Easy HDMI Mod For The PlayStation 2

[@raymondjack]

[@hiRyan329329]

Just use with a nice upscaler/deinterlacer or something. This chip is just a hdmi converter without any of those capabilites hence why he got all the bouncing without going into progressive mode (very few PS2 games have this mode). Its also how they can claim zero latency (its not doing anything really)

You won't get many easier soldering jobs than this when it comes to modding consoles

[@DaussPlays]

This is a very easy solder job compared to other mods. Looks like something even a beginner could do tbh.

[@orion78fra]

It's an "easy" soldering job, because it's soldered on through-hole component with large separated pads and not on surface mounted components with really close legs. As long as you have flux and an iron, it shouldn't be that hard.

[@MrRobarino]

Why don't you just man up and admit you don't know how to solder instead of trying to debate the meaning of the word "easy"? Like any skill, it always becomes easier with practice.

[@TheGershon]

Unless you have particularly shaky hands, this level of soldering is extremely easy with the right equipment

[@RiderNexus]

The fact this also supports the Xbox and Dreamcast has my ears perk up If it can support even more systems, this could be huge

it can, it will work on the ps1 using the vga option, and the wii. I've been wondering if it will work for a Vic-20 honestly

[@ghqst777]

@DarkSerge34 True, however I'm trying to convert as many of my retro consoles from analog to HDMI as cheaply and as quickly as possible. For the price with its flexibility, I've already ordered several for different consoles and projects. Converting old Mini-HDMI analog projects I've already completed for example to give them a full-size port is a dream come true.

[@ghqst777]

[@DragonSlayerMJC]

Great video, I used the same adapter on my Clear Blue Phat PS2. Removed the optical out and mounted a micro hdmi instead of cutting the case. For the price and ease of install this is a great option that provides good video output. Installed one in my crystal Xbox as well after my xboxhdmi stopped outputting video on me.

[@mnomadvfx]

The amount of visible movement in that PCB when you plug in the HDMI cable shows the design really needs an extra pair of mounting screws for stability.

[@md_vandenberg]

How often are you plugging/unplugging? I setup my HTS with several consoles 5 years ago and have yet to touch any plug, HDMI or otherwise.

[@BioGenx2b]

Great review! I do think you should've reiterated briefly on the interlaced jitter issue, as that can be jarring for some, but I acknowledge that you did already go over it just before. Just nice to have it in the Cons section for those who skip around so they don't forget what they're getting.

[@andershertzkristensen6484]

We need more channels like this on KZbin

[@StrytheX]

Nice vid. Hadn't considered going internal with it myself. The Analog2HDMI board is great! I rigged one up a few years back in an empty SNES cart with Component jacks and a micro USB port for 5v power. Been using it with my Xbox, PS2, and Wii since. Once you start playing the interlacing jaggies are less annoying - to me at least.

[@SquickWorks]

Definitely going to pick one up for my Dreamcast, and maybe some of my Gamecubes and N64s too! So great to finally see a more affordable and simple HDMI solution for older consoles.

[@YouNameItGaming]

If you have the earlier model gamecube with the digital video out, the best bet is probably a digital to HDMI as there's no soldering, no opening the case, you just plug it on and it's a pure digital connection. It's what I'm looking at, but from memory they're about $100 Australian to buy and ship it to me. I haven't made the purchase yet, as I'm still looking for my controllers

[@yayo7490]

After a week of binge watching macho nacho that smooth jazz is an extremely welcome addition to your filler music

[@ViewtifulSam]

I'm very happy this product exists, it sits nicely in a gap between cheap external converters and full digital to digital console-specific mods.

[@kalmtraveler]

it really has no reason to exist though. It adds the complexity of an internal mod but only provides analog-to-digital functionality which has already been available as cheaper external solutions for a long time. This is basically the worst kind of video connectivity solution. If you only want an HDMI connector, just buy a cheaper PlayStation to HDMI adapter which literally is the same thing and doesn't require any modification (plus can be easily switched between consoles). If you want to do an internal mod, save your lunch money and buy a true digital-to-digital HDMI mod kit for the best possible video output and more features.

[@ViewtifulSam]

@@kalmtraveler This is a general purpose mod, I'm sure for some console scenes it will be one of the best options available when it comes to an internal mod. Plus, it's somewhat of a simpler mod since you'll probably solder to easier points (output connectors rather than e.g. GPU pins). Finally, it can be a cool project for someone who likes this kind of tinkering but is doing this to a console that either doesn't have a dedicated digital-to-digital mod available, or is simply not their favorite console ever so they don't necessarily care that much about getting 100% quality. Also the price differential can get more substantial depending on the exchange rates the person is dealing with (for those of us in other countries), though in this specific case the shipping cost makes this point moot. As stated, I simply think it's neat to have an in-between solution available and I'm sure each person can decide on their own if it makes sense for their setup or DIY project!

