Can you hook up a PlayStation 2 to a computer?

Answer 1

There are many different ways the term "connect" can be viewed when speaking about "connecting" a PS2 to your computer.

Factually and speaking from experience, I can state these things.

* You can connect a PS2's visual output to your computer with the aid of a TV Tuner card, or similar piece of hardware, which is not included with your average or even above average stock computer sold on the open market.

* You cannot network to the PS2 using a USB cable. You cannot access hard data via a LAN Ethernet cable.

* The only way to be able to come close to accessing raw data on the PS2 short of being a Sony developer with necessary hardware not available on the open market (and practically impossible to find on the black market as well), is to use the PS2 "Phat" model, and purchase a HDD and Network Adapter, or purchase a specialized modded PS2 Memory Card with USB computer access. The first option would allow you to store gamesaves on the now internal hard disk. The secondary option allows you to plug your memory card into your computer to share saved games with other people in the PS2 community online, and as well back up your saves on your computer.

Answer 5

"Hook up" can have a variety of meanings. It would be helpful to know what you are trying to accomplish. If you have a video capture card, you can record your gameplay onto your computer. Other than that, there is not much utility in connecting your PlayStation 2 to your computer in any way.
