The “PS2 To HDMI” still is a winner!
How can I find that brand
@@PromdeeezY I don’t know exactly which country you live , but if Amazon or EBay supports your country then you can order it from they official websites , or you can buy it from your local GameStop stores
I think buying online is the best option because I looked in all the stores in my area and can't find it
Great video. PS2 is becoming very popular again in 2022.
Fr
because games become trash or pay2Win m Bullshit
That’s where all the good games are
I dug out my Star Wars games, man it takes u back to being a kid 🥹
tenkaichi budokai is the goat
As far as I know there is a LOT of "PS2 to HDMI Dongle" clones/knock-offs, it would be helpful to know a trusted brand or seller
I saw one on ebay and I think it's the right one because of the reviews but idk for certain
Did you ever find a reputable seller on Amazon or similar marketplace?
I’ve heard really good things about kaico
Great video. PS2 is becoming very popular again in 2023.
Wow I didn't know there were so many PS2 to HDMI solutions! Good reviews and cool video Wicked!👍
Some results from my own testing: (Slim, Pal ps2, 42" HDTV, )
1- Component cable direct to TV, I used this setup for a while and games that support 480p (eg. Outrun) looks ok, unfortunatley only a small amount of games in PS2 library support 480p
2- Cheap PS2 to HDMI solution (you listed this as your prefered solution) - slightly better than above, however this is really just passing the ps2 component output through HDMI
3- LevelHike PS2 cable- My prefered solution, takes the RGB (scart) signal and upscales to 720p, 60hz. A good solution for non-480p games, unfortunately with games that do have 480p support, you can't enable it , but they still look good and better than above solutions.
The cable was budget friendly, ( around 30 Dollars) and imo outside of the crazy expensive retrotink solutions, the best solution for my setup.
Just use GSM to output most of the games at 480p
Thanks for review
Anything special about these retrotink soutions? I have a ps2 slim I just found in storage and I'm just looking for what would look best on an LG c2 oled
I also opted for the LevelHike but to use for my ps1. Looks way better and crisp on my tv since i was using av cables. Should also look better on the ps2.
Hi what is the name of the adapter you are using
_Congratulations for the content - Many years ago and the first channel on youtube that I see a comparison between 5 different adapters with - an image - of a static game - that is, without speed - In this we managed to - extract all the potential - and the maximum of information - I am very grateful for taking the time to acquire all these products - and to show us in practice how they all work - I use the Ps2 for HDMI - but I still want - to buy a Bitfunx - But my reality still doesn't allow it - This video of yours is a gem of knowledge - and clarifications - A big hug to all - Your content is wonderful ( Sorry - I use Google translator )_
How did you custom your text?
@@NONAMECLOSETHEDOOR Just wrap your text in undescores (_). _It's Cool!_
@@NONAMECLOSETHEDOORI have a better question : WHY did you custom your text, it is horrible to read
_I can do it too_
*In multiple different ways*
-But don’t do it please-
4:40 ive had that thing for years. Its so good. its also cheap as hell
Do you have a link?
I think why a lot of people got the Pound cable is because it supported PS1 and the settings they used were the ones that would support ps1 on ps2 so its not as sharp as it could be because they chose to be able to support PS1 functionality. That is where some the the expense comes from I think.
They went with across the board pricing on their converters
I prefer the Hyperkin cable
You are correct, the Adapters which support the PS1 convert the RGB Signal but Adapters which convert a YPBPR Signal have way better image quality on the PS2. The PS1 doesn't support YPBPR, only RGB and RGB has bad image quality.
@@derozaza You're probably thinking of CVBS (composite video), not RGB. RGB and YPbPr component are by and large equivalent. In the PS2, the YPbPr signal is converted from RGB (in the early PS2s this conversion was even done in the analog domain.) The RGB signal output by the PS is usually perfectly fine. 🙂
The CVBS output from both the PS and PS2 however is very soft as Sony put a trap filter in the luma signal to suppress cross-color artifacts, so any converter that uses that instead of RGB or YPbPr is bound to produce a very soft picture.
Great video! Wish you can make a comparison but using the GSM homebrew scaler or the GSM built in OPL, in combination with these hdmi solutions.
From my experience this is the best way to play PS2. I use GSM with component cables and a Portta component to HDMI adapter for a totally interference free experience :)
The bitfunx one works with GSM, 1080i, 720p, 480p resolutions fine. Some Ps2toHDMI has variations wich not work for progressive resolutuions and GSM. Funny thing, my bitfunx has not the green tint shown in the video... very strange...
