Hooking up a PS2 to a PC?

[Mathew81]

I just got a new computer and I can plug the PS2 cords right into the front of it. I've been trying to get it to work through Windows Media Center but haven't had any success. Anybody know if it's possible?

I would like to do this so I don't tie up a TV that others want to use.

You have to have a TV card. If you do, you will need to switch the channel to video input whichever one it's plugged into. It depends on your software... sometimes it's switched on the control panel, sometimes it's before channel 2. I've not done this with media center, but it should work the same.

I do have a TV tuner built-in.

Then all you need to do is figure out how to switch the tuner to video 1 (or whichever video in it is) and you'll be set.
