I am brand new to speedrunning, but I want to get a recording setup going. At the time of this post, I really only have a few PS1 games in mind that I want to try running. I want to get a component capture card, but I really can't justify to my wife the cost of a PCIe card.

So here's the question: Has anyone had success using the USB dongles? I know they don't record in HD, but I can't imagine PS1 games are going to look that great in HD. My goal at the moment is just get started, and share my progress. The two games I want to play are not even listed on the website. I really want to record a few runs and try to get these gems on the site.

Thank you in advance for any help!

I just acquired a PS1 copy of Darkstone, and I thought it would be a great game to speedrun. I was wondering if there was a way to add the game to the list. That way I could upload any attempts at a speedrun, and so community members could get together and trade tips. This game is also on Steam.

Edit: I realized I messed up on the title, but I don't know how to edit the title x.x

Hey everyone! I haven't officially started speedrunning anything yet but I look forward to make my first attempts! I am pretty new to the speedrunning community. I was first introduced to the art when I was in high school. when I first saw AGDQ16 this year I decided I want to hunker down and give it a serious try. I am 25, aspiring game developer, husband, and a father to a little boy. I really like what I see when I look at the forums here, and I feel at home. Looking forward to posting my first speed run video.
