Hey I would like to capture my switch gameplay and know that a capture card is the answer, but i have no idea what I need. From looking about, it's not making any sense to me, could i have some advice?

My first constraint is cost. I want to spend as little as possible. Secondly, I have a PC i can use and can plug into that, if needs be (i think this should lower the cost)

I don't need any bells and whistles, like (and i might be making some of these up) direct streaming, built in hard drive, microphone, floor sweeping capabilities, all I want to be able to do is send a signal to my PC to record.

I don't know if it would split the signal or if i'd play through my PC, but as long as there is 0 lag (so i can actually play it) then i'm happy.

If you can give some examples of the bog standard capture cards that would fit my bill, and mention any criteria I should be looking out for, then this would help so much.

Cheers, Kevichella

Hey,

Sorry for the question, but i recorded my first speedrun attempt at Celeste yesterday and didn't get the version number in the clip. I put the latest from the drop down and it got rejected for being an invalid ps4 version.

I don't have access to the playstation potentially for a few days, so i cannot play to see the version... would someone please be able to tell me the current version of the game, or how i can find out myself without starting the game?

The time is not competitive at all, i think i'll be 2nd last so hopefully won't be an issue there, but would like to still submit it as a starting point, and i don't want to just put what the other gamers have put as the last one submitted was a month ago and the rules say it must be the most recent version.

Thanks, Kev
