Hello, I have recently got myself a PSP, have speedrunned older RR-games like 1 & Revolution on PS1 and would love to expand my RR-games to run. Any tips for direct capturing the game like equipment/capture card recommendations etc. Thanks in advance!

Yes! Do you have custom firmware on your PSP? If so, you can use a tool called RemoteJoy Lite to capture your PSP screen through USB cable. https://www.psx-place.com/resources/remote-joy-lite-0-20a.219/ Let me know if you need help setting that up, it can be a bit annoying if you're not familiar with this kinda stuff.
One thing to really keep in mind, is that it is highly likely that all loading screens on your PSP might be very long, compared to loading screens in emulator runs. DarkJarris and me have been thinking of ways to get around this and make runs fair, no matter if you're on actual PSP or an emulator, but we've not yet found anything. Just something to keep in mind :)
I personally dislike idea of softmodding systems, unless I have spare one of it in my disposal. So I do not have custom firmware :/ Tbh. Never had any system with soft mods. I do want to do runs on official hardware and my current PSP is 3004 (with awful batterylife :/)
So I've just done some searching on the web, turns out you can get video out of 2000 and 3000 series PSPs, which I didn't know about (I've only ever had a 1000 series, and besides that I know little about the PSP). You'll need a PSP component cable, and some way to capture the component signal. Hope that that helps!
