I want to start speedrunning fire emblem awakening and im wondering how i should stream my speedruns. Id prefer no downloads and nothing that costs money. Thanks in advance!
Ghetto stream with a webcam on your shoulder (y) (if you have a webcam).
But streaming from a 3ds is hard as there is afaik atm no capture device available (and that would cost money).
Capturing a handheld is quite complicated, since they (usually, speaking of 99% of them) don't have any output signal like a normal console has (so you can put it to your tv), since the screen is already included. For older handhelds there're maybe console-adapters like the Gameboy-Player for the Gamecube, but that isn't the case for a DS/3DS/New 3DS.
Like trollbear said, cheapest way to capture it: Use a (web-)cam. You can either try to point it onto a desk and you're not allowed to leave that area or come up with another solution (BTW, I have never heard anything about using a webcam on your SHOULDERS WutFace ). To have it easy with controls and good quality you simply HAVE to modify your handheld with an build-in capture card which is quite expensive and takes quite long (Mine took 6 months O,..,o).
