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

Talk about Déjà vu... this thread looks familiar somehow...

Look, you might eventually PM Ryosuke_Gunma...
Maybe he's up to it if you ask him politely? I'm pretty sure he speaks Japanese.

I myself don't speak japanese... but I think there are no big secrets on this page. The procedure is (i guess) very similar to hooking up PS2's for a LAN-Party:

1) Turn on all 3 PS2's
2) Plug in the Ethernet cables
3) Go to Options and set the PS2 in the middle to "Host: Yes", the other ones to "<Host: No"
4) Set the PS2 in the middle to "play" and the others to "cam"
5) Go to Arcade Mode and select LAN Race (with all 3 PS2's)
6) Select the auto LAN settings and hit connect
(I am not entirely sure about this, but it seems to help if the host PS2 is the
last one to connect... in my case at least)

Good luck! Maybe I forgot a detail ot two, but I'm pretty sure you'll get it to work. The only unsolved mystery that remains is how they connect a slim PS2 with two chunky PS2's...?

y would it be hard to conect the slim?, doesn't it already come with ethernet capability. the big ones have to have that alternate connection to it , no?

ok, figured out how to hook up the multiple monitors, now i need to know how do I delete this thread?

Work very, very hard at GTP and become a super-duper GTP Moderator
Overlord who has the right to delete threads...

Naw, seriously: You can't. No worries, as soon as no one writes into the
thread anymore, it'll disappear in the vast dephts of GTP's multiverse.

It seems that importants "details" are missing: I cant start (I tried for 2 hours) this 3 screens display at all.

Can you be more precise, please?

No problems to connect old several PS2 and several slim PS2 together with a hub... I tried and it works perfectly well for Lan Party!

 

[fideles1986]

did u set what camera angles you want on the other PS2's? (left,right,etc.)
ur going to have to input IP numbers to get it to work. I'll get u some more info in little time.

Sorry, nurburgring...
but I was just kind of guessing (as mentioned in the post).
So far I've only done a couple LAN-partys and no multi-monitor-setup myself yet. Maybe someone else can help out?

P.S.: 'Bout connecting old + slim PS2's... does your old PS2 have an ethernet port??? (Because mine has only i-link (small firewire))

 

[fideles1986]

you have to buy the adapter to connect to the back of the old PS2's

Alright, thanks for the info, I'm gonna look around.

I did a search for you. This forum is full of info. I hope this will help.

What tv's are you guys using?
Obviously the tv's with the thinist edges so you dont have such a gap between the screens. Would be an exey setup for 2 tho
6 tv's
6 ps2's
2 cockpits
2 seats
2 DFP
6 Gt4's
and wires ect...
Ouch!!!

or if you won lotto a couple of 40" LCD screens would do the trick quite nicely actualy..

Anyway gives us something to dream about,