I purchased the "PS2 to HDMI" about 3 years ago and it's been a phenomenal solution, but there are a few cons I'd like to mention. If you're using free mcboot to upscale the signal the highest this adapter will pass is 1080i. The PlayStation 2 is capable of passing 1080p, I do it on component cables no problem, but this dongle will not process 1080p. The other con is that the positioning of the USB port doesn't allow for you to stand the PlayStation 2 upright. I really wish they would have put it on the other side, when using this dongle you are forced to lay the PS2 flat. Other than that I'm completely satisfied with the product and I am not looking for any other Solutions because this thing just simply works, and in my opinion the picture is the best especially when it comes to the colors. I use mine on a 4K television and an older 1080p television and it always looks amazing.
So when you're playing PS2 on a large HDTV would you go with the PS2 to HDMI dongle or would you go with component cables?
@@Basilisk4119 well I use both. I use component cables when the TV has them available but most HDTVs do not have component inputs. When an HDMI cable is the only thing available I will use the PS2 to HDMI adapter.
@@mark5150ty 👍
@@mark5150ty hey, I use the ps2 to HDMI piece and for some reason for one specific game there is no video, the disc reads but after it is launched no video pops up, is this a problem with the TV not supporting it or is it the ps2 to HDMI piece?
@@coleanderson8035 well this could be a number of problems. If the game is of a different region than your TV it will not display. If it's a pal region then the game is displayed in 50 HZ and if you were playing on a TV that is 60 HZ it will not display. If you are using free mcboot you can Force the game display at a different resolution then it's original. The PS2 HDMI adapter will pass any signal except for 1080p, so it is not at fault.
Great video. PS2 is becoming very popular again in 2024.
I have some ps2 vids coming up for 2024 😄
I just watched ur video now and it was wat av been looking for bro..... thanks champ
Came here looking for HDMI solutions and left wanting to know what racing game that is with the yellow car. Looks really fun.
Need for speed >>>
Thank you so much for this review, this video is exactly what I was looking for. It took me only one purchase to get a great converter for a dreamcast but I didn't have such luck with the ps2 but now i know what I should get. Thanks a bunch!
On "My Life in Gaming" channel PS2 to HDMI has two different model, the supperior model is support 240p signal so it works for PS1 too.
Yup, I have two of those I ordered from different sellers, both work fine on PS1 and PS2.
Smooth drifts in the first clip 👌
To me, black ps2hdmi adapter is, unsurprisingly, best for PS2 while Bitfunx is rockin for PS1. Sadly, it is God-awful for PS2 with its washed colors and ghosting and visible scanlines. I actually doubted myself if this was RGB/YPbPr displayed or just plain composite like in the yellow dongle. My guess is, PS1 RGB at 240p looks better upscaled (or rather, can't be passed through HDMI at all without upscaling) while PS2 component at 480p/576i is still good as is so upscaling is redundant and bad for the picture. I'll need a way to make the two into a hodgepodge Y-adapter so I could plug HDMI into one for PS1 and into other for PS2.
Thanks for this video. I have seen a lot of these reviewed by other youtubers but I trust your opinion the most.
Very comprehensive and helpful, made my purchase according to this video.
The pound is great if you combine it with either the mclassic or mcable. I actually opted for this combo over my retrotink cus my mclassic doesn't play well with it, constant screen Flicker no matter what when combined. The retrotink I still use for my ps1.
12:30 the "phat" PS2 DOES have component support. Just wanted to get this out there, so people don't get confused
Is that guaranteed? I'm considering buying this one for my console
*I bought the convertor that you liked the most (PS2 to HDMI) but mine doesn't look anywhere near as good as yours. Mine is considerably WORSE than composite. It's unusable. I have two tvs and two PS2s, so I compared them side by side. So even though they have the exact same outer shell, there's better and worse PS2 to HDMI convertors😫*
*Can you pop yours open and tell me what version it is? It'll say it on the circuit board. Mine is V4 built in 2020/08/19. I wonder if yours is a later version.*
probably got the market and then chucked cheap components in the newer builds.
@@buggerlugz6753 Yeah, I think you're right
Did you ever find a good PS2 to HDMI converter?
Why don't you buy any YPbPr to HDMI adapter?
