To this day, one of my favorite electronic devices I've ever used is the Sony DSC-1024G, a digital scan converter with a partially-analog signal path that, I've become convinced, can sync to just about anything.
It's incredible.
Many of these signals, you pipe into a modern device and they just tell you "sir, that's not PAL, that's a potato".
The DSC-1024G accepts whatever bullshit signal your 80s home computer, 90s game console or whatever outputs and turns it into clean VGA you can capture.
