HDMI for PS2?

[Toby83]

Does anyone know if or where you can get a HDMI cable for your ps2? I wanted to know because I am getting a new computer soon and some of the monitors have HDMI ports for your game system. (Too poor to afford a TV and computer.) :twitcy:

I ps3 cable should work on your ps2, but I'm not 100% sure. You should look online at your local Walmart. When you go to pick it up, ask if it works for the ps2 also. I don't see why It wouldn't, Sony made everything else adaptable. Plus theirs always ebay...

You can't get an HDMI cable for a PS2, but you CAN get component cables. They're better than the composite Red/Yellow/White cables, but they're not quite as good as HDMI cables.

Either way not many PS2 games are HD, Component will bring out the PS2's best.

bingo - you will need good HD games to make the whole HD part of the monitor work - the graphics won't look as great as you would expect - even if the hardware can handle HD doesn't mean the software packs the HD to be handled

It'll clean it up a bit though won't it? When I play Nocturne on my PS2 (for some reason it doesn't work on my PS3) its all fuzzy and crap. Would getting a component cable make non-HD games look better at all?

It doesn't have component video cable ports at all... It does have VGA and DVI inputs tho does anyone know if i could use thos?

[Samus-Fan]

The VGA spot is meant for VGA connectors, which carry analog components, RGBHV. That is your component cable spot

[Toby83]

uhm lol yes im somewhat of a n00b :eek1: but im still left in the dark the VGA input is only one port not 3 :confused1:

[Samus-Fan]

Hope this shows how it works.
See, the VGA is component. It splits up into the cables

I knew what you were asking, but I don't think that the PS2 supports HDMI. If it did, you could just buy one off eBay

clean it up? probably a little but not much because the game was never created to handle hi-def and the same goes for the PS2 - back then CRTs were the thing lol

and when i played my PS1 games on my PS2, i had the same feeling as you lol, doesn't look well

fudge. it's like theres this large layer of dust on top of the screen when i play non-HD games.

and yes, the difference is extremely noticable on a smaller screen.

and of course ps1 wouldn't look better on ps2, they're both set at the same definition.

and i mean, ps2 games are 480i SD. Even 480P would be good haha

and Toby83, no. PS2 does NOT support HDMI.