Ps2 to Hdmi is really good and cheap but god i wish they make revision on the design especially with the small usb power position or maybe make new one without power input
yes that would be so cool that they make a better updated version 😳
Yep, it can't be that difficult to redesign these dongles so they can sit flush with the PS2
Great video man. Wish I had watched it before buying a piece of crap adapter!
Thank you very much for giving me some advice. I guess I’m planning on streaming PlayStation two games and future from a PlayStation two console. Thanks mush appreciated
Ive purchased a old flat tv, but a very old one, with scart, Chinch, S-Video, HDMI and component ports, then ive bought a normal scart cabel for my ps2, and the picture looks absolutely good, better then on a original crt tv in my opinion. But youll need a old flat tv, with the old ports.
I don't see the blur as inherently bad, in fact the footage of the PS2 to HDMI looks very aliased. Sure it's the most raw clear image, but that also means pixellation up the ass in these low resolutions without a CRT. I think freemcboot can do upscale so it would be it interesting to compare
i’m about to grab a ps2 this tomorrow and i got some games on the way!
The BEST option is to run it to your TV or monitor thru an 4K/8K upscaler paired with a set of high-quality HDMI cables, and then output the signal at whatever resolution suits you... Of course, that will be more costly but definitely worth it in the long run cuz oftentimes they will also give more BOOST to the video signal and even provide extra additional inputs/outputs for your other game consoles and AV devices!
Yeah but first of all an upscaler like that costs A LOOOOOOOT, like 300$, if not more, and not all of them are simple to configure, OSSC costs a lot and requires TONS AND TONS of configuration, new Retrothink scaler doesn't require nearly even half as much configuration as OSSC but sometimes can even costs twice as much, and all other options are only for those few chosen ones who can spend thousands of dollars to simply have a slightly less pixels on Kratos nipples in GoW 2, is isn't really any good solution because a good solution is both effective and not UNGODLY expensive
ossc isn't perfect tho
Makes sense for the 4k, my tv in my room isn't, which has the ps2 to hdmi make the screen look too pixely
@@BalboaGoku Good call... It always makes sense to future-proof your favorite classic games consoles!
@@OtomoTenzi yeah, but it's a good thing my dad's tv downstairs is 4k! Not much room, but I'll see what I can do.
Love ur back catalog❤
PlayStation 2 is the best gaming console until now, just imagine, there a lot of good games that you can play, good stories on different genres. What an awesome console, plus backward compatible and it can turn into dvd player
Does anyone notice that he is getting better at outrun everytime he shows it lol
Does the cheap PS2 TO HDMI dongle support PS1 games played on PS2?
Red green blue ports makes it perfect. No way around it unfortunately, my 65 inch doesn't have the ports so yeah.
Then get the ps2 to hdmi because that is using the component signal
@@Weensx already have, the best thing to do, get the red green blue component to hdmi converter, buy ps2 rbg cord and it will come up clear is ever (my current setup after buying 2 hdmi converters, come to find out it just enables you to play on HD TV, not upgrading the graphics.
utilised and enjoyed wNice tutoriallst increasing in value.
I'm going to pair the black PS2 to HD adapter that plugs into the back of the PS2 with my mClassic. The converter should convert to either 480p or 720p, and then the mClassic should upscale that to 1080p. Can't wait to see what the results look like.
Let me know how it goes. I have an mClassic as well hooked up to my PS3.
@@poopikins it actually looks a lot better. I think a backwards compatible PS3 would be better, but I can’t shell out the $250 for one right now.
Ps2 to HDMI is the king
My Solution I have one of the first models of the Sony Trinitron..I conect my PS2 there...thinkig in buying another TV of the same model they are really good.
Thanks bro!👍👍 I've been trying to improve the graphics I use PlayStation2 and the Dell monitor but the av2hdmi from Best buy is horrible cant even play NFS crash into everything..😅 definitely gonna try the ps2 to hdmi👌
Thanks very much for this video :) can the PS2 to HDMI handle PS1 games on the PS2 ?
huge difference for something that is that small i have a jailbroken ps3 that can now run ps2 and yes i have outrun on it connected via hdmi to 4k hdr tv and not as good as it is on this video so yeah nice" litle thing gonna get one of those when i got the time
super große danke das war super hilfreich
I have both a 39001 fat and a 77001 slim but mainly looking for one for my 39001. The only issue I have is when it comes to PS1 games working. I have the composite cable and a 13 inch CRT TV but I really prefer a somewhat bigger screen so looking to get something for my HDTV. I need to keep games in 4.3 and be able to play PS1 games on it which I think could be an issue with 240i resolution.
