ps1 and ps2 screen

Post by MilkMonster »

are ps2 screens the same as ps1 screens, I hope they are because I already have one and dont feel like shoving out my hard stolen cash to buy a ps1 screen.

No, one is for the PSone, and the other is for the PS2. :P

Smart assery aside, all you have to do is get pinouts, they are close to the same, but it just depends on what company made it.

If you just want to use the screen as a screen, not in a portable, there is no reason not to. What you need to find is a PSone (male) to a PS2 (female) adapter cable. If you can't find one, you can always make one. That will connect your PSone to your screen. If the screen has auxillary inputs, that makes it much easier. Get a cable that will give you the 3 plug inputs for your screen (either RCA plugs or RCA jacks). Get 3 female-female RCA plug adapters (also known as cable extenders) and use your normal AV cable with the setup.

The Sony plug should have the same pinouts, but the size and shape are way off, not to mention possiblility of different quality (the PSOne screens are hard to beat! :) )
