How to Connect a PS2 to a Laptop Computer

The Sony PlayStation 2 is one of the most played and used video game systems, and it only needs a standard viewing screen for use. This allows you to connect the PS2 to a computer or even a laptop as long as the laptop is equipped to bring in the audio and video signals a standard television typically receives. Not all computers come with the appropriate connection already installed; however, it is possible to upgrade the computer in order to connect a PS2 gaming system.

Things You'll Need

RCA audio/video cables
TV tuner card

Instructions

- 1
  Install the external TV tuner card onto the laptop computer. External TV tuner cards typically connect to a USB port, although some are inserted into the PCI express card slot. Install all software and drivers provided with the card.
- 2
  Plug the RCA audio/video cables into the PS2.
- 3
  Connect the free ends of the RCA cables into the "A/V In" ports on the TV tuner card. Make sure the same cables connect to the same colored ports.

  Power on the Sony PS2, then launch the tuner software installed on the laptop. The PS2 content appears on-screen.
