Awesome! I even managed to do it without an older monitor. Just turn the PS2 and TV on, and count the same amount of taps -> One down -> X -> Three down -> X -> One left -> X, And you're good to go! Thank you!
I spent the past week trying to make this PS2>HDMI "dongle" work with my PS2 Slim and new UHD 4K TV and was about to give up and go buy a PS5 or some expensive hard to get console and then buy all new expensive games. NO! Your videos saved me from that. Now I followed the "clicks" (down-X-down-down-down-down-X-left-X) and it finally works. All you're doing is changing the PS2's video out signal from RGB to Composite. Now it works! Thanks!
I am writing this in honor to my old TV, while trying to play my PS2 on my newer monitor, it failed to get any signal. Watching your video you showed me the solution, so I connected my PS2 to an old TV, changed from "RGB" to "Y Cb / Pb Cr / Pr" and now it works on my monitor, but I knew a little bit that it was the last deed what my old TV did for me. As I plugged my PS2 back into the TV and turned it on, I heard a loud ssssssssssssssss BANG !! And the TV is gone ... In his last breath he gave me the opportunity to enjoy my old console and games, for many days to come. RIP o7
This video saved me..YOU DONT NEED OLD CABLES. I followed what you did and I was able to do it on a blank screen. To do it without old cable. Turn playstation on and wait a bit Go down once and press X. Go down 3 times and press X Go left once and press X. The video popped up immediately after I did that
Dude thanks a lot, it was literally just because I didn’t have it switched to YPbPr. After I switched it to that rather than RGB, the converter finally picked up the signal. Thanks a lot again man. A total life saver.
You're a lifesaver. I finally got a PS2 again knowing I needed a HDMI converter which I got with it, and when nothing was showing up I was freaking out.
OH my goodness, you saved me! We spent an hour trying to get it to work, and switching it from 4 to 1 worked. Literally made me and sis burst out laughing.
Ordered one of these cheap converters from Kaico ... their description of the PS2 to HDMI actually states it's a component out, so makes sense to go into options and select that video out 👍
Thanks so much for this! I bought one of these dongles a few years back and loved it, but I had an older TV for a while so I reverted to SCART. Now I needed it again I forgot how to change the input. This video was really helpful. Thank you!
I wasn't having a signal because i didnt have it set on composite but on rgb and i didnt have a older tv to set it back to composite so what i did is count how many clicks down i had to go to get into the configuration to select composite thanks to your video !🤣 you have to be creative to do this but i did it ! Problem fixed and now i have a signal through hdmi . Goed werk en bedankt
Nice one mate,I've got one of the old original fat ps2's that play ps1 games as well, couldn't get it to work for the life of me on the 4k TV, just had to unplug it all take it into the living room switch the output and take it back into the 4k room now it's working, you're a legend.
Never had this issue before. Bought a fat off eBay and it wouldn’t display until I changed it in the settings using the original hookups. Thanks for teaching me something new.
Thank you man, i managed to connect it with HDMI TV by following your steps. Press down arrow, then X, press down arrow 3 times, press X, then Left arrow, than X again :)
THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO! I recently bought this adapter, but the seller did not explain that I needed to change the output from RGB. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
This works but the only problem is you need to connect to an older tv with AV inputs first to change it to Y Cb / Pb Cr / Pr. Once you change it, you can connect the the converter and it will work. Thanks for this fix!
Thank you so much for making this video! Me and my dad were confused trying to set it up but by switching it to composite we got it to work! Thank you wicked gamer, I am currently playing katamari and it looks great!
i was so annoyed that mine didnt work and then i found this video and it helped. thanks bro ! the quality of picture looks pretty decent. its not perfect but its better than the expensive ones. all the cables is a bit annoying but ps2 is my all time favorite console. it has so many good games
Funny thing is that I only had an hdmi TV Means I was blind and just literally followed through the video lol Guess what the screen poped up Can't wait to enjoy my long lost amazing experience Thanks man
I am so happy this exist, because in no way would I ever have thought to that the reason it didnt work was because I had to plug in the USB, I thought it was a charger. Though then again I did find it weird I would have to charge it.
