The first draft and part of a guide to getting game screens from a console has been written and can be viewed here. This first part deals with buying a card, what to look for, and the advantage of S-Video. Eventually I’ll write about taking good game screens using Dscaler. I went through some pains in my experience with video capture cards for the sake of getting game screens, and there didn't seem to be any resources that I could find about getting game screens from a console, so I thought I’d write a bit about the subject, maybe it’ll make it easier on someone else.
