RCA = Red/Yellow/White.

Just make sure you know if your splitter needs the female or male inputs, so that your cables all line match up correctly and you don't end with extra ones you won't need.

Are you specifically wanting to use the plugin for some reason? Because it's not necessary and could perfect OBS's performance.

Yeah, that's the general premise behind all capture cards. Just need to identify some sort of RCA split, the find the two cables you need. One be like RCA to RCA (most likely) for TV, and the other RCA to USB or HDMI, or whatever the capture card takes (if it takes RCA even better). Just got to make sure all your cables and inputs match correctly, but anything that is RCA to anything is going to pretty cheap, as well just general RCA cables.

Also, Timm shared this elsewhere; might be a help: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Op8aK2RecKhjRJB7juOvwUjkXwBbL1eipxUpixBS2c4/edit

Don't know much about capture (yet), but generally if you are streaming a PS2, you need 3 PS2 cables (or 2 PS2 cables and some sort of PS2 to what input you capture card has).

One cord goes from PS2 to a splitter. Another goes from splitter to TV. The third cable goes from splitter to capture card.

EDIT: When I say PS2 cables, it looks you need 1 PS2 cable, 1 RCA splitter, like an RCA pass through (female to male piece), and then an RCA to whatever your input you capture card has.

That is weird that it's partially acting as an obsolete run on the game lb (even though the run doesn't say obsoleted) but shows up on your profile lb.

Have you tried posting about it in the Discord for SR.com in the Bugs section?

@oddtom Lack of interest and because music is easier, funner, and the gigs pay.

@Tron_Javolta I think I got a name for mine.

Hello. The best place to ask this is in the Metroid Fusion forums, if there isn't already a post about it. Also check the rules for the game to make sure there aren't any banned ones.

It's one of those things where it's clearly a useful feature for decent people who are just trying to use the site; it's just unfortunately the case that there wasn't some sort of edit log, which allowed people to abuse the system for their shenanigans and make it look like other people were saying things they weren't.

Use to do stand-up comedy. Thought about possibly doing a podcast. Came up with a name for it. Never did the podcast. Quit doing comedy. Held on to the name in case it seemed appropriate again.

Honestly, people more likely to speedrun a whole mountain than a slew of individual levels (it gets time consuming to run and moderate tons of tiny levels). Would probably also be annoying for casual players to have to answer "No" to a replay question every half minute or so. If said check marks have splits in the timer though, that's pretty useful.

Never played a downhill mountain bike game before, but from the description, it seems like it is already set up for speed running for the most part. The only thing I can think to add, there is either an internal timer for the levels, or some clear indication in game when the frame has begun, and when the "run" has finished.

thread: Family Feud

Hello. I was thinking of running the NES Family Feud. Is it possible to have it added here or should I request it separately?

Likewise, don't know the game, so there could be something I'm missing.

But I counted about 4 slow downs, where DK is clearly losing its max velocity. One of them was because you got stuck on a wall for a second.

Other than that, nothing really stands out to me, but since I never played there is a lot of nuance missing there.

Each game has its own thread, in the left hand bar of each game page. That's the best place to ask game-specific questions.

Hello. Wondering if it's possible if other difficulties can be added as categories? Thanks in advance.

thread: Talk

Playing an official release from Europe (or anywhere in the world) is never a problem-- if there are any discrepancies in the gameplay between regions, and it's discovered, the regions should be non-obsoleting segments.. either two categories will get made, or the leader-board will auto-sort regions in a filterable board).

That happens when your native resolution and the resolution of the game is in conflict. Setting the resolution on windows fixes the resolution of WSplit to the same thing, and then if a game goes full screen and alters the resolution to make it fit on one of your monitors, then LiveSplit will be all wonky during the time the game with the different resolution is up.

I don't have two monitors though, so I figured having that would fix it, but I wouldn't know about that yet.