[@kalmtraveler]

@@ViewtifulSam I understand as stated. Just saying that this doesn't offer anything new. People have been internally wiring external component-to-HDMI adapters for quite a while, and you can find some of those for lower cost than this kit. I'm not saying that you shouldn't tinker if you just want to tinker, rather that from a value or quality proposition this specific kit does not bring anything new and could be swapped for better options.

[@ViewtifulSam]

@@kalmtraveler Yeah, from a purely practical standpoint I can see your point for sure. The use cases are probably quite niche

[@blindsniper9794]

While an internal mod is a cleaner solution, if you're not doing digital to digital it's pretty unnecessary as component to HDMI converters are cheap and abundant and aren't limited to being used with 1 console, and if the system is otherwise stock, I wouldn't want to start with a mod like this. Otherwise, this could be a great mod for cleaning up a retro-setup.

[@blindsniper9794]

My only other critique would be that, while not quite as small, you could likely achieve the same result with the Wii2HDMI circuit board, save the VGA integration, and last I checked you could get those for $2 a piece depending on where you go.

[@itchyisvegeta]

I got a spare PS2 that's soft modded, and this is perfect for that. Thanks, glad this is a thing.

[@Chickenbreadlp]

This really feels like an internal, more generic version of the external adapters Electron Shepard is already selling for the OG Xbox, Wii and PS2 (tho the PS2 one requires an additional USB-C powerbrick). I guess it's a pretty good option for those who do not want something sticking out their console, want a simple HDMI solution on the Dreamcast or don't want to deal with an extra power adapter for the PS2...

[@197Reaver]

I Would Love to See a Videos About This for The OG Xbox and Dreamcast. As Always Another Great Video. Thank You.

[@Tron08]

Am I wrong in thinking this will provide the same picture quality as a cheap component => HDMI adapter?

[@S-G-zm3uu]

Probably not, the only reason i see to use this over one of those cheap adapters is the convenience of not having to have that thing stick out the back and then power it with an external cable

[@MachoNachoProductions]

You are correct. You can achieve the same results with an external converter

[@javieraleman2989]

You can get a Rad2x and use it to output RGB with line multiplier. Plus you can use it with multiple systems and the same cable can be used with the ps1

This is great, as much as I would love to have the fxpixel mod, that price range is out of the question, especially since it’s such a difficult install I would risk possibly breaking the ps2 or the mod itself. Great video!

[@Kylefassbinderful]

I actually like the picture from the ElectronAnalog over the PixelFX. That generation of graphics was still a bit jumpy for my tastes so getting the blur from the digital>analog>digital is actually a blessing. In my honest opinion though you should play PS2 games on a CRT. PS3 and XBOX360 are where I start to move into digital display territory. The only old console I really appreciate HDMI or digital mods is the N64. The PS1's lack of FPU makes their graphics look terrible on anything new. I need those fixed 480 lines to smooth some of it out.

[@sherlyholmes2665]

I have to ask the question; Why didn't you use the TOSLink for digital audio? If this product has a digital audio option, the TOSlink is right next to the AV port and is present on all PlayStation 2 consoles I have ever seen. It would not only give a perfectly clean audio signal, but offer the option for surround sound too.

[@MineveraMacDougal]

I'm seconding this. Would have just been one less wire to fuss over had he just done that.

[@hardkore360]

A lot of newer devices (TVs) don't have this input, and would require an A/V receiver to take that signal in. A/V receivers are just not as popular anymore either.

[@lucifermorningstar910]

That mini ps2 is pretty dope!

[@sylvainfx]

I really wish this existed for the SNES 😍

[@brandonkick]

It is interesting that this doesn't support RGB video. If it did, you'd be able to use it on SNES, RGB modded N64s, even RGB modded NES consoles. EDIT: Actually this does accept RGB looking at the solder mask. But it's RGB HV. I don't think that'll work as the SNES outputs RGBS? I could be wrong though, I'm not an expert!

[@iyatemu]

​@@brandonkickFor $19, I think it's worth trying to use it with RGBS. Just connect the sync line to the H or V. Some RGB-capable devices are intelligent enough to tell if a Csync signal is connected, and this one can seemingly already tell if a signal is YPbPr (Which is sync on Luma, basically a BW composite signal) or RGB. If it doesn't work, just try it in another console (or with S-video since it also supports Y/C)

[@MrPipDarty]

While inexpensive, If I am going to teardown and solder internal mods I will go for internal upscaling mods like a retro scam (gem). Could be a great board for making your own custom external adapter though, or replacing a damaged AV jack to avoid all the proprietary ones on older consoles.

[@DrLilo]

Maybe I'm just not the target audience for this one, but I feel like I want plug and play convenience from analogue to digital solutions. If we're internally soldering something, I want it to be digital to digital.

Finally a mod that isn't way more powerful than the console it's supposed to go in. The product description doesn't say it, but it's a CV9886-based board. I think I saw a dongle or two that have the same IC. BTW, the cheap (3$ a piece) M59288A-based dongles work just as good...

