How to connect navigation gps with play station2 ?

**VladK1977** · 02-16-2007,06:01 AM

Hello to everybody!
I really need your help! I?ve got Sony PlayStation2, Slim 70008, chip modbo 1.2. I connected it with my laptop?s HDD through IDE interface. The game device is in my car when my child doesn?t play. Is it possible to connect it up with navigation device gps through usb? I?d like to use gps in my car. Maybe it?s possible to use the module of PSP or any other , just to make it work? Where can I get the software for it?
May be there is an emulator of PSP or anything else? Many thanks in advance to anyone who can help somehow?

that won't work. PSP and PS2 are too different and there is no psp emulator.

Yeah the only PSP like emulator I'm aware of is LUAplayer, and that's just....for lua lol.

Maybe there are drivers for GPS specially written for Linux?

That would really entail a lot more work than it's worth though
If I understand you correctly, you mean run linux on your ps2 and then run the GPS software on linux (which is on the ps2)?
First you'd have to get linux up and running which is no easy task, secondly you'd have to install a gui, and whenever you run that gui it's going to take up about 99 percent of the ps2's 32 megs of ram, and that leaves nothing to cover running any gps drivers or software.

I wish you luck though lol, why don't you just buy an actual in car GPS system?

Not only would you need GPS drivers for Linux, you would need GPS drivers for Linux on PS2 specifically. Same for the GPS software - it would have to be ported to the PS2. It's not like you could take bits and pieces of Ubuntu and put it on the PS2 Linux.

So, in short, this isn't going to happen unless you are semi-godly.

It doesn't require much efforts to buy GPS.
I just think that it may be possible to solve this problem at less attempt ( easier) ,
as everything is already on the spot and looks rather good,
and so there is no any space to put one more GPS screen

If there was a navigation.. But as I can imagine it's not so easy , and I'll have to look for another option
