Hi! ive been speedrunning a ps1 game called Frogger for a few weeks now and I love speedrunning, its fun. But.... definetely hard to setup for noobs lol.

So I've had trouble figuring out the right setup i should purchase for streaming from a crt tv and ps2 console.

I didnt want something finicky to use. But also cant figure out the exact amount cords / splitters, which game capture card, and which cords in particular that i should purchase for my ps2-crt-pc combination to work correctly.

My crt only has the front av and an svideo in the back. Since the front av will be occupied by my ps2 av cords i need a svideo for sure. So would i need splitters and or would a single capture card in particular make this easier? This would help me out soo much if someone could lay it down for me. Ive done so much reasearch but still stumped. XD hope this is okay to post here :)

This document is my go-to for setting up streams for good quality https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Op8aK2RecKhjRJB7juOvwUjkXwBbL1eipxUpixBS2c4/

Hope it helps.

Ok I understand. :D Will the powered splitters give me controller input delay? Oh also whats the difference between getting 2 S-Video cables and getting 2 S-Video + RCA Audio Cables. like its fine to get 2 of either? considering one is just S-Video and the other has white and red audio color cables with S-Video.

1. No, a powered splitter is to prevent a loss of video or audio quality when you split the signal. Controller input displays are a separate piece of hardware that splits the signal from your controller to a USB device and to the console. Those aren’t easy to make without a background in electrical soldering and whatnot so I’d recommend finding someone to commission them out to if you want them.

2. If you can find cables that are s-video+audio cables then get those. I use two of the s-video+white/red audio myself and they work great. Obviously you don’t need to go out and buy s-video equipment if you don’t want to, regular RCA will be fine (s-video is just a small boost in quality)

This isn't really something I understand, so I'm gonna leave it to my buddy up above to help ya.

I will say welcome to the party! :D Great to have another runner in town. Can't wait to see what you do!
