I was wondering if it is possible to play my xbox on my video card ( i have a tv tuner card too) My card has a yellow connecter (like the red white yellow av cables) an s video connnector, one for cable, and i think that is all. I have looked for this info for a while, but I cannot find a decent answer. If anyone could help me, it would be greatly appreciated.

thanks

You may "view" the out put of your X Box on your Monitor, but you cant really "play" Xbox on it. Run the video input in thru the composite or S-video input, use your tv tuner software to select that input, view whats there.

Don't try any emulators. There isn't one that actually works, they are all just viruses or trojans.

the yellow one is all you need. the other two ( the red and white) are the sound wires. you can go buy a converter to put the red and white RCA cables into your "in" port on your pc so you get sound, but its alot easier just to put those two into your speakers or reciever as is.

so just put the yellow RCA cable into your your tuner card and put the red and white RCA cables into your sound system.

then go to ur local radioshack and ask for a "rca cable to headphone jack converter" then just plug the respective wires into the converter then plug the converter into your "in" port or "mic" port. then you can here it thru your PCs speakers.

lol...you could just be lucky like me and have a 15inch tv in the other room that can be jacked late night and sat on the dining room table diagonal to the pc and then chat and pop some heads in GTA VC lol...but thats the priceyer option
