ESP32 as data recorder/sampler

Using Arduino Project Guidance
1

Hi everyone!
I'm trying to dump the data from an external parallel 8 bit ADC, it goes along with the clock signal for proper sync which is 6mhz.
I chose an ESP32-Cam since it already has a PSRAM and the camera is communicating via parallel 8 bits.
I figured it wouldn't be much different than the example of the ESP32-Cam but it heavily relies on the library that immediately fails if there's no actual camera because of the missing I2C communication.
Is there a better way to accomplish this? I'm very new to this high level of programming.

Thanks!

I have been in the Arduino camp for 12+ years and even now, before a project, I check over the projects built around the uC that I intend on using ... if for no other reason than for ideas:

Hi, thanks for your answer.
In my case i'm somewhat limited on what's available on the market where i live, shopping overseas is out of scope due to customs regulations.
The ESP32-Cam is the only way i have to get a PSRAM IC.
So it was an ESP32 or a ATmega328, maybe a Raspberry pico, I chose the ESP.
