First time one of your videos has shown up on my subscription feed for months. Wondered if I had unsubscribed by mistake when I saw it but nope I was still subscribed.
Which of these adapters have no image darkness problem? Is it the yellow one?? My Main gripe is i use the ps2 to hdmi adapter and some games like silent hill 2 and 3 are reall dark.
I found the KAICO brand HDMI adaptor is far better. It supports both Component and RGB. The video quality is excellent plus the dongle is on a short cable which allows more flexible installation. Those other dongle require 2~3 inches of space behind the PS2 because of they way they stick out, which is a problem if you put your PS2 on shelving or in an AV cabinet.
I just looked up kaico hdmi adapter and it looks like that one does stick out behind the ps2 directly, also it doesn't play ps1 games and doesn't have 100% compatibility with all ps2 games
One of the big reasons why I need to get myself one of these is mainly for capturing gameplay. If you have a ps3, you know the hdmi signal is encrypted and the elgato will throw a fit. The AV/Comp signal on the ps3 doesn't have this. And since they're interchangeable between ps2 and ps3 (and maybe by proxy ps1?), it cans serve two different situations.
Your scart cable is not a RGB scart, is the PS1 composite scart cable and it doesnt have 21 pins like the RGB scart, buy a RGB scart and you will be amazed how exellent is the image quality, better than HDMI dongles and component cables
I tried lots, still use a RGB for my PS2 and like into OSSC (framemeister wld b better here due to deinterlacing king)- a diff SCART from my PS1 because 1 has caps in line, I forget which you can look up specs. But besides Gamecube and my OG Xbox, I use SCART for all my native systems w RGB mod or not- even Atari Jag lmao
I don't see why they wouldn't make it 90 degrees towards the chassis and make it a bit wider so it sits against the chassis instead of sticking out awkwardly. Could even make connectors surface mount on either side of the PCB and have it sit flush with the chassis like the network adapter.
Once again, the V1 is clearer (sharper) and has better colour than the V2. So they made it worse? V1 is the best option. If you make another one please put the yellow hdmi BEFORE the RGB in the comparisons. So we can see a better comparison between RGB and Component. Thanks.
I was wondering what brand capture card you're using to record the gameplay, and also have you heard of an ossc? It's much more expensive, but it's supposed to give the best results and be able to scale the image to larger displays without losing quality.
What’s a good solution to play PS1 games on a PS2 via a converter to an HD TV? It seems that none of the cheap options are any good. The only solutions I’m finding are very expensive for casual gaming. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!
Yeah I've been facing this issue too. Unfortunately it's not just PS1 games that won't work on these; The hardmodding BIOS screen and homebrews (such as OPL) also end up not working due to their low resolution. I assume a dedicated upscaler would do the job, but otherwise it does look like there's no other easy way.
@@zaandam0172 false, all PS2s can play PS1 games, it's just that no PS2 is 100% compatible with PS1 games, even on the 3000x models of PS2 there's around 40 ish games that have issues or don't work. The slim models is where PS1 game compatibility took a hit, but are still compatible with the majority of PS1 titles. There's around 150 ish PS1 games that have issues or doesn't work on the slim PS2, and there is around 40 ish PS2 games that have issues on the slim PS2. You seem to be confusing the removal of the hardware based PS1 hardware with lack of PS1 support, they just moved to software based emulation.
will either of these work with ps1 games on the ps2? because i want to play my ps1 games as well on my ps2 instead of having 2 systems to play 2 different sets of games
thanks for this, i recently bought ps2 slim PAL and i used av2hdmi (rca to hdmi), im not satisfied with the output, i will next try the ps2 to hdmi :) hope this help me for better output,,thank you
can someone please help me here. I’m not sure if any of them will fit in my ps2 slim, I bought one and it didn’t fit. I still have the old one with the red/yellow/white end and it fits,which one should I get now
I’ve used that dongle with the white ps2 to hdmi logo, for some reason it doesn’t show the whole Ps2 startup intro. Did you manage to find a dongle that doesn’t suffer this problem?
@@WickedGamerCollector i was close to buying the mayflash but i guess it won’t support need for speed underground 1/2, most wanted & midnight club 🥲 those are my favourite games
after doing some research i went for the retrotink 5x pro, fed up of peeing around with the cheap chinese clones that are basically garbage. now i can play PS1 and PS2 games perfectly with no messing about
@@baldigang Hi, i love the 5K pro, it is on the expensive side but due to the fact you can use on many platforms it is a no brainer. The RGB > Scart adapters i designed are great, so far i have fully tested the PS1, PS2, Gamecube, SNES and Amiga. My design uses 2 parts, the adapter connected to the console is a tiny adapter that has HDMI output. The other end is a Scart connector with HDMI input. You simply use ANY size HDMI cable to connect them and you have perfect RGB cable that you can finetune on the 5K pro to your personal taste. The cost to build would be about $20 (plus your HDMI cable). The Scart adapter would work on most platforms as all the needed components for the various platforms reside in the console end adapter. I am getting around to do the remaining platforms on my list, waiting for parts is always a slow down factor lol. There is no need to buy expensive cables for your platform. This design is just as good and the fact you are able to use professionally made HDMI cables means the signal is great. There is no hand soldering wires :). I need to find a way to post pictures without the need to sign up to an annoying app that mines your data. edit. The adapter plugging into the PS1/2 for example is tiny, (at least half the size of the adapters shown at the beginning of this video so there is minimal "droop"
for ps2 that runs always at 480i and makes no resolution swiches as far as I know, the retrotink 2x might be enough to enjoy ps2 with low input lag. but for ps1 the 5x pro is the way to go experts: please correct me if I am wrong

