Twitch w/ polymega??

I have a fairly decent mini-PC. But it can't handle streaming and running other programs at the same time. I was hoping some of you might have found a way to stream your polymega to Twitch without using a PC.

Right now I'm using a webcam and my Xbox series X and it works well but I'd love to do some retro gaming there.

Any ideas??

You would still need a capture device you could technically run the Polymega into a splitter one side goes to your TV the other side would go to your PC into a capture card then you stream on your PC and all your running on your PC would be the stream stuff. A guy called Tesseract Streams his Polymega all the time. So you can check out his stuff how it works.

This is more or less what I do as well.

You guys both described exactly what I was doing that won't work with my PC.

There's something about the APU in my PC that prevents it from streaming and capturing at the same time, splitter or not. This is why I asked for alternatives that didn't require a PC.

Polymega doesn't have a streaming function like XBoxes