Thanks I was going thru the same thing right now but i had to hook up original cable and change display output ,now hdmi adapter works Thanks a bunch for this video!!!!!!
I know this is an old video, but thank you! I’m trying to cover PS2 games on my channel and I couldn’t figure out why my converter wasn’t working. It wasn’t even working with my capture card and on my PC lol but it was because my display settings were set to RGB. So I used the old cable and changed it. Now it works perfectly! So thank you for the help!
Turns out my issue was not putting it on component video out lol, thanks for mentioning that. Also I know its a year old video but this PS2 has a dead CMOS battery, (The battery that keeps track of the time) so you might want to replace that, just thought I should mention.
I can only say, I LOVE YOU :') I never like to touch the settings without knowing what they change, so I probably had never tried the component part, which solved the issue in my case, Thank you so much!, I still love playing with my PS2 and always wanted to see the graphics in a better quality (mi tv makes the basic component wire's picture super blurry)
I have a different issue… Mine works fine even loading a game, but it only works with game menus??? As soon as you try to play a level or start a cutscene, it loses HMDI signal and the TV shows no devices. (Not just a blank screen from the PS2) Go back to a menu and everything comes back and I have a signal again
What you can do is maybe try a game like Outrun with the special resolution. I have the feeling your TV support that weird PS2 signal with this dongle. In that case if you don't have outrun try a different monitor.
@@WickedGamerCollector I should have added also that I’m trying to play a PS1 game. Menus work fine but that’s it. I can feel the controller vibrate as I crash into stuff on the game
so i just realised that my problem was the output problem, and i changed the settings blind, so just you know, the console is still on and you can change the settings
Try the top comment it works, bought a hard modded slim ps2 and a hdmi to ps2 converter all on aliexpress, i wanted it plugged to my modern pc gaming rig monitor to test. This comment plus video helped to get it to work. Now i need to solve the max volume issue, pc has no audio so not even sure where sound is coming from
done all the steps u showed in your video with all original and different leads and i know the ps2 slim is working but still get nothing on screen any idea whats going on
Anyone had any issues with just cd games not displaying? The disc reads fine, I get the playstation 2 splash screen then just a blank screen before monitor shuts off from no signal, pretty sure the game is playing as I can hear the drive making noises
Yep, I get this for all PS1 discs and for any region-breaking or code-loading discs. Further up the comments someone said this is a tv problem - the HDMI converter doesn't upscale the signal, so newer tvs can't process the 240i/p signal.
I did this solution for my original problem of no signal. Unfortunately, I'm still having an issue. At the initial start up, everything seems fine. But if there is any break in content (loading or transition) long enough I get the "no signal" message from my TV, for some reason the content once loaded doesn't "wake up" the signal again. I can tell the the game is running due to feedback from the duel shock vibration, but the signal is no longer getting to the TV. It's hit or miss with what games it does it with because some work fine. I have a theory that it keeps working as long as loading time is short enough to not trigger the signal loss warning on the TV. My question is: is there a setting om my TV or the PS2 that needs adjusting to keep my HDMI signal "awake"?
I had no signal issues when I tried this converter with the ps2 slim as I already had mine set to use with component cables, but when I connected it to the USB on the front, it messed with my controllers. For reference, I wanted this to play Capcom VS SNK 2, and the buttons worked, but d pad wouldn't registered when used together with the kick buttons. Fine with punch. The issue didn't go away until I switched from the front USB to a phone charger and did a complete shut down, not just sleep mode. So I recommend using an external power source if you don't want to inevitably destroy the 5 volt line on your system. Otherwise it is comparable to the component video quality but find yourself where HDMI is the only option.
