Having recently learned about the Gamecube's native digital video port, that got me thinking: would it be theoretically possible to hard-mod the PS2 (or really any analogue-only console) to have the same functionality?
I'm not talking about an analogue-to-digital converter, either. Those always introduce some amount of latency and quality loss, however small. I mean taking a raw digital signal straight from the Graphics Synthesizer, bypassing any internal converters that break out into composite and component analogue signals.
If this can be done, it would make for ultra-low-latency, lossless digital video ready for wiring up to an HDMI port, ideal for video capture and general gaming on modern displays.
Any ideas for how, or even if, this could be achieved?
