Hiya! Few Questions.

Hey all, I'm new to the concept of speed running but am excited to get into it. Currently trying to run Mario Bros 3 for the NES and I was just wondering about eventually submitting the run once I've practiced enough to time and record it.

Because I am playing from the system and on my tv I cannot seem to find a decent way to record the gameplay. The only thing I can think to do is literally set up a camera to film the TV (which I understand produces headache inducing video quality). Are there any rules against doing this? Is there a better way? Anything would help.

Thanks a ton

Hello,

Console speedrunners generally are using capture card. It's a tool you just plug in between your console, your TV and your PC, and it allows you to have decent capture of your game. One of the most popular is the Elgato Game capture. Other speedrunners will probably answer you with more informations.
