Question to anyone who makes Let's Plays.
« on: December 07, 2010, 10:53:34 pm »
Just a question, esspecially for people who use videos over pictures. How would I go about makeing one of a game I have on a console rather than PC? I'm not sure how I could go about recording my voice or the video without it being PC, but the only games I have worth Let's Playing I only have on console. So would anyone mind giveing me some advice?

Route the signal through your computer? That requires special hardware though, and it might not even work - last time I routed my tv through my computer, I couldn't record or take pictures of the TV part without special software.

Terrible idea. Never use a camera to record video off a monitor unless absolutely necessary, because the quality is awful and it's just a pain to look at.

I'm honestly not sure what you'd use, short of something that can record directly from a TV, which you probably don't have or else you'd be using it.

A video capture card would work.

If it's an older console, you could try to find a ROM and emulator...

Most LPers use the Dazzle or the Gamebridge.

Easycaps are much cheaper, but they also suck.

You don't use freedom Penguin. First you demand it, then you have it.
No using. That's not what freedom is for.

I recommend using any emulator and ROM.

I think that is generally how it's done.
