I got a quick question? If I were to take my ps2 adapter that connects to the tv. cut it in half then wire it to a USB Cord. Then connect it to my PC would i be able to have my pc act as if it were a Television?

idk if that would work... i almost positive it wont, thats an AV cable used to display video and if somehow it did work you would need a special program to display it. But i dont even think you can connect the cables correctly.

No. But you can do that with an RCA-to-VGA adapter.

Good point... Heres an other question... Could i do the same think but with a PS2 Controller so it can be a PS2 Usb Controller. Ill cut the wires and put em together.

A word of warning though, dont get the radio shack usb controller adapter. I bought it and it works when it wants to which is about 25% of the time

Yes. But, to do it yourself You'd have to buy, and attach a micro controller to the controller, and program it to interperat the input from the PS2 controller.

Well, that just means it actually powers the led...
And you'd have to mod the buttons within the PSP....

if you want a PC to display on a TV you should have a graphics card with a S-Cable or smart cable (or whatever its called) and hook it up to a TV with compatibility and get some drivers.
