Hi, i'm wanting to do a speedrun of a game I've wanted to play for years. Please don't make fun of me. I want to speedrun the Backyardigans game on the DS but I can't find a capture device anywhere on amazon that captures footage from a DS or other hand helds. How does one record footage from a hand held?

I've bought my DS capture card installation kit over here: http://3dscapture.com/ds/

Alternative option is to record your DS with your mobile phone or use NTR CFW capture software on your New 3DS but I am not too familiar with NTR CFW and speedrunning. For GBA games I use the Gamecube Player and my capture device. Or if it is available you could also check the Wii U VC games, there are a lot of DS and GBA games on there.

Hey, we've had discussions about all this stuff in another topic some time ago. You'll probably find some answers in it ;

Best way and cheapest way is to get a gorillapod phone stand and record with your phone. That is how I do it.
