Title: Gaming Console
Post by: macfan007 on January 06, 2005, 10:22:27 pm
Hey guys,

I have a eMac 1.25 Ghz G4 and a playstation 2.  Currently my computer is upstairs while my PS2 is downstairs.  Is there an adapter that will allow me to play my PS2 on my eMac.  It seems if the older macs could do it (horrible quality I know) then the eMac or other macs should be able to do it.

Thanks for  your help.

the older macs could do what? there is no adapter that allows you to play a ps2 game on a mac. there was one for ps1 games... but never one for ps2. what u are probably talking about is an adapter that allows you to connect your ps2 console to the mac display (except iMacs or eMacs) to use it as monitor, just like your tv.

There are however ps2 Emulaters that allow you to run your games on your mac

I'd suggest that if you have a PS2, play your PS2 games on your PS2...I don't really know what benefit playing on the Mac would offer...worse controls, worse performance.

As to using a VGA adapter to play on a computer monitor...that wouldn't work with an eMac since it isn't a VGA monitor, doesn't have an video imput AFAIK either.

Get an Xbox, throw the PS2 out of the window. Problem solved.

Speaking of an Xbox, where have you been?

I haven't been on Xbox in quite a while. Halo 2 is gone, i'm done with it. CC: First Strike is the next game i'm gonna hit up on XBL.
