I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for capture cards that work well with wii

cheap 10-20€ off-brand hdmi capture card will do

If you have the money go for this https://www.amazon.com/DATA-connection-video-capture-GV-USB2/dp/B00428BF1Y
Its a well known and used capture card for AV if you plan on using an av to hdmi converter use this, it's my personal hdmi capture and it works well https://www.amazon.com/Mirabox-Passthrough-Nintendo-Streaming-Recording/dp/B08QJ84JNP/ref=mp_s_a_1_1_sspa?crid=3TMYTBY3X75XX&keywords=mira+box+capture+card&qid=1666030532&qu=eyJxc2MiOiIxLjcyIiwicXNhIjoiMS40NCIsInFzcCI6IjAuOTIifQ%3D%3D&sprefix=mira+box+ca%2Caps%2C1173&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1

Soon, I am going to buy a capture device that intercepts (takes input from console, outputs to monitor) video/audio signals via HDMI and records locally to a flash/hard drive. Just get a 1-2TB hard drive and one of these capture devices from EBay/Amazon/wherever. I have heard people say that the AGPTEK EzCap 284 is one of the best ones there are, for like $75 on EBay, and you can get a 1TB hard drive for 5-15 dollars.

im gonna be the one saying you can just record with the phone pointing to the screen just in case you didn't thought about that one

Everyone Thanks for all the advice! This will help
