3DS/DS Capture Card in 2021!!! DO YOU NEED IT!? 

Yeah exactly what I thought too😂 I’m not alone haha I wanted to start streaming my shiny hunt journey… rip

Lol

I mean there are diy kits, mainly optimize but you have to get them shipped from Japan and I don’t know if you have to have a Japanese 3ds for it or not

@@Kirb-ey8dp If you mean KatsuKity capture card the company folded some time ago. Not to mention drivers and client are outdated. Again I'd like to see some form DIY or open source.

@@Ohem1 not katsukitty, he’s talking about optimize 3ds capture card. It’s a diy kit that you can order from Japan, it’ll take about 2-3 months to arrive. I’m not skilled at soldering so I haven’t bought one yet. I’m going to get one soon and practice my soldering skills some more during the shipping wait.

@@Kirb-ey8dp You can use a 3DS from any region. Japanese 3DSs are cheaper than North America 3DSs

Thanks for the comment, glad to hear you found it informative. I also agree, citra is the way to go for most situations!

Watch out for the ninjas!

Where are you going to get your ROMs? I'm also using citra buts it's impossible to find safe websites to download games

@@5cott214 use wowroms for regular ds games

Disagree not the authentic feel

Thanks, I appreciate it!

Was literally the only video I found on the subject that was logical and actually answered the questions I wanted to know ahahah.

Yep I have a video covering that and the posts that he’s put on his forums.

Which emulator do you recommend?

@@plmason12 Citra is your best bet.

@@chibi4dmin I managed to get one of the Loopy N3DS XL capture cards in the first round. Pretty exciting.

How is the 2ds capture card?

Sure I could do that

It's been sold a few times earlier this year and late 2022, all of which sold out very quickly. Hoping I can snag my hand on one to build myself tomorrow.

Yeah I could do an updated video. I had gotten my new 3DS xl modded by loopy earlier around Jan/Feb just didn’t make a full video on it. As not much had changed other than the usb c I didn’t really know if I would make a video but I guess it has been almost 2 years.

@@chibi4dmin you can, since now there's a new era of capture cards being made and this is the most affordable option rn.

@@chibi4dmin good news, just bought it this morning.

Awesome!

Not really sure if there would be a difference. It might just be a screen size difference. The smaller you make the screen when using 3DS capture the better it will probably look. Since the 3DS has a bigger screen the original image stretches more than what it was meant to.

The mod is designed to capture the 3DS screens in the software so anything your doing on it will be able stream, 3DS and DS games and whatever else you would see on the screens.

As of right now the only capture card made for 3DS XL is the optimize one

From what it sounds like that’s still emulator? Some people including me want to play our physical games. While Citra or other emulation are good alternatives it’s not for everyone.

It could be a cord issue but also may be a usb hub issue on your computer. If to many usb devices are on the same hub like in the back of a desktop or the front of the desktop this may cause interference with the capture card. I’ve had this happen before so I usually have my katsukity capture card in my front panel usb connector and any other usb devices in the back. Though if it is the 3DS itself a work around is just to use the aux to input sound directly into the computer and capture that.

@@chibi4dmin Thanks. In my case, it might just be a cord issue, since the capture card is the only thing I usually have plugged into my MacBook

Not exactly sure what your asking, the emulator doesn't use a physical ds. The emulator you can use for ds one of them is DeSmuME if you google it you should be able to find out how to set everything up. If your thinking of using a capture card you would need to send your ds into loopy to get modified if you had the old phat ds which is the one far right of the thumbnail or the new 3ds xl assuming he still has orders open for that right now. Then that would attach via usb to your computer and use his software from his site to view it on your computer if your looking for a bigger screen experience that way.

Check his forum. I don’t know if he said anything about it.

Yep, legally speaking any game that you have physically you can have a rom and play it on an emulator.

@@chibi4dmin that makes it so much easier because I always get confused to these kinds of topics, thanks!

Well if you buying digitally in 3DS eshop or physical, you are ok, just the problem with citra with a cheat code for disable the game specifically for the 3D, for gain many performance for the game.

Yeah I’m glad it’s easier now.

Interesting, yeah the optimize capture card I believe it’s called is still sold from Japan I think. While the process is long you’ll save a lot money if you do it yourself but the amount of people who would go though all the work of doing this rather than just finding an old loopy card on eBay is probably small. Very cool video none the less.

@@chibi4dmin something like that. It's just disassembling a 3ds and soldering so many tiny points are not for the faint of heart.

Think I'll just save up for the 3ds capture card.

Yeah it does suck I wish someone would come out with an inexpensive solution.

No $300 isn’t that bad. Though usually these can go from $500 to $1000 on eBay there not always $300 it’s only if you get lucky or if someone like loopy is doing installs at the time your looking.

yeah is sad that there discontinued in 2020 i want a new nintendo 3ds xl and i want it so i stream with it

The one that loopy just released is only for the New 3DS XL. He did mention that he would start working next on whichever 3DS was more popular choice but I don’t think that will be the original 3DS

@@chibi4dmin okay, thank you very much for the information. I'm trying to record my old Pokemon games.

The optimize cards can be found here optimize.ath.cx/shop_oversea/shop_oversea.html they are I believe from china or Japan so it may take a while for it to be delivered. The loopy DS one can be found here 3dscapture.com/ds/order.html

Uh what?

@@chibi4dmin u kinda sound like this guy www.youtube.com/@grayfruit

@@barneyjarneyson6409 Hmm I don't hear it

I don’t think so at the moment.

@@chibi4dmin damn, I wish I could get my hands on a 3ds... So expensive..

There has been some made for original 2ds and new 2ds xl but both are optimize cards. Loopy has not made any for either.

Nah I'm good
