I want to put a playthrough of Pokemon Soul Silver on YouTube, but I don't know how I should go about recording footage on my DSi without a camera. I want something like the PSP's RemoteJoyLite (It uses the PC as a PSP monitor), although the monitor aspect is more of a bonus.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Only way currently is to play it on an emulator and record the emulator footage or acquire one of the video capturing devices that places like IGN use (which would be really hard).

Something like remotejoylite probably would be possible because:
1. There's no port for being able to connect the DSi directly to the computer (unlike the PSP)
2. We have not unlocked dsi mode yet so we cannot make homebrew that uses DSi's full potential
3. Even if you recorded it with software on the DSi 12 mb's is not enough to record gameplay footage (4 mb would be used for the actual game).

It doesn't work that way. Once the DS game booted, you'd be in DS mode, with no access to any of the DSi-specific features. It's the same reason why we can't record GBA footage on the DS.

There is also an official device of Nintendo to do that
Its the "IS Nitro Capture" Device, i saw it once at a discontinued German Gaming TV Station called GIGA
IS is Intelligent Systems
Nitro is the Codename of the DS

Hmmm... I wonder how much money one of those devices could fetch on the black market.

Darn it. Thanks for the help guys.

So just to clarify, we would need DSi mode to do this?

Well in theory but still like I said 12 megabytes is no where near enough ram to be able to record something.

Its more of a matter of CPU speed when it comes to encoding videos i.e. recording and such.

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
