So here's the problem I have an old 2001~ tv(don't ask why i have it) that's pretty big. I wanted to connect my ps4 to it, but the TV does not have a HDMI port, is there some cord I can buy in (almost) any computer store (radio shack) tat could fix this problem

You didn't mention what ports have your old TV..

I assume it's CRT, not LCD/LED?

 

Early LCD had VGA 15 pins,

Later LCD have DVI analog, DVI digital, or both (better).

Having to convert HDMI Full HD quality signal to obsolete digital, or even more obsolete analog, would be dramatic loss of quality though.

There are HDMI to scart adapters you can buy for a few tens of bucks. However, due to scaling and whatnot, results may vary, if it even works.

None. It has those 3 classic video-3 in ports, the red white and yellow ports.

So you meant this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RCA_connector

 

Enter "hdmi to rca connector converter" (or adapter) to Google, and you have them f.e.

http://www.ebay.com/bhp/hdmi-to-rca-adapter

 

But you must be careful to pick right one: HDMI has to be input, and RCA output, not reverse.
