Hi, I'm really new to this whole thing, I want to start streaming N64 gameplay but am still a little confused about what I need and which specific brands of things are good and which are terrible.. and I don't want to spend a ton of money on something that I will later find isn't compatible with my stuff or whatever.
According to the knowledge base I need a standard definition capture device for N64. So it will not work with an hd capture device? I'm asking because I thought I remember N64 streamers saying that they use an hd capture device but I could be wrong. ALSO, I have an HDTV, is there going to be any problem with compatibility with a standard def capture card or will it not matter as long as I can play on my tv? Finally I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction on which capture card I should buy? I don't want to spend a ton of money but I also want my thing to WORK (ie I heard the dazzle just straight up doesn't work for a lot of people). How much money realistically should I be spending on one of these? I have no idea.
The other thing I don't get is the power splitter. according to this https://kb.speeddemosarchive.com/images/c/cf/Streamingataglance.JPG I need one. Do I seriously need three sets of AV cables or what? And the power splitter has to accept the yellow white and red jacks but also has to have 2 ports for the other end of the cable? I've tried searching around but I don't know where to find something like that, can someone give me like an example of one? (like a link or something?)
If you answer my questions thank you very much, I know I'm totally clueless. i did try to read the knowledge base and search google to learn about this stuff but there was only so much I could find out/understand.
