Would this work?

I want to play my PS2 through my computer. TV cards have a lag. I tried an Adaptec Gamebridge but it doesn't run on XPMCE. But my monitor has several inputs, one is a yellow composite plug.

If I were to separate the yellow line from the PS2 composite wire and plug it into the monitor, then plug the red and white into some stereo amp, do you think it would work? Would the timing match up?

Why do I want to do this? Because.
 
Should work is my thoughts as well. Would be better if you had an S-vid cable or something, higher quality.

There is a chance that you monitors native resolution (I am assuming you have an LCD) will make the image kinda funky from the PS2.

Also make sure you are not confusing Component (RBG or similar) with standard RCA stereo and video plugs.

One way to find out for sure: Try it.

I did. It works great. All I need now is a receiver produced in this century and some smaller speakers.

When I think of all the hassle I went though with the Gamebridge and the TV card... what a waste. This was so easy and works best.

So now I am going to get myself a nice little power amp and some small, high quality speakers to run the sound through. I would also like to run the computer sound through it, so here is another question, even though it's not PS2 related anymore:

My computer has integrated sound with three plugs out that go to a subwoofer (pink blue green I think). I have seen adapters for running computer sound to an external amp, but they only have one plug into the computer not three. Will that work? Which one of the three would you plug the adapter into? Or would I have to get a seperate sound card?
 
If I'm not mistaken the green is the speakers plug, the red is the mic plug and the blue is a CD Drive or other external device plug.

Not sure though, check your motherboard manual for that.
