Well the main issue on the ps2 is that the poligons are rendered in very low resolution....the only system of that generation is not able to use vga.... With emulation you can change that....and picture quality looks much nicer...😀 Great video my friend

[@RetroRaider]

Thanks RGF ;) I've been messing a lot with the PCSX2 emulator and I mean WOW =O the PS2 games look so good through that emulator.

9:06 can the ps2 fat model play blue disc

[@RetroRaider]

Yes

[@pointblank0020]

Sabes se esse aparelho funciona num monitor? Penso que não , acho que envia um sinal interlaçado, em vez de progressivo. Mas era bom de saber...

[@RetroRaider]

Julgo que não meu caro, mas nunca tentei.

[@Cascadia007]

what recording device did you use for the composite and hdmi ?

[@RetroRaider]

I used an Elgato

[@SuperKillersz]

Does it work if I try to play PS1 games with the ps2

[@RetroRaider]

Unfortunately no my friend. Just PS2.

[@JeffzBeard]

Cool review =) I was thinking about getting a PS2 to HDMI converter..would this work desent for streaming?

[@RetroRaider]

Well, you should check it is compatible with your capture device. It works with the Elgalto thought.

[@piadodopardal]

Sem dúvida alguma: CRT com um cabo RGB da Gaming Fun 😎🔥 Para ser honesto, nunca pensei encomendar um desses adaptadores HDMI para minha PS2. Mas boa review! Abraço 😎

[@RetroRaider]

Vou arranjar um da Gaming Fun 80 brevemente hehe. Abração

[@kayonji]

Honestly it looks like it simply outputs the standard composite cable quality through HDMI cable, they look just the same on your comparison, only that HDMI has slightly more contrast... Using component cables still looks like the best PS2 soluction if you're on a budget.

[@RetroRaider]

THe thing is that, in person it looks way diferent from the capture device, but It does makes a diference ;) Cheers my friend.

[@tonyclifton6116]

With my TV I have to use an rca to hdmi cable, my question is how would the graphics look while using this converter just want to make sure before I buy this item.

[@RetroRaider]

If you have to use RCA to HDMI, I dont even know if this would work.

[@NivexGameplays]

Olá! :) I prefer to play on the original hardware (Ps2 Slim) but there are plenty of alternatives to this "Ps2 to Hdmi" more expensive but worth for the quality! Cool Review!

[@RetroRaider]

I'll be having some really interesting custom made RGB PS2 cables ,) Abraço

Does 4K Roku tv works with this ps2 to hdmi adapter

[@RetroRaider]

If its HDMI ports support a 480i signal, yes.

[@ryanedgley9077]

Help. Mine doesn't work.

Make sure your TV supports 480i signal through HDMI

[@RetroRaider]

Possivelmente a tua TV não suporta 480i através de HDMI =S

[@joaomalveiro7707]

@@RetroRaider Pois deve ser o caso ou acontece isso ou então dá-me só som e não imagem. Vou ter que experimentar outra coisa porque estou a ver que a Elgato não se dá bem com este dispositivo. Obrigado na mesma pela compreensão homem!!!

[@itsaPIXELthing]

That video capture looks practically identical. I can conclude that component cables are way better than HDMI signal converters. One thing you should try is to grab some games that were designed to take advantage of the real 480p signal. You have to try, for example, Shadow of the Colossus, Resident Evil 4, Tomb Raider Anniversary and Primal to see if that adapter really can show true 480p resolutions, 'cause those games I mentioned were created with component cables' users in mind. True Crime New York City is one of the most horrible games on the PS2, but with component cables outputting at 480p looks incredible ;) Keep in mind that component cables are great for LCDs, LEDs, OLEDs, etc and that's where you'll get the most out of those games designed for real 480p output. It's a not a CRT thing. Check my video if you have doubts. Cheers, mate!

[@RetroRaider]

Thank you so much for the tips Pixel. Im planing to make more videos on the topic specially for PS2 gaming. I want to try diferent chocies and setups ;) Much love for this amazing library. Abração =)

[@giancarlogerodias9627]

If you connect hdmi in the tv does it have audio already?

[@RetroRaider]

Yes. I explaine that on the video.

[@michaelmiller4496]

10:21 What? The game is so much slower for any reason?

[@RetroRaider]

PAL version

[@RetroStu82]

Awsome work man great review ✌😃 and the original image is sh......

[@RetroRaider]

Indeed, however...MUCH LOVE for the PS2 =) cheers Stu.

[@JosefRosam]

Apparently this does in fact upscale your ps2 to 720p

[@dragstar4407]

I got one .but it didn't work. I'll have to try again!

[@RetroRaider]

Make sure you use the same settings I use on this vídeo, and that your TV supports 480i signal through HDMI.

[@dragstar4407]

Will do, thanks

[@RetroRaider]

@@dragstar4407 Good luck ,)

[@sergiommsousa82]

excelente review concordo a imagem original não era grande coisa

[@ytbone9430]

No word about how the adapter handles aspect ratio? No word about lag? What settings did you use on the TV, zoom, 4:3, 16:9? The 1080i requirement of the TV (if it's true) and video settings of the PS2 are the only real information in this video, for 21 minutes, this is a bad ratio.

[@RetroRaider]

This is not a tech channel, my goal was to give my personal opinion as an end user. Fortunatly, there are hundreds of other reviews to suit everybody's needs. Thank you for watching thought.

[@sergioamorim1980]

Boas, meu amigo. Para jogar ps2 uso o antigo scart cable, mas ando a procura de um empresa que me arranje a minha antiga ps3 fat de 60 GB. Este adaptador é uma soluçao barata e que melhora um bocado mais a imagem dos videojogos. E já estão a caminho os meus cabos para a snes e megadrive da gaming fun. Abraço

[@RetroRaider]

Trata de arranjar essa PS3 ,) são bem preciosas para jogar PS1 e PS2 com um output HDMI nativo. Vais adorar os cabos amigo. Abração

[@thongquehanoi]

[@Jeronimicks]

tenho o cabo de video componente para a ps2, em alguns jogos, fica muito bom, em outros, fica uma bosta, lol, cabos do alixpress..não há milagres, mas tou a ver que com o adaptador é exactamente o mesmo

[@RetroRaider]

Nem mais, se bem que já há MUITO boa emulação de PS2 por aí ;) adorava ver um desses emuladores a correr numa PS2 mini? WHo knows ;) abraço

[@Jeronimicks]

@@RetroRaider antes disso tinha que vir uma saturn mini, ou dreamcast mini...mas ya... who knows? =)

[@RetroRaider]

Acho PS2 mais plausível simplesmente pelo facto de ser mais fácil de emular, e por ter vendido muito. Uma Saturn e Dreamcast mini bem emuladas...seria brutal também ,)

[@Jeronimicks]

@@RetroRaider sim é verdade! Era bom, ia vender de certeza 😉
