Perhaps the PS2 is outputing a 5V signal when your monitor is wanting a 1V signal?
I think this is the case, though i have no idea how to fix this issue.
BTW if anyone else want to hook up thier ps2 to this monitor here are the hookups for the ultimarc adapter.
the connection in red is how to do it. Though the issue now is that it is putting out too much signal.
anyone want to educate me on how i could fix this?
Billabs guys arnt that bad, here is the info they sent me that at least got me a picture
CGA is tricky in that it could be separate sync instead of composite sync.
Does your system have a R,G, B, Gnd, H-sync, V-sync?
If so, we'll do the following: first let's define the wires from your system.
Use Gnd, H-sync, V-sync for signal output wires from your system, and
gnd, h-sync, v-sync for monitor input wires. The RGB wires stay with rgb monitor wires.
You need to try any of the combinations below:
Gnd to gnd, V-sync to v-sync (leave h-sync unhooked).
Gnd to gnd, H-sync to v-sync (leave h-sync unhooked)
Gnd to gnd, V-sync+H-sync to v-sync (leave h-sync unhooked)Gnd to v-sync+h-sync, H-sync+V-sync to gnd.
so on and so forth...
Chances are your system has separate video outputs and they are of reverse polarity.
You have basically 3 wires from your system (unknown) that need to connect properly
to the 3 wires from the monitor. There are 3! combinations here.
Be sure to turn off the monitor each time you try something. The picture should either
show up, or turn it off, and try another combination.
Be safe!
