Guide to finding a RCA (Or Composite) Capture Card (Red, Yellow, White TV Input cables)

You can purchase a device called EasyCap, or any other RCA to USB capture card to help capture your N64 display. Buy at your own risk.

Typically on Amazon, EasyCAP or similar RCA (or composite, which ever you may prefer) capture devices are relatively cheap, and is BEST recommended when getting started capturing your game input, as the price cost is typically low (Roughly $7-$20).

HDMI Capture Card Information

If you WOULD like an HDMI capture card, Elgato HD60 (Or better) is the only capture card recommended as it's the only personally tested HDMI capture card in the community. This is not the ONLY option, but the only community tested option. There is cheaper third party HDMI capture devices you could use, but buy and test at your own risk.

Pros
  • Better Picture Quality
  • No Audio-Bleeding
  • More modern peripheral device. (Might support Windows 11 or other operating systems)
Cons
  • Expensive
  • Untested methods other than Elgato.
  • Possible Input Latency (for third party devices other than Elgato)
