Recording / Broadcasting console / handheld games - Link - 2011-12-09
Is anyone an "expert" in this stuff? I'm thinking about finding something new to occupy my time with now that I've finally got away from this horrid MMO, so I thought about doing video game play-throughs for my Youtube channel just for fun or just doing live streams for my friends to watch.
What do I need to record/broadcast (preferably direct streaming) from a Nintendo Wii / Nintendo DS (Lite) / Nintendo 3DS?
I've tried broadcasting/recording off of emulators before, but my computer is far too weak to do such a thing, sadly.
I've tried Googling this, but the results I can only come up with are "watch movies on your Wii with Netflix!" ._.

I'd guess you'd use one of the "OUT" ports from either your video game or TV to make the video information go to your computer.
Then you'd need a program that gets that info and records it.

Dunno about the handhelds though. ):

Nintendo handhelds are a bit complicated to record. They usually need some kind of hard mod for them and well not many people have been successful with 'em so far. I do know there were two mods that were being sold(Korean I think) but they were discontinued. I do also know of a project that was in the works for another ds capture card but I'm not too sure how much it's progressed.

It has chuggaaconroys attention for sure so it could be a decent breakthrough.
As far as recording consoles go, I'm in the midst of getting a decent capture card(Actually waiting for one as a present) to give it a go myself. This is the one I've been looking at for reference: Hauppauge Colossus PCI Express Internal HD-PVR
Shiiit, it went down quite a bit from the last time I saw it.
Edit: Yeah, I'm using component cables Wii wise myself so I figured this would be the best solution for me. There's plenty of others that work with Composites as well. Just Amazon capture cards and research from there.
Edit edit: This article shows the two discontinued ones I was talking about earlier http://www.screencapturenews.com/2009/07/07/capturing-video-from-nintendo-ds/
