I only tried Shadowplay with Android Assault Cactus, so far. It didn't impact my frame-rate at all (Phenom X6 1055T, 16GB, GTX-660), but the resultant video had big hideous black macroblocking quite often, and it captured the Steam Overlay, too. Then again, it's currently beta.

The top one seems a little darker in places (the gradient on the wall behind the woman, for instance), but quality-wise they look the same to me.

Edit: Before I forget, with the new Miiverse update allowing 3DS users to take screenshots of games that allow it, would that be a decent way of doing an SSLP?

I don't think so. For every screenshot you'd have to hit Home, load Miiverse (which takes a while) and post the screenshot (which I think everyone could see). Then you'd have to get on your PC and get the shots. It's possible! But I don't think it'd be any fun.

Except for some rare games like Animal Crossing, this is the only way to take screenshots. You can't actually save the framebuffer to SD or anything, just post it to Miiverse. It's kinda dumb, yes.

Style Savvy has screenshot saving too, but only the top screen and not all the time like AC. From memory I think those are the only two with screenshot saving built-in? It's still dumb. Maybe they'll add in browser uploading like the Wii U, but that'd still take an eon.

Using the component cable through a HD-PVR2 recorded in Hauppauge Capture, 720x480 59.94fps TS (that's including all that black space around)

:psyduck:
All that black space is produced by the PSP output so it fits 720x480, no scaling. The image inside all that darkness is not the right ratio, the colours are weird and let's just all agree RJL capture has this down.

If you can get RJL working, use RJL, otherwise you will have to do unholy things with video editing to make it look good. You could also get PSVita capture (be it that 3rd party device or the Vita TV when that becomes a thing) and play PSP games off that upscaled.

There's a plugin that fixes the blackspace, called FuSA, but it works sporadically with games, doesn't work on any firmware above 6.3x and really if you have the ability to run it you should likely be using RJL anyway.

When it stops deciding all my game capture windows should be widescreen, regardless of what's actually inside the box, then I'll think about it.

In an unrelated topic, does anyone have a good idea on how to do some audio wizardry? The VAC guide doesn't seem to be much help and I can barely follow it anyway. What I'm trying to do is stream a game so that Skype audio doesn't end up on the stream, just the game. We'll be recording our microphone audio through audacity and mixing the end result later so all that remains is to get some unmolested game audio in the unlikely event that something actually worth hearing comes up during the LP and prevent echoes.

Basically, for each VAC line, it adds a Audio Out device and an Audio In device. These are linked. So, setup a cable, set your game to output to the VAC device. Set OBS or Xsplit or whatever to capture from this device. Then, to get it mixed into your normal audio device, run Audio Repeated (MME), set Wave In to the VAC line and Wave Out to your speakers/headphones.

This.. might actually not be the ideal way, but it's what works for me.

Oddly enough, this is not, or at least doesn't seem to be an option for the game in question. I'd have to change the default audio device to the cable and that may lead to needing more cables, and I think that's where my problem is starting. There has to be something I'm missing here because I regularly see streams where people are actually having trouble getting Skype into their stream to begin with.

In that case set the default audio out device in Windows to the VAC cable and have Skype set to output to your normal device.

Look, let's work this out. My profile is set to put out a 1280x720 recording. Let's use Doom. I've got Doom set to run at 800x600, which is a 4:3 aspect.



Set it up for Window Capture..



Oh, look at that. It looks fine! But it doesn't take up much space. Hit CTRL+F in Edit Scene mode.





Wow, that was hard! Now if you don't want black bars, fill them in with image sources/chats/whatever or set the stream size to a 4:3 resolution.

You can also poke around Microsoft's site for their own virtual machine software and give that a try.

To be honest, I think Teamviwer is going to give you worse video than Android 4.4's built-in screen recording. Teamviewer isn't good enough for that sort of thing on two PCs, nevermind a phone.

Monitor capture will almost always run like butt. You can try disabling Aero/desktop composition to see if that helps.

Some games/programs won't capture unless you set them to Game Capture and then hit the hotkey once you start recording/streaming, so if you haven't tried that I'd give it a whirl.

Yeah, might just be the oldness.. you could try forcing it into a window with something like D3Dwindower, at least then you could see OBS when you muck with it.. Xsplit is certainly worth trying, though.

Also your footage didn't look too bad, in the end, certainly watchable if it came down to it. At least by my eyes, obviously you need something you're happy with :v:

I've got kind of a weirdly specific question: Does anyone know how to force XCOM to use a different audio device? I want to force it to use one of my Virtual Audio Cables.

With most programs, I can just switch the default audio to a VAC line, start the game so that its using that line, then alt-tab out to reset the default audio back to normal. Most games will stay on the VAC line when I do that, but XCOM just happily switches back to my speakers.

There's no in-game option to change audio devices, but I'm hoping there's some .ini setting or something I can change.

There's a program on this page that can force DirectSound onto a specific device, but if the game uses OpenAL I don't think that'll work.

You're port forwarding, right? Fusion doesn't do UPNP so you need to manually forward UDP 5394. Make sure you're using each others external IPs, obviously, too.

Also Fusion's netplay isn't very good and the emulator hasn't been updated in forever. You may have better luck with RetroArch, which does things like GGPO where it constantly saves states and rolls them back when desync happens.

FinalGamer posted:

Well okay this IS a Genesis game so long as we can play this Genesis game then fine. Firstly, what is port forwarding and how do we manually forward it?

Also, RetroArch eh? We might look into that.

Port forwarding is a setting in your router. Basically you set up a rule that says "when traffic comes in from the internet on port ####, send it straight to this IP". So you'll probably want to set your PC to a static IP, otherwise you'll have to go change the rull whenever DHCP rolls around and gives you a new one. portforward.com has some good guides.

Only the host needs to do this, by the way. The client just has to connect to their external IP (i.e., not 10.x.x.x or 192.168.x.x, check whatismyip.com to get it).

Something about that one enemy's turn is for some reason bugging out and sending a dud instruction to the primary CPU in the Saturn. It might be an emulation issue that you didn't get before, or an obscure bug that happens on real hardware.

I'd give it a shot on Yabuse, but there is an issue with it being a Saturn game in that Saturn emulations are pretty scarce - especially ones that work. That hardware is an absolute cow.

Aside from skipping through the interlace options with F5 while the game's running to see if there's a difference? Probably not. There's a homebrew program that could attempt to force progressive scan, which might work on the game. You'd have to boot the ELF for the program, then hope that PCSX2 will let it switch to the DVD-ROM. It should. If not you might be able to get an ISO version of the program, or make one yourself, and "swap disc" as it were.

I'd see how emulating goes, because trying to fix analgoue capture cards is a loving bitch and a half. A recentish (November?) Windows Update made my DTV-1000T nigh useless. MCE doesn't find channels, neither does the stock software see the card at all and the only way I can get a AV signal on it is through OBS, except it stutters like mad unless I add a 1s buffer, which fucks with audio and controls and..uh..yeah. No harm in checking PCSX2 :v:

I swear it used to work fine, but now when I run it after about four images it hits Maximum setlocal recursion level reached errors and ends up writing the buildtext variable to the file instead of the OCR results.
