Using Elgato to capture PS1 games on PS2
8 years ago

So I'm trying to use my elgatoHD to capture PS1 gameplay on my PS2 but I'm having a few problems. I'm using a D-Terminal cable to connect my PS2 to my elgatoHD then hdmi into my monitor. Everything works fine up until the point where I try to launch a PS1 game on my PS2 console, it displays fine on my monitor but it stops displaying in the elgatoHD program. I have tried a few PS1 games and they all do the same thing. It captures PS2 games fine it's just the PS1 games it has problems with.

Any help is much appreciated, im just trying to run some crash games without any problems and to stop using this emulator :P

Why are you using a D-Terminal cable? It's more comman in Japan than England, but I guess you could have the console.

The standard AV output cable of the PS2 is a composite cable, which you use the Elgato adaptor cable to allow for it / S-Video.

The ElgatoHD units are just HDMI in/out, so you'd have to be using an adaptor anyway, right?

The issue will be bacause of the console switching resolutions and processes to emulate a PS1 - which off memory did not support D-terminal at any stage.

Also, don't use the built in Elgato software. It's absolutely trash.

Yeah as far as im aware, PS1 games don't work via component/d-terminal. You will need to use RGB SCART/composite.

Sorry to revive a dead thread, but is there any way to record PS1 on PS2 without any additional adapters now? (Elgato)
