    Hi there,

    Just came up with idea, that I could plug my Playstation 2 to my notebook. But I really do not quite know how. There is a possibility of pcmcia tv turner but it was not tried by anyone I know. Are there any other options?? I do not have video input in my notebook. Any info folks??

    Most TV tuners will work, but you may suffer some input lag or quality loss.

    The only surefire way I know of to do this with on loss of quality or lag is a HAVA its a video streaming device that does the processing for you and uses Ethernet to transmit the data.

    If you have a fast computer you can look into PCSX2 also, an emulator and play the game on the computer itself. Works good for many but not all PS2 games.

    I have/use a Adaptec Gamebridge, a capture device it works with no lag but quality is not really there.
