how do you play your old playstation on your computer?

Question

i just got a free playstation and some games. is there any way you can connect it to your computer and play it from your monitor? i dont have a TV...

Answer 1

you'd have to buy a TV tuner card, crack open your computer and screw it in. then it would work. but do you really want to be opening up the inside of your computer just so you can screw something in? i think the TV tuner card would cost more money than a little 12 inch TV you could be buying at a pawn shop, but depending on where you went to shop, you might find a tuner card for around $20. sometimes you can even find tuner cards that can plug into your USB slot, so theres a chance if you shoped around enough you wouldent even have to open up your computer tower.

but, no, theres no way to just plug it strait into your computer and use your computer monitor as a TV. some gateway computers came with a TV tuner card, but unless you have an older gateway, i'd say theres no way your going to be able to make that happen without buying something else for it to work. sorry.

Answer 2

I believe you can but you would need a TV type input card for your computer to convert the signal.
