How do I record and submit a run?
4 years ago

I signed up for speedrun.com yesterday and I don't know how to submit a run and how to record it. I use an Android app for splits and I might use a Chromebook to record it. I use an NES Classic. Do you recommend that I buy extra equipment?

Please don’t post the same thing in multiple places, you already posted this here https://www.speedrun.com/Speedrunning/thread/ya2sn

But in order to record anything from the NES Classic, you need an HDMI Capture Card (and hope that it has drivers for a Chromebook if those things can even support capture devices). That last part is a big question mark for me as I’m not sure what a Chromebook can do - but it’ll need Capture Card drivers for whatever brand you buy and software like OBS to actually record the run.

If a Chromebook can’t run either of those, then you either need to purchase a different PC/laptop or you’ll need to record from your phone’s camera or some other form of webcam pointed at your TV.

@HappySpeedrunsGames Unfortunately, users of this site have to be at least 13 so I can’t really help you. The internet can be a dangerous place, make sure you’re careful.
