I am planning to purchase an Elgato hd60, as well as an N64, but I don’t want to buy the n64 card as well. I’ve found a composite-HDMI converter for around $20, and I was curious if it would provide adequate capture quality through the entire setup or if it’s worth shelling out the extra cash. I don’t have that much money to work with, so if it doesn’t pan out I’ll just skip the Elgato for now, as my HD recording setup is decent enough with my phone.
If you’re on a budget, just get a gv-usb2 to capture composite/s-video. A cheap upscaler like that $20 one you mention will most likely result in terrible quality and a ton of delay between console and capture (which will be unplayable if you’re not splitting the signal to a TV too).
A gv-usb2 is excellent SD quality and is only around $40 USD.
Can also get an elgato HD don't need a converter then as it has composite input as well as HDMI :) best of both worlds but if you want a cheaper option look at Timmiluvs option :)
I will look into that thank you @MelonSlice, it’ll be nice to have so I don’t have to tell everyone in my house that my room is quarantine for over an hour while I’m doing a run lol
