No, that wouldn't work for you unless you have an apple laptop of some sort (and I'm not sure there's any real Stepmania or DWI for apple yet)

But back to basics - what kind of TV do you have?

Where are you plugging your yellow composite (RCA) cable into the TV at? Is it labelled Video 1 or some other name?

Are you switching your TV to the proper video source to match your input? (Example: You plugged the yellow cable from the laptop into the back or front of your TV's yellow input - did you switch to the video source that uses that input?)

Trying channel 3,4,96,etc won't work for you, as you're not using a RF level input so you would have to switch to the right video mode.

If you happen to have component inputs (Red, Green, Blue) you could get a VGA to component cable for under $20 (as long as your TV supports sync on green or sync on Y)

But ideally, you should just be able to plug either an S-video cable or RCA cable from your laptop right into your TV and have it work.

Well, if you're running Stepmania on an Apple, theres your problem right there....

Just buy a really cheap ATi card. The 64mb non-pro 9000s are as cheap as $50. Or you could buy a PCI All in Wonder VE even....


You missed the part about the LAPTOP.... tongue.gif

OK, i have a standard TV, composite (rca, red white and yellow) outlets on it, i know which channels the video sources are on and have tried both, video 1 and video 2 (front in and back in) FN F4 on my laptop puts in on standby and f3 is crt/lcd, no other FN buttons say anything like TV/LCD.

i am running a LAPTOP on with 98 on it, i cant upgrade it because it is technicly owned by the government (long story)

im trying again in 5 minutes on my otha tv, ill write back in a sec if it works

Or does the TV do flips? How can you see the arrows if it's jumping around all over the place? Anyway, I think it's time I got my mandatory 4 hours of sleep

I was just google searching and stumbled upon this thread, and I wanted to find out how to hook stepmania to a TV. Can someone show me a photo of where I plug it in to the computer? And can someone recommend a good PC-->TV converter for under 130 bucks? (RCA plugin please)

In my experience, Composite generally sucks for PC output. S-Video is a lot better.

Agreed. S-Video works best for me too.

Shouldn't this thread by in the PC and Simulators forum though?

It was here in 2003, and maxx freak just recently bumped it. Yes, it should be there, but until he sees this response, I'm not putting it over there just yet.

Can I ask a little something?

I have a Win XP computer with good RAM, HDD and all the stuff to run Doom 3 on it. I have an Avermedia box plugged into a third party crappy USB 2.0 card.

I have a better Flat Panel LCD monitor (19") for my computer than I do in my bedroom (15"). So here I have my PS2 hooked up to my Avermedia box and I change the input source of the Avermedia software to SVideo or Composite and all I get is a black screen. I get sound though.

In the past, before the software upgrade I was able to view DDRMax and Max2 on my Avermedia and play it on there. It did not work with Konamix or Disney Mix though so that was when I decided to upgrade the software. And now, not even the cable input works for video. I get sound for everything so I know it's there.

Yeah but my dad works with old TVs and he has like 5 lying around the house.

Hey I said I was google searching, I didn't mean to actually search for a thread, it was just convenient.

Hey guys!

Lets practice!

FUCKING!

Yep.




Anyway, what would I need if I have an S-Video Output on my computer, and an S-Video Input on my TV?

Some Audio cable thing? My TV has a Headphone port, which is where I plug in my speakers, if that means anything.
