PsP slim cable.

[Silenus]

Hello everybody.

I'm a little confused on which cable should I get for my psp slim.

I have an old 21" SAMSUNG Flat screen CRT sdtv and it only has the standart (1) video and (2) audio ports.

I want to get the cable to use the tv out feature to play games.

There are so many types of cables that I don't know which one could work for me.

Any suggestions?

Your only option is to get a Composite (RCA) cable, like this one:

CD Universe - PSP 2000 Composite Av Cable

If you wish to dispute this then there must be a battle to define the winner. Being the current champion Gladiator@ has pickings on the battle location and stipulations of the match.

Thanks for the recommendation.

But as the reviewer said it only allowed him to watch movies, not play games.

Seems I wont be able to use it while I have this old TV.

You are welcome.

He said it's only good to watch movies and surf the web.
I'm pretty sure you can play games using it, but I don't about the quality. =/

I don't think so.
I've read that only trough component, with a tv that has progressive mode, you are able to play games.

That's weird, there isn't a major difference (in compatibility) between component and composite. You should be able to play using composite.... I don't know the PSP hardware so well to say I'm 100% sure. So you'd have to make the test.

But I think you are right:

"Sony has added a TV output for the PSP Slim available through Firmware 3.60. The PSP can output in a conventional aspect ratio (4:3), and widescreen (16:9). It also offers a screensaver if the PSP is inactive for a set amount of time. It is able to output games, videos, and other media. To achieve TV output on the Slim model, Composite, S-Video, Component and D-Terminal cables are sold separately by Sony. Games are output as a progressive scan signal, which can only be carried by the component video and D-Terminal cables, and can only be displayed on a television which supports progressive scan"

Xploder Online | PSP | Shop | PSP to TV Adaptor Cable: Component and Composite 2 in 1 cable!:

"*Important Note: The PSP Slim & Lite will output games, UMDs, digital movies, music and photos via the Component connection. The PSP® Slim & Lite will ONLY output UMDs, digital movies music and photos via the Composite AV Connection. The PSP® Slim & Lite does NOT support games output via the Composite connection. This product is ONLY compatible with the PSP® Slim & Lite. The original PSP® does not have a TV out capability. PSP® screen is not visible when TV out mode is selected."

But don't expect great image quality even if you use component cable, look:

It's in portuguese, just check the pics.

The guy is saying that games don't use fullscreen, he had to use TV's Zoom to fill the screen. =/

Thanks for the shots.
Seems I was right.
I wont be able to test it on my TV.
