Hey folks! As y’all know, I run a space gaming blog, and currently it covers computer games exclusively. However, I’d love to capture some classic console space games from my Dreamcast or Playstation 2.
Therefore, I did some research, and I was gonna get this card:
To play and record the games on my PC, but now I’m being told that’s not the best option.
What I would love to do, ultimately, is to be able to connect a classic console via component cables to my PC so I can both play the games on my monitor and record/stream them via OBS.
Therefore, do y’all know of any solution I can get to allow me to do that?
Jeremy Parish did a ton of this kind of stuff for US Gamer and his own projects, I don’t know off the top of my head if he put any guides together but you might want to google around and see if you can figure out what he used for his setup.
If you have a desktop this card is a fantastic internal solution and will take care of anything up to 720p/1080i. One HDMI input and a dongle that supports component, composite and s-video inputs. Officially doesn’t support HDCP protected streams such as PS3 but you can find a patched client to bypass the restriction. I used this to stream some Mega Man 10 from PS3 a while back.
