Could you run old demos like Future Crew / Second Reality on this?

I’m always thinking about ways to capture old demoscene stuff in high quality video.

I don't see why not its basically a 386/33 performance wise. Why not just use PCem + OBS? If you go the mister route, the $50 capture box from EVGA works a dream. I'm able to get simultaneous component and HDMI using the analog add-on board. I run the HDMI out to a splitter then one output to HDMI>VGA for CRT monitor. The remaining HDMI cable to a capture box and pass through to my desk monitor. Lastly component in to a CRT TV. It all just works, at the same time.

PCEM it's far less compatible than an FPGA and maybe even DOSBOX-X in lots of cases.

Also, it requires a huge machine.

I can run 2n Reality in pcem on a jetson xavier nx with gravis sound. May be less compatible, but for things of 1993 era, it doesn't take that much machine.

Be sure to check out the old Mind Candy DVDs, they did a phenomenal job capturing demos to DVD and a blu-ray: http://www.mindcandydvd.com/