Did you hit the bell with all notification on ?
Or maybe youtube is starting to push out content to subs more often... would be nice 👌
PS2 to HDMI bonanza! I would go with Mayflash, just for the built quality.
Yeah many new solutions so let's test them all ! 👌

I love your videos I watch every episode but I do declare I think I'm toasted on that second glass of wine ❤
Can you do this for various wii dongles? Would be highly appreciated :)

Would like to know too where to get that
@@chambonboris4664 as i said before AliExpress, eBay, Amazon, Wish
But bro my tv doesnt have that 21 pins slot

Does the PS2 to HDMI or Mayflash display PS1 games when played on the PS2 Console?
I don't see why they wouldn't make it 90 degrees towards the chassis and make it a bit wider so it sits against the chassis instead of sticking out awkwardly. Could even make connectors surface mount on either side of the PCB and have it sit flush with the chassis like the network adapter.
Im good with av components, hdmi does look clear but the color is fade and no brightness
Do i need the component cable for these, or can i directly attach it to the hdmi socket in my tv?
Once again, the V1 is clearer (sharper) and has better colour than the V2. So they made it worse?
V1 is the best option.
If you make another one please put the yellow hdmi BEFORE the RGB in the comparisons. So we can see a better comparison between RGB and Component. Thanks.
Yes, good point 🦾
Alors qu'avec le cable RVB branché direct sur une ancienne tv sans passé par le hdmi les jeux ps1 fonctionne.
Bedankt voor de video. 😊👍
will any of these work with hdmi 2.0 TV/ monitor?

Do you know if any of these will work with GSM in OPL on the fat ps2?
i bought the aliexpress one but its not wobbly like yours, its tighter then your expensive one you have, i'm plugged it into a slim
Bonjour, avec la ps2 je me suis pris (ps2 to hdmi) Ça fonctionne bien sauf pour les jeux ps1 il faut que je repasse en RCA pour les jeux ps1

Not all PS2 consoles can play PS1 games... So watch out! The phat 1 can do all of them.
best cheap option is rad2x

For PS1 games you need the dongle that uses RGB // scart signal out.

i have the unbranded black hdmi to ps2 dongle on my scph-9000x ps2 slim, and it works rlly well
@@megacringehanahV1 or V2?

Hi, i got the levelhike for ps2, but the picture is very small on my 55inch tv. Anybody know how i can fix this ?
some games are too dark on ps2 to hdmi
Ciao io ho la ps2 Slim, posso usarli questi adattatori? Grazie
i use a psone/ps2 solution- works like a charm
Yup bought the ps2 to hdmi last year, never going back to av jacks the best one is the only one you'll need lol excellent video output
something I hate from the hdmi dongles is not matter how much you increase the brightness its literally impossible play dark games.
Same here. I'm thinking of buying the yellow adapter because of how much brighter it is from the other adapters shown in the vid.
I finally gave up on the upscalers and I got a big back crt 🤣🤣🤣
ps2 to hdmi is the best!
V2 is an improvement 😅
Where can I find it?
Just got mine in and its the ps2 to hdmi for me
How is it so far
@@ashen_BA-Pillman it works great it only goes to 480 p
@@percyrogers7246 damn. Is there any higher resolution you recommend higher than 480 p
will need for speed underground run better & sharper with these?
Only couple of games can use the 480i signal out.
So nope.. it's more of a plug and play hdmi solution. That's it.
@@WickedGamerCollectoroh okay, so only some games will support the image quality?
@@WickedGamerCollector i was close to buying the mayflash but i guess it won’t support need for speed underground 1/2, most wanted & midnight club 🥲 those are my favourite games
@@lllIIlIllII mean I think if you have a good enough pc you could try and emulate them on your pc
Do any of these support PS1 games?
The PS2 is backwards compatible with PS1 games
Hi, for get picture in Ps1 mode use cheats in popstater like this: $480p $hdtvfix and you get image with ps2 to hdmi, regards from spain
actually what the best ps2tohdmi?
The best would be an hd retro component cable and a retrotink😅
Yeah totally gonna drop $750 for slightly better image quality womp womp.
After try ps2 to hdmi I prefer play ps2 via emu😂,
My eye can't accept hd resolution
after doing some research i went for the retrotink 5x pro, fed up of peeing around with the cheap chinese clones that are basically garbage. now i can play PS1 and PS2 games perfectly with no messing about
