I'm using the Acer Aspire 5920g, that has an s-vid, vga and hdmi port

but if lets say i would to link it up with a ps2 to play, how can i use my laptop so that I can have sound and gaming experience on my laptop?

how do i go about for this setup?

and how about for an lcd monitor as well? how do i go about for setup?

please help! thanks!

i believe ur laptop interface is out..not in..its s-vid out...vga-out and hdmi out..so no u cant..unless u buy a usb tv tuner or sumtin

lol...now yet i nvr c people play ps2 on notebook displays.Desktop monitor got la..but u need a TV card or a converter.Costs u about 200+

What you need is a VGA Box. I think Costs around RM250 at Sri Computers. It uses USB connection and has component, composite, s-video input if I'm not mistaken. Need to double check...

yeah usb tv-tuner
the quality will be lesser than TV
dun say i din warn you
can see obvious blurring

Thanks guys
So it's possible to use this TV-Box thing for both laptop and lcd monitor?

any screenshots that show obvious quality differences?

and how about sound?
will there be a lag in gaming ?

Maybe u just go and dl the emulator for PC would be better!

won't emulators compromise quality?

any other help peeps? very much appreciated!
help help

emulator sux
i rather go for the real thing

emulator for...? Something to emulate the vga-box? Such thing exists? If it's regarding PS1, PS2, etc. emulator, it's illegal to discuss it here.

i tot the emulator is legal without the bios

yea i'm going for the real thing too, thus require some assistance on which hardware do i get to get best game performance and sound but using LCD/laptop LCD as screen for gameplay

please improvise! thanks people!

Please improvised? Improvise on what (the answers)? What say you if you try to improvise on your Google searching you'll get even more...

I have searched google man. hahaha but can't find solutions. Am sure there are hardware like pcmia tv tuners for laptops but is that the only solution?

and even so, that is for visual. how about audio?can i line in to use my laptop speakers as the audio source?

as for emulators, even the PS3 is having trouble emulating ps2 games with the help of the graphics systhesizer. and the 40gb ps3 has no ps2 b/c due to the lack of hardware support (software only emulation = unfeasable)

@Salience you can connect the stereo output into your laptop line in port. youneed to use an adapter though - 3.5mm

so I just need to get an adapter that uses the audio chord from the ps2 wires (one of the red yellow white wires right?) and use it with an adapter for the 3.5mm jack and then put it into the line-in socket right?

and then i'll need a tv box after? tv tuner card thing?

how much will a whole package like this cost?

performance all same for tv tuners?

ya finally install a software called Dscaler

that's to align grahpics, right?

will the graphics look as good as it is on tv? and will there be a lag in display?

Graphic quality on the laptop depends on the Graphic card of the LAptop.Lousy graphic card,lousy and laggy display.

yo. i got sell the box. refer to my links at my sig. IMO, better play on tv.. i dont know about laptop, but on normal monitor, sucks like hell.
