Buy the game for PC.

I looked into this. There are TV adapters for the PC. But there is a bit of a delay. Enough to make the game pointless.

Never tried it, but that's what i've been told.

Did you just make a roadtrip to VA?

How many dents do you have in your folding chair?

I think the posters are confused in this thread, kjedmondson182. It seems people think you want to play a game on your notebook, and pipe the display out to a television. From what I read, you want to play a game on your PS2, and pipe the display out to your notebook's screen.

Unfortunately, I don't think there's a way to do it. Your Powerbook doesn't have any video inputs, so that kills the idea.

I've hooked my PS2 to my PC with an ATI TV wonder card in it without problems. No delays. For anotebook, especially an Apple, finding a way for TV input will be a problem.

I know u can do it with a regular moniter via a rca to adaptor but I dont think it would work for a laptop unless you hooked up a tv tuner card to your laptop and then hooked the ps2 into that.
