Hardware Where can I get a capture card?

Since this thread was bumped, might as well give a proper answer about the speed. N3DS can only reach 1.4MB/s download speed under optimal conditions while upload is 0.55MB/s, meaning OP's speeds are actually above what's needed for 60FPS with HzMod or similar. Only issue past that may be how well optimized the setup is and also note that you aren't supposed to use 100% quality, but instead ~75% (hardly any difference) since that allows you to stream stable 60FPS while 100% is more for games that run at 30FPS natively (games when you have 3D on for example or pretty much most games, while some run at 30FPS but temporarily jump up to 60FPS at certain points like when navigating menus in Pokemon but when in overworld/battling it's 30FPS).

Oh sweet. Thanks. I didn't know that. lol

Then your best bet is getting a better internet connection A N3DS with capture card now that they don't make those anymore is gonna cost you 700+$ while it's pretty much impossible to find a capture card by itself and only other choice is requesting a special unit pre-installed with a capture card from Nintendo Japan (since they have some meant for news outlets and whatnot). Also, based on your speed, unless you are also doing other stuff, you got more than enough bandwidth for at least 40FPS, possibly 57-60FPS if you get a better connection.

you wont get that good of framerate with that trust me I have 24mbps down and 2 mbps up and I only get around 15-20 fps

Yeah... so I want to get a N3dsXL and install a capture card myself.... but where do I get one? Looks like the main site is dead now so... help?

You would need to find a second hand one somewhere like on eBay

They are getting expensive tho since they are getting harder and harder to find.

Mine just sold for almost $700..

Again, that is completely false. Screen streaming can be done on a home router with NO internet. If your internet is too slow to stream to Twitch, a capture card will not change anything.
