   Anyone have any tips on getting the best video capture setup for a PS2? Emulation being dogshit for a specific game is holding me back and I'm sick of it.

     @triodug edited the usb capture link, it was wrong before
     The composite USB capture is fuzzy, but that's just how composite looks. I really don't believe in the "ultra clear pure pixel" shit that retro autists insist on, for games primarily played on budget consumer CRTs. It looks fine on the actually-playing side, and for the stream it's already being compressed to shit.

     @why @triodug Dreamcast VGA looks great, RGB is detrimental to 2D consoles though

     @triodug I tried plugging my Dreamcast into my elgato HD60s via HDMI converter and it didn't work, because its "480p" mode is 720x480 and not 640x480. Retro console video output is a whole new brand of autism, save the headache and money on looking for something HDMI and go composite.
     The splitter: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08L54X4JH
     The usb capture: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07NPFJJ7K/
     The audio: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B2HP1MW/
     I don't use the audio on the USB capture bc it's way way shitter quality from the capture box. Just setting up a mic input is way better and less latency (audio is more important than video)

     @coolboymew @triodug @why people argue about this I guess because people argue about everything. I have seen people insist that game artists did not design their art around television blurring. Maybe some didn't but some clearly did because we have pictures and only an idiot can't tell.

     @Moon @why @triodug yeah I saw that on /vr/, RGB is too clear or something and doesn't take as much advantage of the CRT blur
