114939 2003-01-19 03:24:00 I've enjoyed this thread. :D The imagination and ingenuity of teenagers (assuming XP-dition IS a teenager of course) fascinates (and amuses) me and it's a bit disappointing that there hasn't been a happy ending so far.

I wonder what would be cheaper - a 14" TV to put in your room, or a new graphics card? You can always sell the one you've got....

114940 2003-01-19 03:54:00 :):) I am now going to admit defeat :_| - The problem must be that I only have a TV Out card :| - oh well, a bit more slave labour should earn me a bit of cash :) and then i think i might just by a telly :). Thanks everyone so much for your help and suggestions :D (ps. susan b - yeah i am a teenager :P).
Until the next post,

Bummer. It would have worked. 10/10 for ingenuity anyway

114942 2003-01-19 04:39:00 Before you admit total defeat - It seems to be possible to use the playstation video out, and with a slight modification to a commercially available cable, connect the playstation straight to a monitor.

This article demonstates how, but they use an old amiga monitor instead. It MAY (or may not) be possible to adapt their method to a standard PC monitor.

Have a look anyway.

114943 2003-01-19 22:16:00 Hah, can that idea: don't bother with it unless you have an amiga monitor - i found this info:

www.absolute-playstation.com

Looks like it can't be done easily. I did find this tho, which is a commercially available box that dows the same thing - but it costs so take your pick.

114944 2003-01-20 03:11:00 Until you have done enough slave labour to be able to afford a TV an emulator might be a good idea after all..... :p Susan B (19)
114945 2005-12-28 18:39:00 hey .. i can't download the program .. plz anybody help me .... maky_halimo (3027)
114946 2005-12-28 19:43:00 The link was almost 3 years old, you shouldn't have expected it to work. Haze (3028)
114947 2005-12-28 21:20:00 What you want to achieve is very possible and quite easy but only if you have graphics card that has video in or a video capture card .

I had my X-box hooked up to my PC at one stage through my Winfast TV tuner card . It worked great . Basically all I had to do was choose the appropriate source from the Winfast PVR software and boom there it was X-box on my 15 inch LCD .

So if you're still keen on doing this then you would have to get a TV card or a video capture card . . . basically you need a video in somewhere to see the PS picture .

Hope that helps a bit .

cheers
