| The VR920 needs a VGA output that can display at 640x480, 800x600 or 1024x768. You could by a VGA adapter for either console and although I've never tried it, it should work. However you will not be able to see the games in stereo 3d or use the headtracking features. As a 2d monitor, its not really worth the trouble, unless you really want to game on your bed or in some weird position. The stereo 3d is what is all about, and you can only get that on the PC.

| I know this is a REALLY old thread, but I am new and a bit late to the party, just got my VR920 yesterday. I also wanted to use the VR920 to play some PS2 and such lying in bed.
I was annoyed at the fact that USB must be plugged into an operating computer to have the screens turn on, but here's the setup that worked for me after a day of fiddling.
-Slim PSTwo, connected via RGB SCART cable (Japanese pinout) to a XRGB-2 upscan unit. The XRGB-2 can take composite or S-video but RGB provides the highest video quality.
-VR920 VGA plug connected to XRGB VGA output.
-Headphones connected to XRGB line-out (in-line volume control on headphones).
-VR920 USB cable connected to a Sony Vaio UX-71 which was booted up and left idling in Windows. I guess any UMPC or netbook should do the trick, which should be quiet enough and low on power consumption. Just make sure you adjust the power settings so that the PC never goes to sleep after idling for 20 minutes or whatever. If money is no object then you can maybe build a dedicated computer based off those fanless Atom boards, and boot it off a CompactFlash card. Kind of ridiculous.
While I was waiting for my VR920 to be delivered to my home, I had modified another no-name cheap VGA box to be battery operated by 4xAA NiMH cells and also gave it a +5V passthrough USB output, so I was pretty ticked to discover my VR920 wouldn't power on. Because if it worked, it would be pretty much like a combined AV920/VR920. If I knew how to operate an oscilloscope, I could consider "faking" whatever USB communications are going on with a microcontroller, but that would add a lot of bulk and more or less defeat the purpose of having a compact mobile headset which I planned to use with my mp3 player... Either that or crack open my headset to see if I can force power it on somehow...
edit: typical newbie mistake, I completely missed the discussion in the General section with the info about USB enumeration and such. Anyway, I have discovered that the Wii USB port can be used to power the VR920, but the USB port on the PSTwo will not. Still, at least for myself, it's more convenient and safe to leave a Wii running for the purpose instead of a $1000 UMPC... |
