Playstation 2 Slim / PS2 to HDMI Dongle "No Signal Fix"

[@henrik2276]

Awesome! I even managed to do it without an older monitor. Just turn the PS2 and TV on, and count the same amount of taps -> One down -> X -> Three down -> X -> One left -> X, And you're good to go! Thank you!

[@MrCoolyCat]

thanks alot for the buttons it saved me alot of hassle

[@apreturns]

It just looks all corrupted then cuts to no signal

[@apreturns]

Thanks for letting my have half of a screen then completly losing it

Saved my Day. Thank you!

[@nongthip]

I spent the past week trying to make this PS2>HDMI "dongle" work with my PS2 Slim and new UHD 4K TV and was about to give up and go buy a PS5 or some expensive hard to get console and then buy all new expensive games. NO! Your videos saved me from that. Now I followed the "clicks" (down-X-down-down-down-down-X-left-X) and it finally works. All you're doing is changing the PS2's video out signal from RGB to Composite. Now it works! Thanks!

[@bojc21]

I am writing this in honor to my old TV, while trying to play my PS2 on my newer monitor, it failed to get any signal. Watching your video you showed me the solution, so I connected my PS2 to an old TV, changed from "RGB" to "Y Cb / Pb Cr / Pr" and now it works on my monitor, but I knew a little bit that it was the last deed what my old TV did for me. As I plugged my PS2 back into the TV and turned it on, I heard a loud ssssssssssssssss BANG !! And the TV is gone ... In his last breath he gave me the opportunity to enjoy my old console and games, for many days to come. RIP o7

You are such a jinx! ;)

[@VTuber_Central]

Read the top comment, no need for old tv

[@bojc21]

@@VTuber_Central Did you even read my comment that I made 2 years ago?

[@tag0693]

This video saved me..YOU DONT NEED OLD CABLES. I followed what you did and I was able to do it on a blank screen. To do it without old cable. Turn playstation on and wait a bit Go down once and press X. Go down 3 times and press X Go left once and press X. The video popped up immediately after I did that

[@tonymunford5804]

Yes thanks it worked blank screen for me too , cheers

[@bojc21]

... um how the hell i din't think of that ... lol

You are awesome, it worked !

nice one

[@connor135799]

This one should be top comment 😂

[@willofwaste]

Thanks, Instruction were clear enough, I didnt even have to plug in a RCA monitor to switch over. Did it blind and it worked like a charm.

[@guillotinebeard]

Anyone else lose signal when trying to play a PS1 game? If so were you able to fix it or do i need to swap back to original cables?

[@YourBoyMarc12]

You're a lifesaver. I finally got a PS2 again knowing I needed a HDMI converter which I got with it, and when nothing was showing up I was freaking out.

[@abbmirgamer]

I have ave mode

[@abbmirgamer]

Not HDMI

[@NOHEROTUFF]

Dude thanks a lot, it was literally just because I didn’t have it switched to YPbPr. After I switched it to that rather than RGB, the converter finally picked up the signal. Thanks a lot again man. A total life saver.

[@akpade]

How do you even switch it if you can’t see the screen bruh

[@NOHEROTUFF]

@@akpade first I used the original rgb and switched it, and then disconnected it, and connected the YPbPr.

[@rhyswalters3076]

Thankyou, I was still having issues but I then switched my HDMI Input from HDMI3 to HDMI1 and it worked. Thankyou

[@MadameRhapsody]

OH my goodness, you saved me! We spent an hour trying to get it to work, and switching it from 4 to 1 worked. Literally made me and sis burst out laughing.

[@Joatrn]

changed from RGB to Y Cb / Pb Cr / Pr worked THANK YOU !

[@brokeboi999]

How can I fix it when the signal keeps turning on and off constantly on my new Sony tv but on an older tv it works perfectly fine?

[@MrTrev80]

Never had this issue before. Bought a fat off eBay and it wouldn’t display until I changed it in the settings using the original hookups. Thanks for teaching me something new.

[@moroccanboy3385]

I wasn't having a signal because i didnt have it set on composite but on rgb and i didnt have a older tv to set it back to composite so what i did is count how many clicks down i had to go to get into the configuration to select composite thanks to your video !🤣 you have to be creative to do this but i did it ! Problem fixed and now i have a signal through hdmi . Goed werk en bedankt

[@djolence1989]

Thank you man, i managed to connect it with HDMI TV by following your steps. Press down arrow, then X, press down arrow 3 times, press X, then Left arrow, than X again :)

[@SilentMemory726]

This video really helped me fix the issue, I had no idea I had to change a setting, thanks

[@MrDavince72]

Still not quiet used to your wicked voice, but this video saved my day. the Ypbpr setting did the trick. thanks

[@final909]

Thank you so much mate, I was wondering why there was no signal. Turns out I just need to change the video settings.

