Screen recording for DS lite
5 years ago
United Kingdom

Hey all, I managed to get my R4 reading on my DS lite again after about 6 years since I last actually used it. Just wondering, is there any way of actually being able to screen record on one?

Apparently there's no way to install a capture board on the DS lite (only the older, bigger model) and I don't want to use emulators which most sites seem to suggest doing either, especially because they're not ideal for speedrunning on either.

I have also attempted streaming using my old Logitech C110, my Logitech C920 and also my phone which works alright and I could use this as my last resort if there's nothing left I can do. The only problem is my C110 only films up to 1024x768 and the quality is so bad on it and my C920's focus messes up because webcams obviously aren't designed for recording screens. I mounted my webcams under my loft bed where I have about 30 inched between that and my desk, for my phone though I can't find a good enough position with the setup I have to be able to set up my phone in an ideal place to show my DS.

I'm not aware of any other options I can give a try which is why I'm curious if anyone here can give me any suggestions not already mentioned, especially someone else who also used one for either recording and/or speedrunning. Thanks in advance :)

Depends what you’re playing and hand size, at least for my setup. If it doesn’t require L & R, then you can place it flat on table, use something to hold up your camera, and play with your fingertips

It gives you cramps for long periods of time though

I always put my mobile device in my own created Lego holder. Also a tip is to use the Kid Icarus Uprising stand to keep your DS up.

And maybe this video helps to finish it off ^^
