Help Wanted > Need help: DS video capture card for Machinima?

#162198 - zcl07 - Wed Aug 27, 2008 10:31 pm

I am currently looking for a video capture card that will transfer video from a DS (one screen only) to a computer for editing and uploading onto the internet. I know such a thing exists, I just (apparently) need someone to point it out for me.

For further information, if it is needed, I would require two of them that will work for displaying video of the game Legend of Zelda: four swords. one on an original nintendo DS and one on a DS lite. Any help would be appreciated GREATLY.

You could do it in code if you don't want realtime video. Or if your program works in an emulator, you could always use fraps or something like that?

For "fraps or something like that", a lot of us would have to buy a new PC with PCI Express. AGP video cards just don't have a fast back channel. Besides, are we supposed to be talking about dumping and emulating commercial Game Cards?

There's that NITRO video capture device, but I believe those are only given to official DS developers.

In fact, you don't even want to think about official development hardware as long as you're not an officially approved developer... with lots of "gold." ;^)
