I'm specifically interested in the bridge to gambling encouraged by microtransactions in video games.
This is basically a stillborn project from when I looked things up.

I wanted to play Okami - (2006 game) on my PlayStation 2 again. My old monitor had an S-Video input, but newer ones do not.
There are little adapters and adapter-cables, but those will not work on most monitors. They are a sort of "straight through" adapter which rely on the monitor understanding the signal a certain way. I bought a "HDV-G3000 PS2 to HDMI Video Audio Converter Adapter 1080P" which did not work.
Solution: Most people have RCA connectors, but what you really want is to have the highest-quality output from the PS2 and convert it using a device. So you take the high-quality cable for a PS2, which gives you S-Video output, and plug that into a converter box. The plus side is you can do upscaling and probably video switchboxing.
I ended up getting:
An two-source audio mixer, so I can use one set of speakers for my computer and the PS2 is another project I only briefly looked at and haven't started yet.

I got this for Connecting a PlayStation 2 to a contemporary monitor. It works great.
I also got a Round to Flat Power Plug Convertor - Black to use with a two-prong flat plug.
When all the good of the gameplay is locked within memory and there are no current efforts which could build future nostalgia, something is very wrong.
