im working abroad (uae) and i left my ps2 back at home... so it's boring here and i can't afford to buy a new television just to play a ps2 game...

so what im thinking if it is possible to tapped or connect a ps2 console to a laptop... (is it possible to just use the monitor to play ps2?)

hence if it is possible...

- what kind of ps2 console should i buy? (slim?)
- and where could i connect my ps2 to my laptop?

i think that my laptop can't push it limits just to play or run a "ps2 emulator" that's why im thinking if it could be possible to do this... and if it's guaranteed a success, then i'll buy myself a new ps2 console...

well, thanks in advance guys, hoping for some answers...

Using an external video capture device via USB would do the job. You'd just need a program like DScaler - Home to show up your image from the PS2 through Composite or S-Video (or component if the device supports it). I'd prefer to leave further explanation to other members to avoid false information

Also any PS2 works.

after searching from google, it seems that there's this "video capture card" that can be used to connect a ps2 and a laptop... but people said that it's hard to find these things... but well, i'll try to find some here in uae especially in dubai... i hope that it will work fine if i found it...
