Streaming a NES?

[funkybananas7]

I posted this on reddit aswell but thought I would spread the range a bit. I am a relatively small streamer(funkybananas7 on twitch) but I did save up recently and bought a capture card so I could dual PC stream. I have also recently acquired myself an og NES that as all things back then, uses analog. So I was wondering if I were to buy an analog to hdmi converter would i be able to stream my gameplay with ok quality to my lovely viewers or would there be some constraints, etc.

You can stream, but keep in mind composite video (that yellow RCA cable) does not really look... Very good. Converting it to digital is of course not gonna make it any better.

These games and this system is made for older TV's and thus doesn't have the greatest quality video.

 

This video might show some ways to get the best quality out of the system:

I used to stream NES, I used a AV2Mini with an LGP Lite and that's pretty much it, is the cheaper setup and it works for all consoles from that time.

There is a mod that adds HDMI but it's rather expensive then just getting a box that converts composite to HDMI.

Read that. Nintendo is very iffy when it comes to streaming.

A capture card is a way to do it, yes. Another alternative is using an emulator and skipping the capture card entirely.

 

If you can find a reasonable analog (RCA) to digital (HDMI) converter, then it should work for what you want. https://amzn.to/2lbRiTx

That one's a cheap option. I don't know how high quality it is though. (If you get it, let me know if it's worth buying or not. I'm still searching for something (such as that) for connecting my PS2 to one of my monitors!)

Well I've seen some cheap capture cards which had RCA on them so maybe those may come to use. You should be able to find them anywhere, I found one even on wish.

Also here's an Amazon link to one of them