PS2 format 4:3 on CRT TVs that support 16:9 Widescreen CRT format, if a PS2 classic game has 16:9 aspect ratio will play PS2 on Modern TV using POUND HD Link or White Component Cable
I also have a ps2 slim i connect both USB cable and hdmi but still doesn't work for my TV its a phillips tv, ive charged it up to make sure there's enough juice but still doesn't work
Another issue with the cheap chinese brand hdmi converters is they wont display the signal nessesary to display ps1 games regardless of the ps2 being backwards compatible. For the same reason they also wont display certain homebrew titles such as beats of rage games if youre running free mcboot. There is a more expensive hdmi converter thats branded pound that will. But its about 10x the cost of the chinese hdmi adapter. There are also tutorials online that show you how to switch over the ps2 display output if you dont have another cable. It just means youre navigating the menus blind and have to follow the steps exactly. Something which i had to do myself as my tv didnt have any inputs other than rf and hdmi and i only had hdmi and scart leads lol. That was a major pain in the arse. Idealy i would just stick with rgb scart if your tv has it as theres very little if any difference in image quality between hdmi and rgb. Also certain latter revision of free mcboot have an option where you can force the games to display in resolution up to 1080i. Iv never tried it myself but metal jesus did a video on it a while back
More the question what HDMI solution use what kind of signal. PS1 Games are not supported with the component cable and so also not with the HDMI Cheap Dongle 👹
@@WickedGamerCollector : PS1 games do play just fine over a component cable; that's how I have my fat PS2 connected to my TV, and PS1 games work perfectly. The problem with the HDMI adaptor is that they only output the native system resolution, and so it puts out only 240i/p for the PS1 games, which most modern HD TVs cannot handle via HDMI. If the HDMI adaptor upscaled the picture resolution to 720p, then there should be no issues. If the TV has scart or component hook-ups fitted, these are the best options for retro consoles as the TV can easily accept the lower 240 resolution through those connectors.
@@WickedGamerCollector as far as I'm aware iv never had any issues getting ps1 games to run via scart cable. I think that's the eu/uk equivelent of component. I'm sure pound aren't the only hdmi solution that can play ps1 games either but it's the only one I know off hand. I don't know the technical reasons why the cheaper hdmi adapters won't run ps1 though
@@WickedGamerCollector PS1 games does work with Component cable on a ps2 console, just not on a PS1. Steve is right, it's the TV not recognizing the signals. My Sony 32" CRT tv with component input is perfect to play systems all the way up to ps2 and ps3/xbox 360 generation. The only had thing about it is it's very heavy. Plugging it in modern TV systems up to the ps2 looks really bad even with the Dongle.
Mine all suddenly stopped working I use to just hook the HDMI without the charger cable... Haven't touched the ps2 in 4 months ..... 4 months ago was working good now.... Why all suddenly.... Stopped working.... My av output is working fine on the older wire. .... Help?.... I've tried switching the output too that YB some crap instead of RGB....
Thx very much i was giving up on trying to use it until i found this video and saw i just had to change the settings to Y cb .... Now it wotks perfectly
I’m using this same dongle on a PS2 slim and it works with most games but with certain games I get a “change source resolution” notice. Any suggestions on how to fix this or how to change the resolution?
I followed your steps and it still didn't work. Mine has signal, then when loading the game it loses it. Then comes back on to Playstation loading screen and right before the game starts it loses signal again. Any suggestions?
hello. My PS2 still doesnt work. i bought a used ps2 and i dont know if it works or not. when i turned it on the tv still showed no signal. Because i dont have the old cables i tryed to do it blindly multiple times but every time it still showed no signal. i did everything that you asked and i really want to know if i got scamed or not.
I still have a problem with mine. It boots up without the game with no issues and you can play around in the menu. If you load a disc the playstation logo will come up then it goes to the next scene and it goes blank and of course the tv says no signal. I'm stuck with what to try next. So close but so far away lol.
