| Printing from a PS2
Does anyone know how to print directly from a PS2 if its possible? I see it has 2 USB jacks in the front of it. I want to print off a picture of a car from NFSU2. Any help would be appriciated.

Yeah I could do that, but what if I ever wanted something with the actual quality straight from the system without the distorted colors? Plus, it would just be something nice to know.

I dont think the PS2 has a driver in it for a printer. I've seen it done, but it was taken off of a memory card that had been modded to work with a pc.

Isn't there a way to connect your ps2 to a computer?

I've never tried. Again, I doubt the firmware would support that. If you had the ps2 harddrive you could probably mod it pretty easily to fit in the pc.

lol I'm not really good at that sort of stuff. Something to research, though. I also don't want to take the chance at screwing up my PS2..... Although, I screwed up my tv and my parents got me a bigger better one, so maybe if I screw up my PS2 they'll get me a PS3..?? |

On some games you can use a USB storage device to save pictures and misc files. No clue if it will work on that game though.

Try and go with a small card to start, the PS2 is old enough, the newer 1gb cards may not work. I would try it for you but my ps2 took a dump the other day, I think dropping it off of my entertainment center ended its life eairly. |

You gotta have an video card that can support having your ps2 plugged into the pc. then, take a screenshot, then print Oh, and, you can only use a jump drive to take pix in GT4, photo mode, prrrty cool

You should be able to get a TV card and hook it in.... sometimes find tv cards free after rebate at bensbargains.net (not advertising just educating with the plug, no harm intended remove if necessary) and take your PS2 out and hook it to the card and you should be able to take screen shots.

I did that with my last pc, it worked pretty good too, it also came with a program that let me record anything that I was watching on tv at the time. | |
