Specifically, in America?

I have two rare DSi-only demos, the DSi XL Demo Video 1 and 2 cartridges, and would really love to record the videos that loop when you start the game.

I'll mail the cards to someone, I just need someone who has a USA 3DS with the capture card installed who would be able to record the footage and upload it for me.
 
Why those capture cards are so expensive?
I want one, but not for that price on 3DScapture.com
You even have to send in your 3DS which I never gonna do anyways.

Does a cheaper one even exist and will it ever happen? Also on Europe 3DS?
 
You pick the option where you have to send yours in. It will still cost you 280 or 290 to get it done.

Your other option is Katsukity's capture card, which you would have either send it in or buy pre installed for 562.97 (EU 3DS XL version) or 522.50 (EU 3DS version).

That makes loopy and Katsukity the only game in town for a video capture card for a 3DS anywhere in the world.
 
Loopy's is probably send-in only because it's a complicated install and he doesn't want to take responsibility for people fucking up their 3DSes with shoddy installs :)

You could dump the roms urself and record it via an emulator on PC.
There are 2 ways of dumping a game.
With a Slot 2 Device or with Wifi(You need a flashcard for that, any card would work i think)
Here's the homebrew http://filetrip.net/nds-downloads/applications/download-nds-backup-tool-3in1-here-19d-f1598.html
And here's the tut http://gbatemp.net/threads/tutorial-nds-backup-tool-wifi.252623/
If you need any more information then google it.

they are dsi only demo so it has to be ether a dsi or 3ds
so no slot 2
 
Yeah, they won't work in emulators since they're DSi only. It just gives a screen saying "please play this in a DSi"

I know you can buy them but I'm not about to spend $300 on that, I'd rather just mail the carts to someone who can record them.
 
I am not trying to buy a capture card, I'm just asking if anyone here has one so they can record it for me if I mail them the cart.
 
I've got one.

Proof.

Some people that read this might want to look into getting one themselves if they find it something they want to get as well even if it is off topic.
 
Curious, what exactly is on the videos?

Basically advertising for the DSi I believe. I might make a quick cam-rip to show you guys until I can get a better transfer.

Where do you find those & do they give them out here in the US
eBay. But I warn you, they're quite expensive. They're given to stores by Nintendo, don't ask me how they ended up on eBay ;)

Fair enough, I just felt like everyone was telling me to go buy the capcard myself which isn't what I wanted.

purechaos, PM incoming :)
