Best capture device for streaming/recording footage from old game consoles

[Ravenfreak]

So I have an Elgato capture device as well as a device called a Digitnow! Unfortunately both of these don't work with my Sega Genesis 100% and the Elgato doesn't work properly all since the Genesis outputs in a weird aspect ratio that the device can't properly encode. Plus, the Elgato Capture device works with my other old consoles somewhat, but I can't seem to get OBS to cooperate with the device since it will output video but no audio. The Digitnow!, only seems to record audio from one speaker and it changes depending on if I use my mono Genesis cables or my stereo ones. (I haven't tried it with other consoles.) Right now I can deal with using the Digitnow and just edit the video in DaVinci Resolve to make the mono audio play in both speakers even though I'd rather it be in stereo. Are there any better options?

This is where AVerMedia Game Capture HD II or Razer Ripsaw comes in. They are good capture devices for use with older consoles such as the Sega Genesis for instance. It has a good audio and their compatibility is universal.
