Great, the cheap chinese HDMI capture device works in combination with the #OSSC to capture the #VGA output from my #486 machine. This means I can now record the screen directly instead of by pointing a camera at it. And possibly more, since the OSSC has other inputs besides just VGA.

Oooh neato! I need one of those!

Where'd you get it? Whats your capture device?

@tomjennings The capture device is this one: aliexpress.com/item/1005006834… - but I don't think it matters much which one you get, they're all basically the same chip inside.

The OSSC is the expensive bit of kit, I got it from here: videogameperfection.com/produc… - it's the older model. I'd have preferred the newer model if it was available, because that has an add-on module to also capture RF inputs. But I hope to fix that with a separate RF tuner (aliexpress.com/item/1967021268…) which outputs VGA.

The VGA capture I have now is not perfect, there's some glitching going on in certain video modes. Not sure what part of the chain is causing that though, but I can live with it for now.

@gmc @tomjennings I've had pretty good luck with one of those "Rullz 4k USB3" HDMI capture sticks in combination with my OSSC v1.6. I've had some issues with my OSSC when I switch between two video modes that are very close in resolution, but not the same. Like a high-resolution text mode and 800x600 graphics. For that, I find that switching input and back helps getting the OSSC resynced.
