Solved: Help hooking up a Playstation 2 and GunCon2 guns to a VGA monitor
<< < (2/3) > >>

I thought that maybe the standard adapter boxes would lose the signal. 

Does anyone know how to create a circuit to take the composite or s-video sync and put it onto the VGA signal?  I am willing to pay for a working solution to this problem if anyone is interested.  I know that there is a circuit that is available for taking the VGA signal from a computer for the Guncon2 so I am hoping that it can be done in reverse.

Thanks again for the help.  And thanks to ark_ader for trying that for me. :-)

Such a circuit isn't particularly simple as it involves a scaler or deinterlacer.  Products are available, though.  arcademvs.com sells a RGB or YPbPr 480i component to 480p VGA scaler for like $50.  The PS2 can output YPbPr component or RGB component at 480i.  You'll need either a set of RCA component cables or a hacked up SCART cable.

A component cable to VGA solution will not work here as the guncon2 is a composite or s-video solution only.  Thanks for the thought though.
MonMotha:
The luma ('Y') channel of component video should work for the guncon.  It's basically the black&white portion of composite video.  Just use an RCA splitter to hook it up to the compsite video input.

If you use a hacked up SCART cable for RGB output, full blown composite video is also available.  Orange, Green, and Blue are RGB video, and the yellow wire is composite video.  Be sure to change the component output colorspace from YPbPr to RGB in the shell options if you want to do this.

From what I have read you can plug the guncon2 video cable into the green component cable and it will work.  So, not sure if that makes the conversion to VGA any easier, but it does open up another option.
