This CHEAP PS2 to HDMI - My Favorite Solution for 2022 !!

[@jamaalfox6692]

I am on a paid layoff from work. I have lots of time on my hands going to pull out the ps2 and look into getting a ps2 to hdmi adapter

[@FezCaliph]

I hope you are doing well!

[@algenispimentel7391]

Im in the same boat lol i just received the ps2 to hdmi and it looks horrible in my 65 inch im very disappointed

[@khreiguyton6525]

That's the best comment I've seen in 2023

[@holgerwikingsen713]

I bought mine after watching your previous PS2 HDMI solutions comparison video a couple of weeks ago. To my surprise, I was previously using component cables (the very same you have shown in this video) and while the image looks good with them, my tv does not support 240p over component for PS1 games. But with the PS2 to HDMI not only the image looks exactly the same as before but now I can play 240p PS1 games over HDMI !!! (oh and again, using the same tv/monitor you are using in this video, a slightly different/older model number but from the same generation, it looks the same externally at least).

[@daveandlouise123]

Just upgraded my TV to a 55" which no longer has the component connection, so I'm gonna get one of these. Thanks for the great comparisons, much love from England

[@HMCuber]

How was it? Is the image quality of games good

[@Emet-wd5mz]

@@HMCuber am curious too :D I also have the same problem, I buyed 55" TV and it doesnt have AV input so am kinda curious how the image will look like. But Am goin to order that HDMI converter anyway and I will see.

[@HMCuber]

@@Emet-wd5mz From my research, the actual quality of ps2 games with this HDMI adapter will vary depending on your TV. I believe the newer the TV the worse by nature the graphics will be a bit less crisp because the ps2 wasn't made for these newer tvs. I believe the hdmi adapter will allow you to get the best quality you can though, and it will also make the ps2 full screen.

[@Emet-wd5mz]

@@HMCuber I ordered one so I will see in like a month till it arrive to Europe :D

[@Emet-wd5mz]

@@HMCuber SOOOO update :D I got it, conected it to my TV, did a lil corections and boyyyyyy that PS2 on that huge ass TV looks AMAZING. Like its not 4K or something but its not so low res as I tought it would be. Some part of it is even sharp like it was native resolution. For 5€ it was great deal. Now am thinking what to add next cuz I have now these HDMI adapter, home theater, NAS server that is conected to PS2 via internet, multitap, free mc boot and even a hard wired modchip. I think that I am done with my PS2 :D

[@neoaliphant]

Thank you so much, i bought the same device and thought my old PS2 was dead....with help of this video im back up and running

[@jonhall3151]

This dongle works very well. Also works great on my ps3, which I found when the hdmi output died on that machine. Only gripe is that the power port is in an odd place and is in the way of the hdmi port. Bad design choice, but otherwise good product.

[@Malario80]

Hey, can it output 1080p when you use it on ps3?

[@kaylecotton4795]

Didn't have any way to change the settings so I blindly did it through your navigation of the menu. Worked like a charm

[@n8ivegogo1]

Just got mine & OMG it’s a Bajillion times better 😁 Thank you for sharing this AWESOME Converter‼️👍👏

[@BarrySmoother]

Where are you even supposed to find the information on what's compatible with what model. 70% of these comments are people asking if their PS2 is compatible.

[@atneucetsidet]

Ps2 to hdmi Image quality is awesome, otherwise the problem is the fps, are almost the half than using a good component cable. I wish if you would make a comparison of this. Please!🙏🏼

[@AaronDavis057]

i just found your channel and love for this device, i was thrilled to see you prefer this one as i made a similar discovery when using other cheap av-hdmi dongles and such. definitely prefer this one

[@RaiZdbyDINGOES]

Just ordered one. Seen a few vids on this on your channel. Looks like the best one, and at $5 Australian. A pretty good deal. I have component cables but they're pretty cheap and offer a slightly better picture. I think it probably looks better as it doesn't offer any type of upscaling. It's just the raw component image. You can always use GSM to handle that

[@MichaelM28]

You'll regret it. The image quality is terrible and the adaptor adds a ton of input lag.

[@RaiZdbyDINGOES]

@@MichaelM28 Really? Oh well. Can't expect too much at $5. If it's that bad I'll just stick with component. Not willing to pay over $100 AU for an OSCC as that's just over kill in my situation.

