mine here. Lastly, you need a cable to connect it to your PC and transfer game images IDE drive docks work but you can also use a cable like this one. Format with Winhiip and then install the ISOs. You can RIP ISOs off of your retail discs legally by using Imgburn on your PC. For all of this to work you need a freemcboot card, which a nice person in the sidebar sells.

u/Moltiplier · 1 pointr/ps2

I've used these with good success though your results may vary. PS3 component cables also work on the PS2. I've also heard good things about Monoprice. I'm running a fat PS2, but the slim should support component.

u/benryves · 1 pointr/ps2

> And thinking about it now Im not sure even what its supposed to do or how it would do it.

I think it's designed for a device that has a VGA port that can be set to also output analogue video (e.g. a laptop) - it's a non-standard use of the port, in the same way that some video cards can support outputting HDMI sound through a DVI port using an array of non-standard converters.

> I eventually had to get a video signal converter.

I also have one of those and it works OK, certainly not bad for the price! The only issue is a bit of motion judder as I'm in a PAL region so the PS2 is outputting 50Hz signals and the converter only outputs 60Hz.

u/slackdastard · 1 pointr/ps2

https://www.amazon.com/VBESTLIFE-Interface-Network-Adaptor-Playstation/dp/B0778HN4KQ

Found that while searching and I would go with that over what I was saying. Don't need any adapters with this. Only downside is it doesn't have the networking port, but honestly that isn't really a downside these days.

This would be your cheapest solution to getting a harddrive working on your ps2. Just this and a harddrive.

u/DragoonClawNZ · 1 pointr/ps2

Outside of the official PS2 & PS3 cable, the best I can recommend for a new one is by HD Retrovision. Identical video quality to the official cables and solid build https://www.amazon.com/HD-Retrovision-PlayStation-Premium-Component/dp/B07H3F94ZN

u/Sirotaca · 2 pointsr/ps2

Yes, component is better than S-Video. S-Video is still decent, though. In either case, make sure to use high-quality cables, because that does matter for analog video.

u/coreykill99 · 1 pointr/ps2

I bought this https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0778HN4KQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

a replacement HDD adapter for my ps2 upgrading it to SATA as the only IDE I had laying around was pretty small in size. it works for me perfectly and to make the deal even sweeter transferring the ISO from my discs to the HDD is done in something like 1/3 of the time as when I was using a bunch of converters to IDE, think that topped out at like 3MB/s or so, took like 10 mins to move a single 4gb game. I dont believe the network part works but I wasn't using that anyway. I just put my OEM adapter in a box in case I would ever need it down the road.

u/bobdamnit · 2 pointsr/ps2

Do you also need the power cable? I believe the PS3 power cable will work. So will any Vizio TV power cord, as well as a few assorted electric razor cords, boombox cords, and some older printer/scanners. (This only applies to the fat models!)

As for the video cables... We need to know a little more about your TV. Does it only do composite (3 plugins) or will it also do component (5 plugins)? If it will do component, I'd go with those. It's a much clearer picture on modern flat screen TV's.

Composite cables (Amazon): https://www.amazon.com/PlayStation-2-Composite-AV-Cable-PlayStation2/dp/B00004U8QX

Keep in mind, the links to the first 2 are for the sake of example. If you spend time looking around, you might be able to find a better price for those. The idea is that you're basically installing the game on the PS2 like you would on a PC, so that way you don't need the game disc to play.

Thank for the info, I had some misconceptions but you cleared them up. I'll probably get the setup you stated above when I have my own ps2 (seems a bit pricey for a donation to my university), currently i'm going to setup a PS2 for some club in my university (out of my pocket).

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

u/128bitz · 3 pointsr/ps2

You need a fat PS2, and network adapter to put a hard drive in your PS2. The official one only supports IDE drives, so you need either a third-party network adapter, or a network adapter mod kit if you want to use SATA hard drives.

PS2 game backups can be played off the hard drive with a program called OPL (Open PS2 Loader). See my comment in this thread for more information about using OPL with hard drives.

All this assumes of course that you're already running FreeMcboot. More info on that can be found here

u/TempusCavus · 1 pointr/ps2

there's this thing https://www.amazon.com/Panlong-Converter-Adapter-Output-Monitor/dp/B00D875R5K

I don't know how well it works. generic composite to hdmi do add some input lag and stretches the image into 16:9.

I got a 2002 toshiba crt with 3 inputs and an output for $20 at a thrift store. do some shopping those are your best bet.

I would definitely recommend this if it weren't so pricey nowadays.

This became my daily driver back in the day when I had my PS2 across the room from my bed and was scared to have it fall in the floor from pulling the controller too far back.

u/CaCtUs2003 · 2 pointsr/ps2

Don't buy cheap replacements because they break more easily and generally don't last as long.

I recommend getting an official replacement manufactured by Sony themselves, but if you're feeling venturous and are considering going off-brand, try the Logitech G-X2D11. (Not recommended for fighting games mainly because of the d-pad)

I have one of these. It was the first thjng I bought totry go connect mg ps2 to mh computer monitor. It didnt do anything. And thinking about it now Im not sure even what its supposed to do or how it would do it. I eventually had to get a video signal converter.

Yeah the problem is caused by the fact that my cable and most cheap cables on eBay/Amazon are not shielded. Just get this.

I bought this and couldn't be happier with it.

There's also this thing, which is pretty similar to the adapter thing you linked, but I believe it also doesn't have any audio break out options. Though, it would be cheaper and wouldn't come all the way from UK.

When you eventually start buying new stuff, I recommend looking for some sort of optical to RCA/3.5mm adapter, because I have heard that PS2's internal digital to analog converter is kind of noisy, and wont produce the best possible quality through the AV connection. Optical out would be circumventing this, though I have never tested this myself.

I used one for mine. This specifically should work with most HDTVs. I say most because I have no idea if a 4K TV for example has it.

I just did the research for this exact thing. When I'm back in the US in a few weeks, I'll be getting this:

These seem to have practically no delay.

You'll also need a video cable with RGB component output:

You can also get McBoot memory card and ethernet/hdd adapter so you can play your games off a hard drive. Edit: assuming you have a fat ps2. If you have a slim ps2, you can still use an external USB hard drive without the ethernet adapter iirc.

You can install FHDB on the HDD, that's FMBC for hard drives, i don't know about SD cards, but you can create cheats for games with Codebreaker for HDD, making that action replay thingy useless.

Btw, there's a 250gb IDE HDD for only $22.
