Heya, new user with some questions

  1. Is the PS4 title "ARCADE GAME SERIES: PAC-MAN" a valid port to run Pac-Man arcade on?

  2. Is it possible to get the time from a recording/stream afterwards rather than from a sync'd timer alongside the footage? (Perhaps something external like a phone timer could be used?)

3.If not, are there any alternatives to getting times from a console (PS4) without the use of a PC? My PC isn't powerful enough to encode footage for either recording or streaming well.

Thank you very much, and I hope to get involved with the community!

  1. You’ll have to ask the mods of the game (or check to see if it’s listed as an acceptable platform on the LBs).

  2. Yes, you can retime your runs after they’re completed in order to get a final/accurate time or use a timer on your phone while doing the run.

  3. No, you can’t run a timer on the PS4 when direct streaming from it. The only way to add a timer to a direct from PS4 stream is to playback the video of the run in a program like OBS and add the timer alongside it. Which you need a laptop/PC for.

Welcome and good luck!

Can you stream from PS4 on Twitch(or another streaming service)? If so you can use the recorded footage of the stream and add a timer/time it afterwards. (Forgive me if that doesn't make a lot of sense, I'm on break so rushing a bit).

Welcome and good luck!

That was exactly what I was thinking of doing TheGreatToddman. Thank you both very much!