[@ivey77426]

most of those dongles have issues with either gamma, color, brightness or both. And how this particular mod handles interlacing is simply not acceptable in my opinion.

@@ivey77426 idk man. I think I've bought mine just before the ic shortage happened and... well, it worked without any issue. Maybe I'm lucky or something, but I don't really see that many problems with converters now. Well, video-wise that is.

[@adonian]

I was gonna ask about latency, since it's going from Digital to analog and bake again. THX for all your awesome videos. I wish I had the skill to do all your mods. I have all my retro machines, but I don't want to mess them up.

[@tigheklory]

This is basically a component to HDMI adapter you install inside the console. I would be interested in making a 3D printed box for it so you can plug HDRetrovision cables into it.

[@mjc0961]

Wait, I don't understand the idea of a 3D printed box for this for HD Retrovision cables. If you want to use HD Retrovision cables, surely you would just plug them into the PS2's analog video out port?

[@tigheklory]

@@mjc0961 I mean attach RCA connectors this board put it into a box and use it with HDRetrovision cables to convert the component video output to HDMI, basically so you don't have to install it inside the PS2 and use it with other consoles but since it doesn't support 240p it's usefulness would be limited as most consoles output 240p

[@techloidtech2051]

So really this is an internal HDMI cable adapter mod... seems kinda pointless.

@@RdCrestdBreegull The HDMI kit may not add latency, but your TV will, they usually add a few frames of lag for deinterlacing. Dedicated retro scalers can do good motion adaptive deinterlacing without any added latency, but they cost far more than this kit.

I feel like the real target audience for this is game stores and similar console resellers. I feel like if you have the skills to do an internal mod you could save up and do a more advanced one if it's for your personal ultimate console.

[@garydiamondguitarist]

As much as I love mods like this - and I do - there's always other solutions including not needing to use a dedicated converter box to go Component to HDMI and that's the only thing it does. As much as for Tito something like this is "easy", it still requires intricate micro soldering with steady hands and small cables, where you need to really check you haven't bridged any connections or made dry solder joints. I have an inexpensive all-in-one type game capture box made by AVerMedia - Game Capture HD II C285 I believe. Not only does it record video because it has 2 inputs (Component and HDMI) but only one output (HDMI) it actually does convert Component to HDMI signal, and always correctly without interlace flicker being passed through the HDMI. So I record game footage from most consoles I own (PS2, PS3, PS4, Wii U, all jailbroken/softmodded) and also make the PS2 work even with modern 4K TVs and monitors that have long since done away with legacy inputs. Using an OPL build with GSM on the PS2 allows you to get up to 1080i from the PS2 as well, which can help for recording sharper video. I'd recommend a solution like that to anyone, especially since I paid very little for mine and it even comes with a little remote control to stop/start recording, manage files etc. I wish AVerMedia would make another all-in-one standalone for 4K consoles like the PS4 Pro, Series X etc.

[@leonlegend]

I literally just made my ultra slim PS2... Not that I would have done this anyway. The fact that my TV has a SCART connection & shipping over to Europe is more expensive costs more than I think it's worth doesn't make me regret not waiting longer.

[@mjc0961]

Hmm. Guess I'll keep hoping for a cheaper digital to digital mod for the PS2, something that isn't too expensive because it doesn't do upscaling and effects and expects us to use a RetroTINK 4K or Morph. Still though, this is cool for people who just want HDMI out without sweating the details, and keeping the price extra low. Definitely has a place in the market.

[@TheGershon]

Does it do any scaling, or does it spit out the native 448/480 resolution? Also, I'm curious if it displays in 4:3 or 16:9, since most of your offscreen footage is in widescreen.

[@carnivol]

This is a neat mod, but does it work properly when you play PS1 games? A lot of the external HDMI-adapters for the PS2 does not work properly when playing PS1 games, so it'd be interesting to know if this works properly when playing PS1 games on the PS2.

I'm not sure about this one. It's obviously a good quality product, but if I'm going through the trouble of opening up the console, soldering and modding the case to fit, I might as well get a digital to digital mod to get the best quality, even if it's harder to install. Now, if this had an HDMI plug instead of a port, it could be used to mod an existing AV cable without even touching the console. I think that would be an interesting product.

What about instead of modding inside the console if this can be used for turning a PS2 component cable to an HDMI cable? That way if someone has a spare cable laying around they don't mind splicing, or if they prefer a No-Cut HDMI solution. Just an idea I had.

This isn't really a traditional HDMI mod but it does look cleaner than a plug and play adapter. Electron shephard is working on one for the PS2 I'll probably just get that instead

The ogx already has a similar mod where you use a wii2hdmi. Those things are dirt cheap and are just basic component to hdmi converters

This kis legit would do for 98% of people looking for HDMI out.