The mini USB thing isn't a must, i could get image from the PS2 without the cable connected, just the HDMI connector, the 'X' steps, and voila, image on the PS2
I have this adapter on my PS2 installed but I still get no signal at my Sony XR-55X90J TV. I did the same as you shown here in your video. Nothing works for me
doesnt work at all, im connecting it to PC and the PS2 intro i cant see, only works if i put a movie DVD on and then it first shows when im at the typical DVD movie select language thing
Hello, I have a PAL PS2 and bought an Hyperkin PS2 to HDMI converter (the one with the switch for the aspect ratio). The first time, I use the composite cable for set up the PS2 on RGB and clearly follow the step by step guide but it doesn't work, only the stable red light when plugged to external power supply (5V-1A). I so tried to make the "blind" modifies (with the no signal screen) changing both the ps2 video aspect settings and the color profile to Y Cr Cb. Made every possible combination but nothing to do, still doesn't work. What can I do? It's my TV fault? I have an Hisense Vidaa H55B7120. Thanks and have a nice day!
Hey, I'm having another issue. I resolved the first by changing signal but now when I load a game I get the same 'no signal' message. Any idea what's up?
Anyone else not able to connect the ps2 to an old monitor to even be able to change the settings?? i cant see what I’m doing as my screen is blank, tried following the steps by counting when to press x & the d pad buttons but still nothing.?
Hey guys, i got myself a ps2 with a hdmi adapter. I can hear Sound, but TV say's no signal. I keep doing the correct button inputs to enable the correct video output according to 1000's of yt videos, but i can't hear that i switch the menu points. I only hear the menu sounds when i press circle and triangle. Up and down, left right, x and square does nothing when i am at the main menu. What am i doing wrong? The controller works fine. It's the first time that i boot this ps2, so i normally remember a date and time menu or some kind. But i even tried to navigate the timezone setup blind according to a video but it does not work. I can only press circle and triangle. I reset the console. I wait 30 seconds until i only hear the background sound. Pushing buttons does nothing. When i press Triangle it does a confirmation sound, when i press cirlce it does a deeper sound. I am completly lost.
Awesome! I even managed to do it without an older monitor. Just turn the PS2 and TV on, and count the same amount of taps -> One down -> X -> Three down -> X -> One left -> X, And you're good to go! Thank you!

@@WickedGamerCollector as far as I'm aware iv never had any issues getting ps1 games to run via scart cable. I think that's the eu/uk equivelent of component. I'm sure pound aren't the only hdmi solution that can play ps1 games either but it's the only one I know off hand. I don't know the technical reasons why the cheaper hdmi adapters won't run ps1 though
@@WickedGamerCollector PS1 games does work with Component cable on a ps2 console, just not on a PS1. Steve is right, it's the TV not recognizing the signals. My Sony 32" CRT tv with component input is perfect to play systems all the way up to ps2 and ps3/xbox 360 generation. The only had thing about it is it's very heavy. Plugging it in modern TV systems up to the ps2 looks really bad even with the Dongle.
Mine all suddenly stopped working I use to just hook the HDMI without the charger cable... Haven't touched the ps2 in 4 months ..... 4 months ago was working good now.... Why all suddenly.... Stopped working.... My av output is working fine on the older wire. .... Help?.... I've tried switching the output too that YB some crap instead of RGB....
Similar problem here. Games still work but suddenly it cuts out shortly after turning on with a DVD inserted.
Thank you, thank you. I was about to throw this thing out.
I've just purchased a hdmi converter and plugged into HDMI port 5 on the AV nothing happens. Tried connecting to TV directly, nothing. I'm stumped
Thx very much i was giving up on trying to use it until i found this video and saw i just had to change the settings to Y cb .... Now it wotks perfectly
Thanks for the vid. I was being dumb and forgot to plug in the USB
The converter motherboard cannot read standard DVDs sorry
I get the menu with hdmi, but when i put a game inside, no signal…. And when i boot, it shows the starting PS logo etc, but then the signal has gone ?
I’m using this same dongle on a PS2 slim and it works with most games but with certain games I get a “change source resolution” notice. Any suggestions on how to fix this or how to change the resolution?
