So can I use a capture card to view gameplay in almost real-time on my PC so I don't have to buy and fit a TV in my small room? I know that it only shows a recording as if it were on an actual TV and doesn't accept input. I want to play on my old Wii so I can use actual hardware to play but on a laptop as a TV sorta.
 
Solution
You can, but it will be far from real-time. I have tried something similar when XBox360 was a thing, and it did not work for all but simplest, slowest games.
