good enough for me

So I wanted to record some of my DOS VGA programming projects on real hardware. I first hooked this thing up to my AST 486sx and it worked fine in text mode, but as soon as the resolution was changed from 320x200 to game there were horrible vertical lines running up and down the frame. (It was the onboard AST graphics.) So I hooked it up to my custom Pentium 133 with an s3 Trio64+ graphics card, and the thing worked great in every game I played; Alien Carnage, Doom, Keen Dreams, Captain Comic. I didn't have to use a passthrough either. So I think it's the nature of the animal. I have yet to try this out on my IBM PS/2 Model 70. But I'll update the review when I get around to it. Also, I used OBS and the audio worked fine. The photos I've attached are snapshots of the video I captured in VLC after it was rotated.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • weak