I followed your steps and it still didn't work. Mine has signal, then when loading the game it loses it. Then comes back on to Playstation loading screen and right before the game starts it loses signal again. Any suggestions?
My problem is that I do not have the original cable to change the settings
hello. My PS2 still doesnt work. i bought a used ps2 and i dont know if it works or not. when i turned it on the tv still showed no signal. Because i dont have the old cables i tryed to do it blindly multiple times but every time it still showed no signal. i did everything that you asked and i really want to know if i got scamed or not.
I got the hdmi but no signal and it seems like the red yellow and white cord method didnt provide any signal
I still have a problem with mine. It boots up without the game with no issues and you can play around in the menu. If you load a disc the playstation logo will come up then it goes to the next scene and it goes blank and of course the tv says no signal. I'm stuck with what to try next. So close but so far away lol.
Same. Found a fix?
Its absolutly solved my problem, thanks dude, helped a lot!!! Hats off!
The mini USB thing isn't a must, i could get image from the PS2 without the cable connected, just the HDMI connector, the 'X' steps, and voila, image on the PS2
It worked on my Fat ps2, but didn't in my Slim Ps2...
It starts playing the boot sound but rapidly goes to No Signal :/
I still don’t have a signal but unfortunately my tv won’t allow me to use the hdmi cords to even use to screen to switch the output and reconnect
Its not working for me.. i try all the methods that you share and its still showing no signal.. pls help
You’re a savior lad, thank you so much!
This is why hot chocolate it banned in Chile
Hey thanks for a great video, one question, does it matter if you use a platinum version of the ps2?
Nope
I have this adapter on my PS2 installed but I still get no signal at my Sony XR-55X90J TV. I did the same as you shown here in your video. Nothing works for me
It doesn't work for me too, have you found a solution?
How did you squeeze the power cable and dongle together???? I am having an issue with that.
Mine worked instantly without having to change the settings but I still can’t get any sound unless I plug in headphones. any solutions?
The converter works on my tv but i get the small frame. Left and right is dark. Whats the problem?
doesnt work at all, im connecting it to PC and the PS2 intro i cant see, only works if i put a movie DVD on and then it first shows when im at the typical DVD movie select language thing
Hello, I have a PAL PS2 and bought an Hyperkin PS2 to HDMI converter (the one with the switch for the aspect ratio). The first time, I use the composite cable for set up the PS2 on RGB and clearly follow the step by step guide but it doesn't work, only the stable red light when plugged to external power supply (5V-1A). I so tried to make the "blind" modifies (with the no signal screen) changing both the ps2 video aspect settings and the color profile to Y Cr Cb. Made every possible combination but nothing to do, still doesn't work. What can I do? It's my TV fault? I have an Hisense Vidaa H55B7120. Thanks and have a nice day!
Worked, thanks man
Hey, I'm having another issue. I resolved the first by changing signal but now when I load a game I get the same 'no signal' message. Any idea what's up?
Anyone else not able to connect the ps2 to an old monitor to even be able to change the settings?? i cant see what I’m doing as my screen is blank, tried following the steps by counting when to press x & the d pad buttons but still nothing.?
Hey guys,
i got myself a ps2 with a hdmi adapter.
I can hear Sound, but TV say's no signal.
I keep doing the correct button inputs to enable the correct video output according to 1000's of yt videos, but i can't hear that i switch the menu points.
I only hear the menu sounds when i press circle and triangle.
Up and down, left right, x and square does nothing when i am at the main menu.
What am i doing wrong? The controller works fine.
It's the first time that i boot this ps2, so i normally remember a date and time menu or some kind. But i even tried to navigate the timezone setup blind according to a video but it does not work. I can only press circle and triangle.
I reset the console. I wait 30 seconds until i only hear the background sound. Pushing buttons does nothing. When i press Triangle it does a confirmation sound, when i press cirlce it does a deeper sound.
I am completly lost.
