I need big-time help if anyone is willing :)

Can some please explain to me how to use a capture card to capture PS2 games? Like even how to connect to my PS2 and TV. The exact model of card is the IO GV-USB2 (recommended to me by Carcinogen I believe), Im just very computer stupid and stuff thats obvious and known to alotta gamers in 2017 is over my head :/

I can probably figure out how to run the capture card once connected as theres a guide for that, I just need to know how to connect it the best way to the PS2 and TV without frame drop, etc etc. Do I need a splitter or 2? I can get 12th at least on the RE2 leaderboard if I can submit my runs. Thanks!

Frame drops won’t occur as a result of capturing, frame drops occur when your internet isn’t good when streaming.

If you want to both capture your gameplay as well as play off your TV, yes, you’ll need to split the signal. If you play off your computer monitor or use low quality splitters you might notice minor input lag. I use a powered splitter, which is just one that plugs into an outlet, to split everything 1-to-1. After that it’s just one set of cables to the TV and one to the capture card (the console cables go to the splitter).

I used this guide on what equipment to buy and how to set it up with OBS and whatnot.