[@shakiebreaks5571]

Nice one mate,I've got one of the old original fat ps2's that play ps1 games as well, couldn't get it to work for the life of me on the 4k TV, just had to unplug it all take it into the living room switch the output and take it back into the 4k room now it's working, you're a legend.

[@joesmith-qv1jf]

All ps2's play ps1 games

[@TheKayliedGamerChannel-YouTube]

Ordered one of these cheap converters from Kaico ... their description of the PS2 to HDMI actually states it's a component out, so makes sense to go into options and select that video out 👍

[@TheRandomJammy]

Thanks so much for this! I bought one of these dongles a few years back and loved it, but I had an older TV for a while so I reverted to SCART. Now I needed it again I forgot how to change the input. This video was really helpful. Thank you!

[@Twangabilly]

I have a different issue… Mine works fine even loading a game, but it only works with game menus??? As soon as you try to play a level or start a cutscene, it loses HMDI signal and the TV shows no devices. (Not just a blank screen from the PS2) Go back to a menu and everything comes back and I have a signal again

[@WickedGamerCollector]

What you can do is maybe try a game like Outrun with the special resolution. I have the feeling your TV support that weird PS2 signal with this dongle. In that case if you don't have outrun try a different monitor.

[@Twangabilly]

@@WickedGamerCollector I should have added also that I’m trying to play a PS1 game. Menus work fine but that’s it. I can feel the controller vibrate as I crash into stuff on the game

[@SerdceDanko]

​@@Twangabilly It won't work with PS1 games, you have to use composite cable for it.

[@mjcampillo]

THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO! I recently bought this adapter, but the seller did not explain that I needed to change the output from RGB. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

[@markyates6623]

Thanks Brother! PS2 up and running now.

[@WickedGamerCollector]

👍

[@The--Ghostspider66]

Funny thing is that I only had an hdmi TV Means I was blind and just literally followed through the video lol Guess what the screen poped up Can't wait to enjoy my long lost amazing experience Thanks man

[@joshuajones7613]

This works but the only problem is you need to connect to an older tv with AV inputs first to change it to Y Cb / Pb Cr / Pr. Once you change it, you can connect the the converter and it will work. Thanks for this fix!

[@alexace5584]

So I’d you don’t have an old TV you are screwed with all HDMI cables for ps2? :/

[@josefineandersen2165]

I am so happy this exist, because in no way would I ever have thought to that the reason it didnt work was because I had to plug in the USB, I thought it was a charger. Though then again I did find it weird I would have to charge it.

[@feernandoooo_]

I love you, ive been looking for a video like this for more than two years

[@jruk1981]

Thank you so much, had exactly this problem with a PS2 mini I just picked up. Have a subscriber as a thank you

i was so annoyed that mine didnt work and then i found this video and it helped. thanks bro ! the quality of picture looks pretty decent. its not perfect but its better than the expensive ones. all the cables is a bit annoying but ps2 is my all time favorite console. it has so many good games

I did this and still have the no signal

[@eventssebber7098]

Amazing your video helped me a lot and saved me from throwing out my new cable

[@leofroop]

Anyone had any issues with just cd games not displaying? The disc reads fine, I get the playstation 2 splash screen then just a blank screen before monitor shuts off from no signal, pretty sure the game is playing as I can hear the drive making noises

[@clintonandrews8237]

That’s what’s happening for me with certain games…

[@aislingcat5554]

Yep, I get this for all PS1 discs and for any region-breaking or code-loading discs. Further up the comments someone said this is a tv problem - the HDMI converter doesn't upscale the signal, so newer tvs can't process the 240i/p signal.

[@Genotypic-and-Genes]

Thank you so much I thought I got scammed turns out it was the last method that helped thanks

[@nikhildubey85]

Does ps2 to hdmi works in ps2 slim 90004 model??

[@nikhildubey85]

yes it works.. Don't thank to me

Just used this (and a guide how to blindly switch to composite on the PS2) and now my old PS2 is hooked to my new 4k TV.

[@dannyguerrieri7735]

I didn’t have it switched to YPbPr either. Fixed my signal problem. Thanks

[@nem52207]

Thank you so much for making this video! Me and my dad were confused trying to set it up but by switching it to composite we got it to work! Thank you wicked gamer, I am currently playing katamari and it looks great!

