ValhallaI honestly think that this sorta discussion mainly belongs on reddit or something like that, but idk.
@Uniwersal the site mods mentioned in a few posts that they've been reworking and optimizing the site a lot recently, so it's caused a lot of down time or a handful of problems. Part of this change is the new 1k character limit on forum posts.
I've literally never heard this complaint. I don't think it could be any easier to sign up and use.
@EmeraldAly I'd say MK7, 3D Land or world or whatever that game was called (the 3ds 3d platformer) if you want to use almost every button.
It's really not all that difficult to learn to use the system though, it's built for children to use, but those would probably be the best if you're having problems learning everything. Once you get comfortable with it though, I'd recommend advance wars: dual strike and advance wars: days of ruin. They're 100% not speedgames, but they're very fun to play casually. And of course I'd also recommend all the pokemon games for DS (not the 3DS ones) being platinum, soulsilver, white, white 2 (but you want to wait for those insane prices to drop back down).
That's a solid guide ngl, I'll try formatting this like that at some point (either when they let me or when I have a lot of free time)
@Matse007 fair, but I think it'd be nicer to have it on-site, although if this forum thing doesn't get lifted soon I might just have to. @Dyne_Nuitari thanks for your inputs, I'll add them when I can
@Matse007 Your complains are completely valid. I will do my best to expand on products I have knowledge about and attempt to better explain when they should be used (so far all that exists is a link to the other pinned thread). However, this post was and is supposed to be a community consensus, and I was hoping that people (such as yourself and the others on this thread) would come by and drop knowledge on capture cards/methods not coved on this thread, or bring up good points about a certain method of capture / correct things that have been stated incorrectly. As to how this is better than a reddit post, I'd probably say that's its more accessible and easy to find than a reddit post, which often has limited info., and I'm hoping that over time this can be written in a way that should help everyone understand the different choices they have without having to pour in hours of research to make the best choice.
@Dyne_Nuitari this is simply a list of everything I could find with some form of reliability. I was haoping that for console I personally had no interest in (and therefore haven't researched) that others like yourself would come along and make suggestions, and that anything that seems off could be corrected by others. This isn't supposed to be the 'definitive list' to capture cards, it's suppoed to compile all suggestions made by the community (which I guess I failed to explain well at the top of the thread, and is something I will change with Matse's suggestions). Also I believe the section on the dazzle states it's worse in every aspect and more expensive than the gv. I appreciate that suggestion for the genesis and I will add it whenever I can. In terms of capturing a real genesis, I have no clue, I've never had a reason to figure out how.
Section 15 and 16 of the FAQs https://www.speedrun.com/speedrunning/thread/pt010
@Matse007 In terms of missing some hardware: at the top of the thread I mention that people should send suggestions to me or in this thread (which they have) In terms of the HD60 vs 60S, you make a good point, I'll make sure to update that (when it lets me) In terms of latency, I haven't tested a lot of this hardware, simply been recommended by others + even if I did, I always use passthrough so I don't get that latency (or at least latency I notice) In terms of the complex topic, I honestly don't have much to say. I guess I could add a disclaimer other than 'capturing with a phone is always allowed and preferred', but I feel as though there should be a thread for people looking for capture cards to look through, since I had a very hard time finding the good capture cards on my own.
This is probably the last post here, I'm getting bored of this
I kinda wish more people could answer this, but nothing comes to mind :p
@cats apparently there was a silent update :p Guess I can't update this for a bit. https://www.speedrun.com/the_site/thread/kd1q6/1#bge8s
That sucks, does that mean I can't update that thread anymore? People have made more suggestions.
If I were to do it, what console should it be listed under? Or would it count as an emulated run?
