multi-monitor setup

[bkyle]

I am building a cockpit for gran turismo 4. I saw in the setup that a multi-monitor setup is possible. I understand that I would need 3 PS2's and 3 GT4 games to run 3 monitors. Is this correct?

Would this be a left side view, right side view and front view?

Curious about this, if you have any experience please let me know.

Thanks

Yes and yes.

ok

how do I hook them up?

run all cat 5 cables to a unmanaged switch?

Is it possible to hook up 2 separate systems like this and link them together to play against each other?

This is sounding too good to be true

Yup.

That's a good question ... I see no reason why it wouldn't work. But you got to make a photo as soon as you got it.

Yes. It is possible.

Now is the time to join the GT4 haters club (red pill) or the GT4 lovers club (the blue pill).

It's your choice.

Multiple monitors @ 4/3 and 16/9
I got the link to the pages, but it's all in Japanese ( i think )
In these pages, there are all the steps into completing the setup.

Anyone want to translate the settings for mulltiple monitors?

I'm also trying to build an awesome cockpit.
Good luck to all of us!

Holy Cow!!!
Thanks for the info, fideles1986. The setup also works during replay, huh? Didn't know that.
The screenshots of the replays look absolutely great...

Where are the japanese speaking GTP members??? Some Translation would be great...
Thanks in advance if anyone's up to it...

There's one thing about this that I don't understand:
How the hell do they connect two old PS2's with a slim PS2?
(Because I have two slim and one old PS2... and I never thought I could eventually hook all three together...?)
