PS2 AV to HDMI Best Cheap Solutions in 2021

hey guys welcome back to the channel it's awesome that you're tuning in so in this video we're going to take a close look at the hdmi solutions for 2021 but more like the plug-and-play and cheap solutions what can we get and also for the playstation 2 slim because there are some things that you need to know before you're going to grab something out of the shelf so let's take close look at it and let's go so i wanted to dedicate one single video with all the cheap solutions and to show you which one is the best one i already did a couple of videos first of all the playstation fat model this model here the really first released version don't support the component signal output take that consideration but we're going to talk about later on what i mean with this the solutions i show here in the video are also possible to use on the playstation 2 slim because i know there are a lot of people out there who haven't silly model but i just want to point out so the most common cable you're going to get is this this is the composite cable and i think this is the worst kind of signal that you can get so another great solution is full rgb i don't have the cable at the moment so i can't show you another great way is in component cable which you can see over here and this cable is just giving one of the best signal output and there's one particular dongle that will use this signal so we can guess that this angle has an amazing signal out but we're going to test it out but take a consideration already that's told you but still going to point it out that with the first edition and really the first verse that she plays two models it does have the component option but it doesn't give you the right signal but enough talking about the cables let's take a close look at the hdmi solutions so we're going to get basically our two different cables waving the pound and the keiko and then we having the two dongles one is also available to use four and playstation 1 and i will tell you later on why this is but the two dongles those are the cheapest of all and i think you can pick them up for around 5 up to 10 depends where you buy them the pound and the kaiko are both really great adapters i must say that i did a cyber center comparison i couldn't find a lot of difference so in this video a part will use the kaiko i had some issues with my elgato in combination with this dongle itself so most of the part i will use the pound cable the keiko and the pound cable are not really in donald one i can cable with the door can get this thing out all right here we go okay and what you're going to get inside the box and that's really something i really like about these more exclusive or expensive cables we're going to get a very nice deluxe metal and with this booklet you can say is that we're going to get some explanation if you have any problems and it comes with hdmi cable but nevertheless these are our options so we're basically having two cables and two dongles i'll just show you three here but you get the point okay i need to point out that take a consideration that all of these dongles and cables need some extra juice so with the two dongles we're going to get a mini usb retro all the way and we can plug them in front of the playstation or get yourself a separate 5-volt adapter and this one also needs some juice otherwise you don't get any image but it needs a micro usb but so far i can see it was included inside the package okay for the first one we're going to try the playstation 1 and 2 dongle and don't forget to plug in for some extra use otherwise it didn't work the first cable will use the analog signal and will upscale it up to 1080p and this is the result of this cable you can see that the signal output is not that great and when put it up sadly i couldn't capture it you will see that it shows you that it gets more like a 1080p signal but the input signal is very low quality and this is just the result we're going to get i just wanted to give you a quick look and let's move on to the gameplay did you wait long i am the winner get ready but take consideration that this is just old school signal output that they are going to upscale to 1080p but i must say that the audio itself of the gameplay is not that bad so for the next round we are going to take a closer look at my old school friend the playstation 2 to hdmi focus camera thank you so this dongle has been in my collection for a very long time and i'm personally very pleased with it there are a couple of reasons why i'm a big fan of this thing simply because first of all it's super dirty cheap it depends of course where you buy it because some people will ask a lot of money for it but if you pick it up from aliexpress for example man these things are not very expensive so what i understand is that this dongle utilize the component signal and with a little bit tweaking i will show you later on this video and also made a separate tutorial about how you can fix your no screen issue with this dongle is that it will even go up to 480p progressive signal output and it looks quite good but let's get to in the gameplay same game and let's see how it looks okay so it's time to test out the dongle number two and don't forget to go to system configuration and put them on the component video out but you can see that this is a significant upgrade over the other dongle and this is basically the first to release one of course the first one i have shown you is that the version that was also available for playstation 1. this dongle can't be used for playstation 1 as playstation 2 only and if you're going to put in playstation 1 game in your placing 2 it's highly possible you're not going to get any signal when the game is booting up did you wait long i am the winner get [Music] ready [Music] to push it a little bit further let's go to 60hz progressive 40p test let's boot it up and my hokkaido will not recognize the system signal anymore reboot and everything have been set up to 480p [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] wow [Applause] [Music] [Applause] okay so in this video i wanted to test out the kaiko and the pound but sadly when i plugged in man this thing it goes in really hard okay but when i plugged in the kaiko version i had some technical difficulties so to begin with when i was booting it up the image itself looks very nice but after some time the problem started so the signal in general is not bad at all and i also did a full review about this cable but somehow today i have problems that it stopped losing signal and everything looks pretty messed up just want to say it didn't work for me with this review so i just skipped the keiko cable and went straight to the pound one and there is no signal and it's back and it's messed up okay so let's wiggle in the pound cable and let's see how this one looks i have set the playstation to rgb mode and it looks very nice it fills up the full screen it's one for some personal taste where you prefer the 4x3 or the full screen that is something up to you but the signal itself is not bad at all did you wait long i am the winner get ready you can't use the 480p option with this cable of course but this is what happens no signal nevertheless let's play it on the original 60hz and let's see how it looks now [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Applause] okay guys so this is what you're going to get with the different ways you can play on the playstation 2 slim or the first edition but let's do a side-by-side comparison and and final showdown so you can see what are the differences between all the signals [Music] [Music] do [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] so [Music] [Music] okay so
