     @coolboymew @internetfreak yes. I have three different hdmi input adapters here. I had a vga input adapter but it did not work. I am borrowing an expensive capture adapter that is supposed to work with macos but it doesn't work right but it sometimes works on linux. I just got another cheap 12 dollar adapter today, it doesn't work on macos so trying linux next. it is ridiculous how hard this is.
     
     here's the alleged "manual" for an elgato lol:

     @why @internetfreak @coolboymew you would figure that putting a digital signal into a computer would work better than an analog capture device, hilariously this does not seem to be the case.

     @Moon @internetfreak MacOS is kinda a shitshow because random crap can stop working between the yearly updates on top of the Mojave 32-bit support drop, so if you grabbed some old piece of shit there's no guarantee it will continue to work for Mac

     @coolboymew @feld @internetfreak literally all I want this for is the dreamcast, everything else I can use my retrotink for.
     
     I ordered a device that lets you put VGA into a retrotink so that will probably solve this problem at least on linux, can't do anything about my mac not doing sound correctly with any adapter I've tried

     @coolboymew @feld @internetfreak well originally it was for capturing TempleOS but that is also 640x480. That also failed for multiple reasons, though

     @Moon @feld @internetfreak @coolboymew worth noting that not every DC game supported VGA out as a feature, so you may want to check that list against what you want to capture.

     @Moon @feld @internetfreak @coolboymew that’s a nice comfortable use case. It’s been years since I tried to cap the dreamcast but I vaguely remember S-video being the output that played nice most often with my XRGB box. It was nice when the little VGA plug box worked, but I had some outliers that didn’t like it at all.

     @ooignignoktoo @coolboymew @internetfreak that's what I am going to do soon, I have an adapter coming so I can pump VGA into my RetroTink which will output bog-standard 1080p that anything should be able to capture.

     @Moon @coolboymew @internetfreak I wonder if it the adapter needs a DAC since VGA is an analog signal and HDMI is digital.
     
     It could also be due to the dreamcast outputting resolution at 240p and some adapters hate that signal/resolution. Something like an OSSC would bypass that with upscaling/converting the signal.

     @Moon @coolboymew @internetfreak I need to do something similar myself. If I wasn't worried aobut long term finances I'd love to get a DCHDMI kit to have build in HDMI on the console. The external HDMI adapter I got from pound works but it kinda sucks for my setup pound cable is great for a 720p display or lower but at 4k it doesn't scale right and the picture is too small.
     
     I've heard Flycast and NullDC emulation has come a long ways and most games I cared about on DC have ports on other consoles now so I've contemplated selling it but I got a lot of sentimental value over it since I got it for my 16th birthday.
