400 euros...that's a bit overkill to use a few times a year ;)

The shitty thing is, if I buy something for that amount from outside the EU, customs will prolly charge something between 50 & 100 more...they once charged me 150 euros tax on something of $500 so I'm careful now :lol: . Customs here in belgium are real assholes
It's not something I need to have right now, was just curious what my options were, that's all

The cheapest way I've found to capture Dreamcast footage is to run the signal out of a Dreamcast VGA box into a VGA to HDMI converter and then with HDMI into a modern capture device like an Elgato or Hauppauge PV2. Total setup cost me about $200 USD. Granted I did use Ebay to get my Hauppauge PV2 used.

A picture of my setup can be found here : https://www.instagram.com/p/BIfeNTLhWRP/
