How do speedrunners like Darbian and Kosmic screen record? They play in tv too… So how do they record? Pls tell if somebody knows how to…
They run the cables through a splitter, with one end going into their TV, and the other going into a capture card of their choice which lets them record gameplay. What cables they're using, what capture cards, etc, all vary from runner to runner. The GV-USB2 is a common one for runners who use either composite cables or S-video consoles like the NES/SNES etc. In the case of Kosmic however, I believe he has a Hi-Def mod for the NES so he gets an even cleaner video than you would otherwise get from an unmodified system.
That would be entirely up to you. There is at present a top level run in Any% where the runner just has a camera pointed at their TV, and many games allow such runs as sufficient video evidence. Someone else here might be able to elaborate more on why you may or may not want to get a capture card. I'd personally though recommend against buying one until you're confident that it's something you're really going to get a lot of use out of.
Joedbaermilk I actually did that in my SNES speedrun! I am on 145th position is Super Mario Bros. All Stars! You could see a little part of my tv in that run, which was very unsatisfying :( I wanted to record a clean and good video
correction: both kosmic and darbian use an rgb modded console, not an hdmi one. hdmi mod actually is slower as it clocks the console down to 60 flat fps to handle hdmi
Hey Validusername16, I’ve given a run for verification… Can I get a status for the verification? Just asking if u dont mind :)
We will verify submitted runs when we have the chance. Please continue to be patient.
i personally dont know, i am not in the community as much so it depends just search online for some good ones
personally, playing on computer for nestopia or some other emulator and screenrecording is the easiest and requires little effort. but if you are playing an an actual console, then i do not know
Use an rca screen recorder. Its like an hdmi screen recorder but for rca. Then stream the live footage. https://www.amazon.com/RCA-HDMI-Digital-Converter-Recorder/dp/B017MY5URY
So convort than livestream the hdmi output. Heres a cheaper one https://www.amazon.com/Converter-Amtake-Composite-Adapter-Supporting/dp/B07MJTR9KS/ref=asc_df_B07MJTR9KS/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=309750549985&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=5902139794674115846&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9017103&hvtargid=pla-662235628062&psc=1
Hello moderators, can u verify my run pls? It’s been over a week since I submitted it… I’ve deleted the run and submitted again just in case you had some problems… Pls do verify as you have the chance plsss… Thanks
Lencelincoln214 thanks, I feel I should buy the AV to HDMI converter, but will the converter work in laptop? If I want the display of the game in laptop?
I understand being excited for your run to be verified, but you have to realize that the mods for this game have tons of runs to verify, as well as internet/personal lives. Like sr.c says, sometimes verification can take 3 weeks. After all, this is no Wolfenstein 3D lol.
Any% (NTSC) runs below 4:57.000 must now fulfill additional requirements in order to be verified.
- The run's full session must be included in the submission description.
- For emulator runs below 4:57.000, some form of input display must be visible for the duration of the run. A hand-cam or input
