ATI TV Wonder - need a quick reply - playing a video game console through your computer.

I've had the TV Wonder for a while, but today, I hooked my PS2 to the little composite input hub that it comes with (it connects to the back of the card). I'd like to play the PS2 on my monitor, as you're supposed to be able to do with this card. Anyone know what program to use for this (I assume it's one that came with the card, but I can't seem to find the feature anywhere), and if there's any setup I need to do first?

Thanks!

Nevermind! Figured it out.

I hope you buy an S-Video cable for your PS2. I remeber it being blurry on an old ATI All In Wonder.

Can Component Cables be used with the ATI TV Wonder? I hear that's absolutely the best quality you can get. Wait... does PS2 even have a Component Cable that you can buy?

Yes, all the current consoles have Comonent cables. I even got component working on my SNES.

actually, the currently produced GC does not come with a digital out port.
read about it here.

as to what they will do when you do call to discuss, I am not sure. Nintendo is the only one who does not sell the component cables at retail stores, which I find odd, and a PITA. it took 9 WEEKS for them to get to me when I ordered. for us twitchy gamers, thats a looooong time.

All in wonder and TV wonder use at best S-video. If you have problems with the sound synching up with the video as I did, try using Dscaler. This problem works nicely with my TV Wonder Pro. It is very specific on the card you use, so read the instructions. If you want component video from your ps2 or the like, then you might as well spend the money on a Dell 21" or 24" LCD that has Component built in to it as an input.
