Browse around RetroRGB for HDMI adaptor reviews. People really get fussy about the signal processing delay which some adaptors introduce.

I own the same Brook wireless controller adaptor, it's great and well worth the purchase. It feels great to play Gran Turismo 3 and 4 with a wireless controller.

I just hooked up my PS2 the other weekend and played God of War without issue. Not sure why any of this is necessary, it worked just fine. My 10yr old beat the game in 3 days.

Its not impossible, its doable. Theres just a lot of little nagging issues like image quality and lag, if you have a really slow LCD TV.

Sadly you’ll have to completely overhaul this on Friday as the PSXDigital will be showcased and available for purchase. (It’ll give direct digital output from both the PS1 and PS2, albeit with some hardmodding.)

This is from the same guys who made the PS1Digital and also the DCDigital (aka DCHDMI).

You also didn’t mention devices such as the OSSC or the RetroTink5x either, which will digitize analog video/audio and upscale them with only 1-2 scanlines of lag. (1/240-1/120th of a frame)

Same with the OSSC/RT5x. Nice thing about those devices is that they work on far more than just the PS1/PS2.

Granted, you’d have to get SCART cables for most of them or find good component ones but once you’ve done that its jyst a matter of hooking it up.

The digital mods do take a bit of work, but you can often find installers who’ll do it for a small price.

I’ve got some people locally who’ll do it for $70-90, at least for the PS1Digital I got installed. To me, it is worth it as I don’t have to worry about killing another console. (Tried to do the PSIO ODE mod a few times and it kept on frying consoles.)

Personally, I got myself an upscaler and a BlueRetro adapter. Thing works a treat for my PSX and N64.

I would like to put together or buy a GBS Control, but I'd need to get some SCART cables or I think component work too?
