Blaze VGA adaptor

[Caliban]

Archived from groups: alt.games.video.sony-playstation2 (More info?)

Hi

After persuading my son to settle for a good but redundant computer
monitor instead of a TV I'm now left with egg on my face as the VGA
adaptor be bought doesn't support his games out of the box. There are
some dead-end links to websites, some of which don't exist and others
won't yield their secrets.

An earlier message in this group described theh sam eproblem and the
suggested workround of using Gameshark codes seems highly unpromising
since the codes are way different and are for cheats as far as I know.

There is a rip-off telephone support line which I tried but after the
first selection it then rings out for ages whilst one is being charged
for the privilege.

I've sent an e-mail to the support line but I'm not expecting a lot.

Has anybody managed to get anywhere with this process?

.....and, having found a code, how does one enter it?

I don't have any experience with the device, so I'm sorry I can't really
help you. I'm curious, though, the adapter comes with a boot disc?

It does indeed and the menus on there allow for some video settings
and then selection of a game from the menu of games - after selecting
the game you insert the proper game disc. If your game isn't on the
list....????//

The might be where the gameshark settings come in. Do you have any of
the games that are listed?

Sorry I can't offer you any first-hand (or nth-hand for that matter)
experience.

Consider that PS2 games aren't written in VGA, therefore, look rather
fuzzy on it.

We have one that is similar and it plays reasonably well but it's not
perfect.

At least that's lived up to my expectations - my message is delayed
as 'host lookup did not complete'.

I'm curious -- what brand is it?