I could just get a converter thing for compostie to HDMI since I have the composite but that's just taking the worst signal and blowing it up on a larger screen with no deinterlacing or whatever.
Component I tired before and was good image though the cheap cable was not. My current TV doesn't have Component slots so maybe could get a component cable to HDMI adapter and a component cable. I think I still have the old component cable but it's a cheap made and makes a loud buzzing sound on the TV speaker audio.
I also have an mClassic which would be cool to use for removing jagged edges but I think it only works on 720p outputs. I do have a backwards compatible PS3 CECHA01 model but I just want to play on original hardware again. Wish I had a good size CRT TV but no room for one right now.
This is a simple question. Why not still use your component cable, and use a component to HDMI adapter for the upscale? I believe that would be the best way to go, but you are limited to 480i output from the PS2, so no PS1 games.
Hello, the advantage of the dongle is that it captures the signal directly out of the console is therefore not affected by the quality of a cable, analogy as good as it is, the bass reflection is good, but very expensive which would put off 90 percent of people.
The Rad2X is the better adapter out of all of these... until Mike Chi releases the Retrotik Directs.
Thank you bro greeting from iraq
Holy shit the awfully cheap one looks amazing, i will buy it since its like 2 bucks lol
Thank you!
PlayStation 2 ❤❤❤
Ps2 to hdmi is it working on ps2 slim?
I have one for my slim and it works like a charm, just make sure you change the video output to component on the ps2 before pluging it in
The PS2 to HDMI (the black one) crushes darker colors. Try horror games or fps games. I just gave up and connected my ps2 slim back to an old 21" crt tv.
Yeah mate?
I just got a ps2 slim, should I just get a crt tv, save all the bother with dongles etc?
You mean the PS2 to HD right? Not PS2 to HDMI?
@@medalgearsalad1419 no. Ps2 to hdmi.
I feel like ps2 is by far the hardest console to Restore in HD.
I still have the slim one that I bought at Circuit City.
i just played gow 2 on my ps2 half hour ago
Bro. Which racing game is that? I like it.
RetroTink 5X is my favorite
Thanks!
Hello, great video, will any of these solve my PS 2 issue with a game in a dark background scene? Like playing games that are in dark tunnels or at night which you cannot see anything at all. I had no issues on my old plasma tv. I have a 75 inch LG Led tv, not sure if that matters and did put into game mode for the picture with no difference. Your thoughts, many thanks.😊
Gracias por la comparativa.
Calidad-precio Ps2 to HDMI
I got a Linkfor cable for mine. But went back to the RGB cable since the TV I have it connected to still supports RGB plugs. Plus the RGB to HDMI I was using didn't like PS1 games.
so what's better? ps2hdmi or bitfunx?
Bitfunx: Great quality,but arrives on august 7th when ordered
Me: *_YOU MUST THINK IM STUPID!!!_*
Heyaaa! Thanks For The Amazing Video!!! Just A Quick Question... Any Fixes On The High Pitch Sound When Using OBS? Been Having This Issues With Most Adapters I Buy Online (Currently Using Your Bitfunx Option) ~Thanks In Advance
that one you said was cheap costed me like 40 dollars. ps2 to hdmi
What is the best one for PS2 to look good on an oled TV? I just want the graphics to look better and I don't care about anything else
i plan on getting a ps2 to play gta sandandreas again since my ps3 is gone
Thanks for the review, but I do have a question. What about lag using these type of devices? Is it as bad as other reviews say it is?
I have one of this devices and it's working fine
@@ristiristi I was curious about the lag. Coming from the FGC, there have been many solutions proposed over the years. From deinterlacing devices, to scalers, line doublers etc... and one of the main things we look for is a low latency solution. I had even purchased a few display lag measuring devices to see if it's within my threshold of tolerance. And was wondering if any of these devices have had their output measured with such devices.
so basically the PS2 to HDMI is the best one
As for the Bitfunx solution, is the greenish video output the result from the RGB mode or the YPbPr mode? Or is it from both?
The video implied that it would happen at least with the component signal, as he was talking about using progressive scan.
