[Question] Hooking up a console to a laptop

OK guys, I need your help! I'm at work A LOT. I have very little free time outside of work, but I'm able to pretty much do whatever I want at work. I have a laptop with me that I bring here every day. Now I just recently got a whole crapload of new games thanks to christmas, but I have no time to play any of them. This is where you guys come in. Is there anything I can get to hook up my console to my laptop? I think something like a USB TV/in card of sorts? Any suggestions would be highly appreciated!

A USB TV tuner is pretty much the only way to go with this. Adaptec makes something specifically for this application for $30.

There's some input lag and, as mentioned in the product reviews on that kind person's link, the sound tends to go out of sync after a time. Never affects recordings and you can fix it by opening and closing the application. I found it perfect for the PS2's vast library of Japanese made RPGs and such, but you'll find the input lag can disrupt you if you're trying to play things like Gradius V or Street Fighter Alpha Anthology.

DScaler - Download

I hear Dscaler helps with the lag, but I'm not sure.

That's good to know since one of the games I wanted to play here was Fire Pro Wrestling Returns. Thanks for the info!

Also, thanks for that link! I'll try all this stuff and give some feedback as soon as I get paid.
