A PS2 video out cable. Does anyone have a spare they can give to me?

Right now I'm playing on my PC with an emulator and a ps3 controller but it's horribly slow and just not right. Damn, I wish they hadn't taken out backwards compatibility.

I *think* the PS1/2/3 all use the same video cables. I'll double check tonight -- if so, I'm sure I have a spare.

Bad news is that I can't find the video cables for my ps3 either. I think the cat stole them and traded 'em for street friskies or something. I borrowed the ps2 from my brother and he couldn't find the thing either. Forgot there's no hdmi on a ps2, it's been that long.

How about a controller? My nephews beat the crap put of the one they had. Half of the buttons refuse to work even after I took it apart and cleaned the contacts. I forgot how inconvenient wired controllers are.

Yes! I have a controller for you right now. Works perfectly. I sent you a text earlier, but in case you did not see it - send me your home address and I will mail you one!

It will go out Monday! So by Wednesday you'll be able to say, "Man, this played better on Windows."

I want a better experience than what I'm getting with emulation. Also a fully working controller would be nice, I cant seem to turn right. This makes racing games very short lived. Call of Duty is fine...if I want to move in a straight line or strafe left for the whole game.

I have confidence in the PS2 console experience. It was fun in 2001 and it'll be fun now! or... soon, anyway.

Rock and roll! When I went to check my "stash" I found a set that had never been opened. I am 99% sure the PS1, PS2, and PS3 all use the same cables. I'm not sure which those came with but I hope they work. If not let me know and I will get some more out, more quickly next time.
