What capture device do you use that accepts composite input and also output into a CRTV? I have one of those ancient original Hauppauge units that can probably do it, but at like 15-30 seconds delayed audio it probably won't work for streaming.

I never knew that the GBA could be used as a controller though, I'll have to try that out and see if it feels any better.

Thanks for the input!

For a while I've been running this game on a Gambatte emulator because it allows me to use a more comfortable controller with custom button mapping, but now that I've hit my personal goal on this game I want to try and make runs on the console work.

I understand the the following are needed to record on consoles:

-The Gamecube/GC Controller -A Gameboy Code Breaker for save states in order to play with tutorial skips -The Gameboy Game -A Gamecube Gameboy Player -A Capture card

I have all of these pieces and I've tried messing with a setup that works for me, but I've encountered a few problems-

1 - Input Lag

My current setup uses the gamecube composite cables into an upscaler which outputs to HDMI. I then go from HDMi to the Avermedia LGP, and from Avermedia to the computer and a generic HDTV. While playing other games on the gamecube I've noticed no major lag, but for some reason when I use the gameboy player things seem slightly slower to react whenever I press an input. This could be just because there are so many precise inputs when menuing, but I've noticed myself selecting the wrong card or attaching the wrong energy way more than usual.

2 - The Controller

I actually love the GameCube controller, but there is one thing that I really dislike about it - the D Pad. I have very large hands and I feel like every time I push a direction on the D Pad it registers as 2 different directions at once (ie I press UP but it reads as UP+Right). I've tried the analogue stick which is better, but still not perfect.

My question to you runners who play the game and record it on console - what setup do you use? Also, is there a recommended alternate controller that could work well instead of the standard one? I currently run a PS4 controller on PC and I like that each of the 4 D pad buttons are not connected to each other.

Thanks, and good luck with your runs!