[@OutoftheHatGaming]

I know this is an old video, but thank you! I’m trying to cover PS2 games on my channel and I couldn’t figure out why my converter wasn’t working. It wasn’t even working with my capture card and on my PC lol but it was because my display settings were set to RGB. So I used the old cable and changed it. Now it works perfectly! So thank you for the help!

[@dancotter]

Thanks had to go through the settings blind to get it to change over but worked a treat 👊🏼👊🏼

[@timhowe1]

I did this solution for my original problem of no signal. Unfortunately, I'm still having an issue. At the initial start up, everything seems fine. But if there is any break in content (loading or transition) long enough I get the "no signal" message from my TV, for some reason the content once loaded doesn't "wake up" the signal again. I can tell the the game is running due to feedback from the duel shock vibration, but the signal is no longer getting to the TV. It's hit or miss with what games it does it with because some work fine. I have a theory that it keeps working as long as loading time is short enough to not trigger the signal loss warning on the TV. My question is: is there a setting om my TV or the PS2 that needs adjusting to keep my HDMI signal "awake"?

[@leifsolvik7230]

Having same issues. I see you haven't gotten a response. I wonder if I will.

[@leifsolvik7230]

I went looking through the responses for this same thing, glad it's not just me. Just need a solution now.

[@NickJamNG]

Thank you so much! I was about to return my cable before I found this video. Worked like a charm! Now I don't need to buy a DVD player!

Do I have to get the components @2:25 to use this? I can't use the OG components? I know u already explained it in the video but I just need clarification please from anyone

[@slipknotmfkrlocust8843]

Turns out my issue was not putting it on component video out lol, thanks for mentioning that. Also I know its a year old video but this PS2 has a dead CMOS battery, (The battery that keeps track of the time) so you might want to replace that, just thought I should mention.

[@robertchamberlin2362]

Thanks I was going thru the same thing right now but i had to hook up original cable and change display output ,now hdmi adapter works Thanks a bunch for this video!!!!!!

Thanks man! You helped out! My screen was very bright I had no idea what was going on

[@carito96inu]

I can only say, I LOVE YOU :') I never like to touch the settings without knowing what they change, so I probably had never tried the component part, which solved the issue in my case, Thank you so much!, I still love playing with my PS2 and always wanted to see the graphics in a better quality (mi tv makes the basic component wire's picture super blurry)

2:15 this makes no sense. Those 2 Cables look Exactly the Same with Different Colors. Where do you even get that Componant Cable? Whats that Called?

[@fantasticplastic5336]

I still have a problem with mine. It boots up without the game with no issues and you can play around in the menu. If you load a disc the playstation logo will come up then it goes to the next scene and it goes blank and of course the tv says no signal. I'm stuck with what to try next. So close but so far away lol.

[@karvapena]

Same. Found a fix?

[@SintekKliniKa]

Hello, I have a PAL PS2 and bought an Hyperkin PS2 to HDMI converter (the one with the switch for the aspect ratio). The first time, I use the composite cable for set up the PS2 on RGB and clearly follow the step by step guide but it doesn't work, only the stable red light when plugged to external power supply (5V-1A). I so tried to make the "blind" modifies (with the no signal screen) changing both the ps2 video aspect settings and the color profile to Y Cr Cb. Made every possible combination but nothing to do, still doesn't work. What can I do? It's my TV fault? I have an Hisense Vidaa H55B7120. Thanks and have a nice day!

[@andreracicot4881]

Please remember that your HDMI converter is made just for PS 2 only.

Mine all suddenly stopped working I use to just hook the HDMI without the charger cable... Haven't touched the ps2 in 4 months ..... 4 months ago was working good now.... Why all suddenly.... Stopped working.... My av output is working fine on the older wire. .... Help?.... I've tried switching the output too that YB some crap instead of RGB....

Hey guys, i got myself a ps2 with a hdmi adapter. I can hear Sound, but TV say's no signal. I keep doing the correct button inputs to enable the correct video output according to 1000's of yt videos, but i can't hear that i switch the menu points. I only hear the menu sounds when i press circle and triangle. Up and down, left right, x and square does nothing when i am at the main menu. What am i doing wrong? The controller works fine. It's the first time that i boot this ps2, so i normally remember a date and time menu or some kind. But i even tried to navigate the timezone setup blind according to a video but it does not work. I can only press circle and triangle. I reset the console. I wait 30 seconds until i only hear the background sound. Pushing buttons does nothing. When i press Triangle it does a confirmation sound, when i press cirlce it does a deeper sound. I am completly lost.