However, I would guess it happens with both modes. I don't exactly have the deeper technical knowhow and vocabulary to explain it, but something similar to this can happen with a scaler called GBS-C if you set color sampling too high (4X), the picture receives a greenish tint on PS2. Different amounts of color sampling are more preferable for different systems.
It's probably something related to that, except a basic adapter like this has all the more minor stuff like that hard set.
What about the Levelhike cable?
Nice compare
Apparently some of these don't support the PS1 resolution. Maybe you should test that out for those who care?
Which looks better??? Ps2 to hdmi or butfunx???
ua-cam.com/video/tzrBcd0XdkQ/v-deo.html&ab_channel=WickedGamer%26Collector
Maybe this give you an better idea ?
So out of all 5 which do you think is best
Idk if you've mentioned this before and ik this vid a year old but what do you use to capture footage and how's it setup? Do you have two monitors or just use an HDMI switcher?
I have the original PS2 (fat version) can i use the PS2 to HDMI adapter?
Yes it works for me. Love it
Hi great video. Question, I have the fat ps2 so in your opinion what’s the best hdmi for me ? Thank you
I got the cheap PS2 to HDMi one and it plays my PS2 games but not my PS1 games on the PS2. My PS1 Games work fine on the PS2 with component cable but not while using this convertor
Because of the resolution you use with the ps2 to hdmi you can't boot into ps1.
You get a black screen with onlly audio.
@@WickedGamerCollector thanks so much for the reply man for the issue. Do you know if there’s any converter that could get around this at all?
I would like to add that playing such video game consoles that have a native resolution lower than 720p on a big HDTV isn't a good idea. I would NOT recommend it. The games will look more pixelated the bigger the HDTV/monitor is. Take a look at PPI. A monitor/HDTV/CRT smaller than 22" inches to 15" inches is good for this and the games will look better. I've tested this on a HDTV that lets me resize the image and on a smaller monitor which looks better.
But to compare with CRT, can HDMI dongle compete, or nothing can beat good old TV with nice scanlines?
Well you said it, nothing compares to ctr. Been trying to get a Sony Trinitron but no luck.
What brand is best for the PS2 to HDMI
No idea did not test them all.
Couple of new ones came out this year.
I'm looking for the component cable for my ps3 ,my PS3 HDMI Port is bad
Just got a new PS2 and using a hdmi converter something cheap and you can tell immediately that it looks bad. Wish I knew this info before I wasted 25 bucks on in.
SOME USE CVBS / svideo
Some Use Y pb pr suport 480p but 240p(ico & ps1 game)
found a rgb bypass converter sync use cvbs & colour use rgb
but my Panasonic ut30c can`t display 240p
what about the cheap walmart av to hdmi adapter its from a company called AKMI and it says on walmart website rca to hdmi converter says it works with the ps2.
What capture device do you use?
Wat vind je van de hyperkin ps2 kabel?
Hyperkin, Pound, RetroScaler kortom je krijg naar mijn idee wel meer van het zelfde.
Bedoel hiermee te zeggen dat ze allemaal de zelfde input kwaliteit gebruiken.
Eind resultaat net iets anders kwa kleuren of audio dat wel.
Hyperking heb ik niet getest zelf trouwens denk ik voor de PS2 wel voor de Xbox Classic des tijds.
@@WickedGamerCollector dankjewel voor je reactie. Ik heb op jouw advies de Bitfunx kabel gekocht. Ik ben benieuwd. Beste qua prijs/kwaliteit dacht ik zo. De pound kabel kreeg steeds als terugkerende klacht dat het beeld donker was. Deze maar niet gekocht 😊
What is the resolution of the TV you tested these on??
Someone tell me in short what basically ps2 to HDMI help
Kind of out of the blue, but I don't suppose you know of any cheap and affordable PS3 HDMI splitters that work with modern capture cards, like the Elgato HD60S? Ones that bypass the HDCP nonsense?
Not sure what your budget is, but I got the hdmi splitter from avstar that has hdcp bypass, its on sale rn for $30 if that helps
Will it work if I use my computer screen as a method to get the video of the ps2 up on the screen?
The pound is more expensiver lol 😝 got a big chuckle from that man
Will thos fix the glitch on screen and I'm getting that on my flat screen
I have the ps2 to hdmi but Most wanted looks soooo bad what am i doing wrong?
Which outrun is this. 1
which one of them is 1080p?
What game is that the one that was playing with the yellow car racing in the beginning of the video?
