H.E.R.O. & King's Quest III Apple II RGB2HDMI Capture
7Some time ago I obtained an RGB2HDMI and an Analog Board and made a capture of Sea Dragon with my Apple IIe. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=erJLFWQn7rk
The RGB2HDMI is a daughterboard which plugs into a header on a Raspberry Pi to work. My Sea Dragon capture used a Raspberry Pi Zero WH as its base RPi. More recently the Raspberry Pi Zero 2 has become available for MSRP and I bought one recently because it has improved functionality with the RGB2HDMI in one important respect. The additional hardware of an RPi Zero 2 or a regular 3 or better allows for improved composite artifact color decoding over the original Zero or earlier RPis.
In this capture I have used H.E.R.O. for high resolution graphics mode and King's Quest III for double high resolution graphics mode. I have also used a method to record the Apple IIe's speaker directly instead of using a microphone or a Mockingboard/Phasor, both options having their own flaws. Unfortunately I did not realize that my webcam's microphone was being recorded during the video capture, so you may hear sounds of the joystick movement and keyboard typing.
Although the NTSC color decoding from the RPi Zero 2 is not the most subtle I have ever seen, I think most people will deem it a significant improvement over the decoding that the original RPi Zero was able to process.
