Just find the PS2 VGA cable and connect it directly to a VGA monitor capacble of doing sync on green.

If your VGA monitor could connect via BNC, you could just buy three RCA to BNC connectors and conntect via a componect vedio cable.

There is no need for any vga adapter as long as you are in progressive scan mode.

Only a few Ps2 games use Progressive Scan (VGA). Outside of those titles, unless you are using an upscan converter, it is going to look like shit.

Hmm, I have one of those sync-on-green monitors, a big old workstation monitor. The problem is, I think its sync rate is something weird like 77Khz horizontal. It's not possible to make this thing work with any consoles, right? It's a pain in the ass to even make it work with a PC.

Consoles are 15khz. VGA is 31khz.

When you are in progressive scan mode, you got 31khz. Thus, your old workstation monitor should work.
