davepwnt Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 I've spent all day watching the hak.5 episodes. It gave me some inspiration for modding my computer and I got thinking. I never play my ps2, but I want to modify my Video and Sound cards to so I can plug in the analog plugs right into the back of my computer. Then write a simple little application that detects if the PS2 is turned on or not. Then if it is, it will display the video from the PS2. Now that you know the idea, does anyone have any suggestions, mainly for the hardware modding. I'm relitively new to application programming as well. But I know my way around PHP, and some simple web design stuff. So like, give me and positive tips and stuff. Thanks a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren Kitchen Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 I used to play gamecube this way. Once you get your video input setup (capture card or video card), take a look at this open source program: http://deinterlace.sourceforge.net/ Its the best IMHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davepwnt Posted July 7, 2006 Author Share Posted July 7, 2006 Alright thanks! I still might just code my own. It gives me that "Yeah, I did that." feeling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
