So, what's the problem you're having with LFS?

I don't know of any adapters, but if your computer's video card supports Video In then it would be easy. Usually cards with TV tuners have this functionality.

W4H you've been very helpful, as usual.

Thats exactly what ive got But I DO NOT RECOMMEND IT. The lag is about 6 seconds, because it has to process it travel etc, and I believe it doesnt develop graphics as good as the tv would (My graphics card is a geforce with 256mb).

Yea I forgot to mention that, I tried my old PSX on my PC, and the controller lags by a couple of seconds. Don't know why though...

But I remember playing a Gamecube once on my PC and it didn't lag, so I guess not all systems have this problem.

This the only thing I can think of

It says its for XBOX/XBOX 360 but you should be able to get component cables for the PS2 and it should work the same way.

I hope this helps you.

The lag is because you are using a tuner card with an onboard MPEG-2 encoder. The input signal gets encoded and the PC only gets to see the MPEG-2 stream and the whole encoding process takes a while.

If it's a PCI card it should be possible to disable the encoder and use the raw, instant data. If it's USB it probably won't be possible.

The only software that has acceptable deinterlacing quality for video games is DScaler. So if you don't have a card that works with DScaler you can either get one (http://www.amazon.com/LeadTek-WinFast-TV2000-Analog-Capture/dp/B0007NOUEC/ref=pd_bbs_sr_3/002-6110248-7450454?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1197222370&sr=8-3) or for less hassle get one of these (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16815260010) instead.

Now what was this "LFS" thing again? :scratchch Link for Screen?

2 simple steps:

1) Move your monitor aside
2) Put your TV on the desk, where the wheel is

you can plug a 360 right in the back. There are the smaller ones like the 20" that you can get if this one is tooexpensive, they have the video in plugs as well.

I have a AverMedia TV tuner thing which came free with a PC. It has AV and S-Video ports on it.

I tried running a PS2 through it sometime ago and it worked fine. I didn't experience any lag whatsoever.

Not yet tried the S-Video port out yet but I'm guessing I'd be able to see another PC in the AverTV viewer?
