Question / Help Window Capture is a mess.

I am using OBS to capture my 3DS display window, and it 1) is stuck on the first frame that it captures, doesn't move, and 2) is overshadowed by the OBS window itself.
Since I am recording a 3DS, there are 2 instances of Window Capture in the same scene. I would use Game capture, however I would be unable to crop it to capture just one screen to fit my overlay.
I am running Windows 7 with aero enabled, a GTX 1080, set as the same display driver as the 3DS display software and OBS.

Here's the log: https://gist.github.com/d51968cf42aafcb2a56d7e5726935f00

Thank you.

OBS Studio is probably going to be better for you for a number of reasons:
  1. It's actually being developed. Classic hasn't had any meaningful updates in over a year
  2. You can add an existing capture source to a scene and crop the two sources differently
  3. If there's actually a bug in the capture code, studio is likely to get fixed. Classic is not.

Studio gives me the same issue. Tried with both Game capture and window capture. Maybe Windows 7 just doesn't play nice with OBS.

Try with OBS Studio doing the following:
New Scene COLLECTION
Game capture the emulator
Alt+drag the borders to crop it
Add the EXISTING game capture to the same scene, alt+drag the borders of that to crop the other screen

Is OBS on the monitor attached to your integrated graphics card instead of your real graphics card?

You really should have both monitors attached to your real graphics card anyway.

Then why are both your classic and studio logs showing a display attached to the integrated graphics?

It isn't a setting. One of your monitors is physically connected to the iGPU port on your motherboard. It needs to be connected to your 1080 like your other monitor.
