    Hardware Hacking Creating a capture card PCB from scratch: open questions

    That's the one! I love researching DIY projects like this, but one of the most difficult parts is not knowing what you're searching for! If you don't know the concepts or terminology, you have to reach around blindly until you happen upon what you're looking for. I'm glad I've been given great...

    Hardware Hacking Creating a capture card PCB from scratch: open questions

    An update! I talked to some nice folks over at eevblog (an electronics forum). I may end up trying for a bit less ambitious project first, but I think I have most of the general info needed to start. Long story short, I might be able to use the Cypress CYUSB3017 chip to take in the video data...

    Hardware Hacking Creating a capture card PCB from scratch: open questions

    My apologies, that list of test points wasn't for the DS. It's for the old 3DS mainboard, and includes whatever new test points the New 3DS has, as well. I've also posted a thread to an electronics forum, with basically everyone telling me that I should start smaller :( though it seems like...

    Hardware Hacking Creating a capture card PCB from scratch: open questions

    I'm assuming both audio outputs are the same, since cards only grab the 32khz audio? I happened to find a list of test points for the DS over at nesdev, is this what you're referring to with the upper screen video? TP159 Upper Screen Video Data bit? (200mV) (P6.pin12) TP160 Upper Screen...

    Hardware [DISCUSSION] A better way to capture high quality 3DS video footage

    Sorry to ping a decaying thread, but did anyone ever take a closer look at using an FPGA on a self-made capture card? Or maybe using some PISO shift registers? I'm also very interested in how one would make a capture card from their own PCB instead of relying on Optimize boards.

    Hardware Hacking Creating a capture card PCB from scratch: open questions

    Was looking into grabbing a capture card for my New 3DS XL, and I started wondering why there weren't more instructions on how to build capture cards. People create custom PCBs for all sorts of things! So I was was a bit surprised that Loopy and Optimize are the only players in town. So I...
