    If the card originally came in retail box, you got ATi's viewer software on the CD that came with it.

    Of course. Video game consoles are just like any other kind of device that emits a video signal. The video-in port doesn't care where that comes from, whether it's a camera, a VCR, a DVD, a video game console or whatever else you come up with.

    You need to connect the audio signal too - into the soundcard's Line-In - and enable the Line-In in the mixer applet.
    Viewing the video source is best done in the viewer application that hopefully came with that video card. Else look whether things like MediaPlayer support that input.

    install and use the ATI player that came with the card. do as peter says with the line in cord

    i repeat this because i have an old all-in-wonder and i use it all the time to play nintendo 64 games on an extra pc. works wonderful

    thier great cards to play with, im trying to find me a newer one. my old one only has 8 mb
