EasyCap USB video Capture for N64

Post by Jatz » Thu Nov 05, 2009 4:01 am

Hey everyone.
I hope this is in the right place since it does involve computer and N64.
Onto the question.
Im in need of a capture card for my computer so i can play my PAL n64 on it. Ive had the N64 for quite a while on a tv in another room on a tv. I dont have any space in my room for a TV screen and i do not want a really small 3.5" screen or something from DealExtreme.
Ive found the EasyCap USB video capture card and it looks pretty promising as there is some good customer reviews for it and a few videos of it in action on youtube.
Has anyone ever used one of these to record the N64? if so what kind of quality did you get?
And also was there any lag?
I dont want to actually record the gameplay (although i might at some point in time) so the reason i want this is just instead of buying a tv and using my N64 on my laptop.
Thanks!

EDIT: Heres a link for the product if anyone wants to take a look:

I have the EasyCAP.

I use it on my PS3 and it has no noticeable lag on Warhawk and Burnout Paradise. Quality is sort of in the low with composite cable, but great on S-Video.

Sorry, but no N64 here.

Cheers.
For $11 i think i can hardly go wrong with this if its been confirmed for PS3 by you and Xbox360 by other customers.
I should be ordering one today if im lucky. Hopefully it will work with my N64!
Thanks mate.