[@zockeromi1970]

PS2 HDMI solutions work really well now

[@franckyrocky]

The "PS2 to HDMI" is the HDMI dongle I use with my PS2 fat. Good for the price.

[@WhiteJarrah]

What do you mean the PS2 to HDMI does not work with every system? All PS2's support YPbPr. If you are not getting a picture, the component output mode is probably set to RGB. You need to first go into the settings and make sure the PS2 is set to output YPbPr.

[@WickedGamerCollector]

Some .. the first generation Phat models don't have component out so dongle can't be used.

[@sikamikanico04]

it works ok and it’s cheap and easy to use, but for some games it’s no good. it makes some games look out of proportion, and in most cases it ruins the brightness making any game with dark sequences unplayable

[@djklink20009]

btw the flat ps2 doesn't need the usb cable for ps2 games & at 4:23 progressive scan would have worked there and looked better

[@NBAxBaller]

thank you for the video! i ordered a Mayflash brand and i was seeing no signal, and was about to return it, until i saw this video about going to the settings first.

[@JakobusStel-fv8dq]

I've got a 4k tv, and I connected just what you did but no response. What do I wrong???

[@AwfulMartian1]

[@MannyKunV]

2:45 i wanted to get one of these for my ps1/ps2, but i dont want to run extra power cables around. you are telling me you can just plug the usb into the playstations usb port and it will work???

[@RDJ134]

I own one, but never used it. Got it on the begin of the pandemic, and trew it in a drawer and that is where it is still today. But going to use it in the futre, when i upgrade my console with a HDD/MX4iso thing.

[@cftonghop]

mine is work at firstbut then it got no signal, don't know how to fix it. Can you help me out Sir?

[@realwelder3529]

I got the PS2 to HDMI dongle and am really happy with it. I originally had cheap component cables and a Portta hdmi adapter. The picture wasn't bad at all, but the Portta sometimes shows these "ghost lines" that drive me nuts. I popped for the HD retrovision cables and the PS2 to HDMI dongle. Straight into component input on my tv the HD Retrovision cables have a much better image than the cheap cables, but through the Portta they perform the same. The PS2 to HDMI dongle is pretty much the same as well, but with way less wiring. Also, I never played Outrun before but had to try it to test the 480p. Amazing! The game is actually pretty easy too. Good times... So in short, if you have component input... get the HD Retrovision cables. If you only have HDMI input the PS2 to HDMI dongle is the way to go unless you have an OSSC.

[@meh78336]

I have only one issue with the ps2 to HDMI adapter is the stress it puts on the ps2 port if you have to move the console. I have no real issue with the stress it puts on adapter connector as worse case scenario, they are dirt cheap to replace. Other than that, its great bang for the buck, and so much better than the bit more expensive ps2 to hdmi cables that I thought would resolve my issues with the port stress, but seem to just be composite quality with the ugly old composite dot crawl. I ended up sticking some foam padding on the bottom in the end to just give it that bit of extra support, though I do unplug if I have to move it.

[@miguelcarneiro1192]

Hi, whitch serial numbers PS2 doesnt support this ps2 to hdmi dongle? Whitch PS2 serial numbers dont support component output?

[@Trains-With-Shane]

I actually picked one of these up "on accident" I was looking for an HDMI solution but really didn't research it too much before purchasing. Got lucky picking this one up instead of one of the poor ones.

[@thedoc5848]

Does it makes the image less fuzzy?

[@Trains-With-Shane]

@@thedoc5848 A little bit, yes. But the color saturation is pretty darn good so that helps a lot.

[@williamwilliam9993]

I recommend don't used the ps2 to hdmi adapter the preferred option was used the micomsoft/OSSC/Retrotink upscaler to get the best picture from the ps2

[@tadeuszmarin5704]

You are comparing solutions that are more than $100 to get with a $5 Chinese dongle, it's unfair. We could also argue that a Retrotink looks like shit compared to buying a good Trinitron, since that's where component looks better, and this probably will be a cheaper solution (if you have the physical space to have a heavy, bulky old tv, ofc)

Can you do a video showing it on a flat-screen TV please? I got one recently and the image quality isn't very good and I was hoping you had a solution

[@RaiZdbyDINGOES]

That's a resolution and interlace issue. You'll need an upscaler to make the picture even better. This is just a native PS2 image from this. You can use GSM on a FreeMcBoot to give you a slightly better image. But an upscaler like an OSCC is something you may want to look at
