I'm sure there's a LOT of video tools out there that do the same thing, or will let you latch onto other video inputs. MPC is just the one I know fairly well. There is a problem with the FullScreenTV tool though - it won't let you select which input you want from the device you select. For instance,...

One tip if the video freezes if you are using the GameBridge - set the video framerate from 29.997 to 30. For audio, I've had a nice cheap $2 y-spliter to plug the red/white audio cables into my audio-in on my audio card on my system for back when I just plugged the console into the monitor directly...

Shall do - but first, I want to gather more data. The 'GameBridge' device works excellently, actually. It's cheap, mega-small, and superior in visual performance. I'll have to make some special instructions on how best to use the device - the default software really, REALLY stinks compared to MPC wi...

Oh, and this topic may also help for when Wii comes out... all games there should be low-res, but widescreen, meaning this technique may help to get the most screen real-estate for Wii setup on a nice Widescreen monitor... it'll be interesting to see how the remote and scanner bar work in that situa...

I think I've got a nice suggestion for folks looking to get low-res consoles like the PS2 working with widescreen monitors like the Dell2405 and such: TV tuners with svideo input + Media player classic or another video tool to catch the stream and manipulate it. Works great for PS2 games - should ma...
