Is there a way I can connect my xbox (original, black version) to my laptop, & use my laptop screen instead of connecting the xbox to a tv?
If so, how could I go about doing it? 7/22/2008 1:29:52 PM |

get a TV tuner for your laptop that supports whatever ouputs from the xbox (probably composite). 7/22/2008 1:33:32 PM |

be careful, some of those tuner cards/boxes can produce lag that makes it unplayable in addition to a really crappy picture.
Can't speak about that model but I've had experience with devices like that before and it was extremely disappointing.

of course that thing doesn't solve the problem at all unless your laptop has VGA IN. 7/22/2008 2:48:16 PM |

And how could I figure out if my computer has VGA IN again?

So the answer is that technically yes I can, but the gameplay wouldn't be good enough to warrant doing it? 7/23/2008 6:52:24 PM |
