So I'm thinking of starting a livestream or a youtube channel or something of myself playing TDS. The problem of course is that it's a DS, so yeah, I have no idea how I'm going to record it. I know there are videos of pretty good quality of people playing TDS, and somehow Utada Hikaru was playing it on the big screen.
Anyone with any experience with recording a DS have any ideas?

You just need a tachyon amplifier and plug it into the flux capacitor's Y-adapter with the other end plugging into your DS's mic connector. You can find the parts at your local convenience store.

Lol caffeine nice. What I used to do when I was recording (never uploaded) was have a tripod right in front of me with the camera on it, aim it down and play the ds as usual. It worked fine.

Getting a direct from a Nintendo DS is quite hard. The only legal option I see is the Nitro DS, a capture device that is only available to journalists as far as I know. I know some guy build an USB capture thingy (along with a hack that enable him to play on a quite big screen), but then that is some ridiculously complicated work.

If you use a webcam or a camera, do use a tripod and macro focus. Otherwise you'll get a blurry and unreadable video.

Excellent trap.



QuoteLike many setups here, it is useful if your opponent doesn't move and you get 4 Ts in a row.

i used to try to play and record with a webcam but as you can see it didn't work out too well. it's too hard to try and stay within the boundaries whle playing and have the camera zoomed in enough to clearly see what's going on.
