hmm

we've never tried it before but

would streaming games be a thing we could try doing maybe????

would people want to watch casual playthroughs?

we don't have a capture card but emulation exists

i am also not sure that ypbpr capture cards exist

if i do a stream (which will probably be friday or saturday), what game would people want to see me do? we don't have a capture card yet so it'd have to be a PC game or easily emulated game

wanna do something relatively unknown, but really good, too. Hmmm.

our desktop can run dolphin pretty well. maybe baten kaitos? what do people think of that?

@Felthry

Which platform? I might be able to help you get it set up without a capture card.

@Tathar PS2? We have an emulator set up but it's not the best

@Felthry

Yeah, those need a capture card if you're not using emulation, and emulation is risky/unreliable.

@Tathar it also appears impossible to get a capture card that works with ypbpr, everything we can find is just a recorder that isn't suitable for streaming

@Felthry

I don't remember what the ports are on a PS2, but if you can convert it to HDMI, you should be able to get a capture card at ~$100 for it.

@Tathar it's ypbpr max, though you can also use composite or s-video for lower quality

@Felthry

I'm looking for converters to HDMI for that. They should exist.

@Tathar looks like they do, yeah

our budget right now is $0 though so yeah
