Yes, you can by cutting half of the modem wire connecting the modem to pc and cutting half of the USB wire.Then bairing their ends so that their ends can be seen.Then join the ends by using a cello tape.Dont use any quick fix.Now just connect the modem end to the end of your ps2 and connect the USB end to your pc.Then switch on the ps2.Your pc will detect your ps2.Now put a dvd in the ps2.Then just rock.I tested it on my ps2 and it really worked

( pz help )

(What would you expect to happen if you could connect them together? That would at least be a starting point. You can;t do it so how can you say you have everythuing necessary? Tell us what you want it to do and we may be able to find a way. -PZ)

The 'only' way to do it without a modded console (which may very well involve connecting your computer to your PS2 as part of the modding process, though it's unlikely) is to connect it to the internet as you would any other wired computer: plug in an ethernet cable, and plug the other end into a router, switch, or modem. Of course, there are a number of other ways to cover it; you could use a crossover cable to connect it to a computer, for example, and then use a 'bridged' connection (two connections merged into one, each of which passes acquired data along as though it were a wire. It's a software thing) to 'feed' the incoming data to the PS2, and to 'carry away' the data the PS2 sends.

Of course, you need either a PS2 ethernet card or whatever the hell it's called now, which is probably out of production--or, you can use a 'slimline' PS2, which has a built-in one.

As for USB, I hear it's popular to do so, but I've observed that (obviously) you need a male to male USB cable. That is, one with two normal sized ends that can go into the PS2 and computer USB ports at the same time and transfer data that way.

Unfortunately, I do not believe that you can connect via a firewire (1394, as it's sometimes called--incorrectly) 4-pin cable, nor a 6-pin, 9-pin or any other pin number. Tried it, PS2 wasn't recognized. Of course, I'm running Vista, so you can expect a few oddities to crop up here and there.

Oh, also, I necroed your topic for you, have fun. It has now been up for six (6) years and counting, folks.

Is there a way to Do this? Ive hooked the system in using my USB ports. I just dont know where to go from here. Can someone give me more information

Thanx peeps

(Hi Cody. The PS2 is outside my area. I'd suggest that you go to a PS2 help web site to see what can be done. -PZ)

=p

(Plug your PS2 into a TV or you computer's monitor if that's possible, and play that way. Why bother with the PC in between? -PZ)

i would like you mails me as i assure you of connect from plug on rear of pc

(What would you expect it to do? You could also nail the two together I suppose. -PZ)

(Yes you can do that Brandon, but it has nothing to do with the original question. -PZ)

(Sorry Rob, but you'd have to find a PS2 website for that sort of info. Good luck - it should be a simple Google away. -PZ)

(I'd suggest visiting a PS2 web site for that question. -PZ)

(Sorry, I don't know but if anyone does, please let cHONG know. -PZ)

you can get the screen of the ps2 on your pc screen using a vga - Video convertor (cost about 50 euros)
or get it in windows using a tv tuner card,

in which the second is not prefered because of bad image quality.

(On Thursdays, in your pyjamas. -PZ)

(You don't. You either get a TV or you sell the PS2. You may as well say you have a car but you don't believe in putting petrol in it. -PZ)

(No you can't. -PZ)

(What are you talking about? Explain yourself. That sounds rubbish to me. -PZ)

(Very well then. It will cost $18,000 plus $4000 postage or $6000 personal delivery. Or you could read the answer above. -HelpStation)

(Unless a camera has inbuilt networking capabilities, it will need to connect to something such as a PC, then to the network. Video out is not the same as LAN out. -Paul Zucker)

(You could nail them together with big nails. Seriously, you should look for a specialty site. We don't cover consoles. -Paul Zucker)

e-mail me if you know how to do it

P.S. If any of you guys have actually got it working any other way please, please e-mail me: tylercollins995@hotmail.com

(Hi Tyler. Let me guess -- you're in the US, right? I'm pretty sure that Microsoft hasn't released a PAL version of XP Media Centre yet. We're still waiting. We're in Australia. -Paul Zucker)

Also, are there really servers on the Internet, where I can challenge other players with my PS2?"

Argh! This post topic is starting to drive me insane! READ THE QUESTION PEOPLE!!!!!!!


HE DOESN'T WANT TO WATCH OR EVEN RECORD THE GAMES HE IS PLAYING, HE WANTS TO CONNECT IT TO THE NET OR ELSE READ THE APPLICATIONS OFF THE COVER DVD OF ANOTHER MAGAZINE........!!!!!

(I'm the expert)

PCUSER you made a mistake, you were meant to say he's the idiot... HK Romeo wants to extract data not watch a movie. Everyone knows you can hook it up those ways but it still doesn't get you the programs of the DVD..

However, now that it's almost two years after the original post, I would recommend getting a DVD burner for your PC.. as shown in the PCUSER magazine. About $AU165 now for a 4x. Or else, just the basic 52x24x52x12 CDRW/DVD is just $65 these days!

P.S.. I'm still waiting for somekinda comment from someone famous at PCUSER :P

(We don't have any famous people at PC User. That's WHO magazine you want. - PZ)

and u can get ps2 emulator and uses joystick from logitech to play.

You can't connect a PS2 to your PC because there isn't any technology out yet that can let you connect them. Although technology for the PS2 and PC should be updated later this year.
