I use a retrotink to convert ypbpr to hdmi, and pipe that through a capture card. when I tested frame delay, I think it was only a single frame...

I'm not a speedrunner, so a single frame is nothing. I can probably count on one hand the NES games that require 100% frame accurate inputs to beat the game. (Battletoads clinger winger comes to mind)

I honestly do not see the point of going to all the trouble of playing on hardware, to then convert it to HDMI. At that point just running Mesen on a PC can give you the exact same experience for none of the cost.

Hell, it's the reason I sold my Apollo Vampire A6000 Amiga FPGA emulator. What's the point in creating new Amiga hardware and then only providing HDMI out? WinUAE does a better job in both speed, latency, convenience, and compatibility than the A6000 ever could.
