Making my TV compatible for gaming? 2011-09-05 02:35:43 Reply

Long story short: I have a new tv. It's very big, but also very old. Is there a device I can buy to make my tv compatible with my ps2, wii, and 360? The main problem is that it does not have the red, white, and yellow plugs essential for modern gaming. Thanks in advance :)

If it doesn't have composite slots just put a scart block on your PS2 lead.

If it doesn't have a scart port then why are you living in 1980?

What is a scarf block? :0 and I assume this tv is as old as the 80's tbh.

This is a scart plug. The red, yellow and white cables will plug into it, and it should then plug in to the back of your TV. I can't imagine your TV doesn't have a socket for this. It's probably got at least two. Not sure about the 360 and Wii, but your PS2 should definitely hook up.

Lol now you're making me feel old :p

You should probably dig up the boxes of your consoles, because most consoles have a scart block coming with them in the box. At least, I know my N64 and Gamecube had one. Otherwise you can probably buy one at some electronics store. It shouldn't cost much.

They sell boxes that have multiple spots for consoles to plug into and it's got one of these wires that you can plug into the back of old televisions.

ffs, forgot picture.
This is the wire. Should have a place to plug into somewhere on the back of your TV. May have to unplug something if you've got Cable t.v.

Thanks for all the advice guys :) New question: since I have a cable converter (for my multiple systems), would I be able to plug the cable converter into the scart box, enabling me to play all of my systems? :0
