Question / Help Streaming Atari 2600

[xucaen]

I am able to capture video from an Atari 2600 console. But some games jump around. This is due ot the Atari not putting out a consistent resolution. There is no frame buffer in the Atari 2600, so it was up to each game to display the correct number of scanlines, and indeed, the number of scanlines could change during a single game. Has anyone here ever streamed or recorded an Atari 2600 using OBS?

To the developers - is there a way to have OBS try to detect the resolution during streaming?

No, sorry. There is no simple way to check the resolution of a capture device with the graph active, some manufacturers have additional function calls to check resolution and such, but we don't have any device specific workarounds like that in the DirectShow plugin.

There are some capture cards that will scale the input resolution to your output resolution, though they are not very easy to find, and it usually isn't listed as a feature.
