Alrighty righty I have yet another question to ask regarding the software we'd be using to view the capture: You (loopy) said that the program will be able to capture .avi, but will you have the option to choose which codecs you want to use for video/audio? That would be good since then we could just use a good lossless codec and record sda quality runs straight from the program which i think everyone here would be content with

Yes, you can select the codec. I suppose I can let you play with the software. It should run, even though it'll be useless without hardware. http://home.comcast.net/~olimar/DSCapture There's an install guide here too that you can check out. I'm still working on it but it's mostly finished.
In other news, I got a pile of boards in the mail today. Unfortunately, I have to track down another source for connectors. The ones I ordered from a Chinese parts supplier were useless inferior copies. U.S. sources don't keep em in stock, and the order time is 16 weeks out (hence turning to said Chinese supplier). Hrmph.

loopy's software results in an .avi file and allows you to use any of the codecs that you have installed on your pc. I'm currently testing one of the boards for him and using the lagarith lossless video codec which looks as you would it expect it to. however, as you know with anything lossless, the file sizes balloon up fairly quickly.

I'll try and post a few samples this evening if loopy doesn't mind.

very nice ! I have a few questions :
- when preorder will be available ?
- in the software, will it be possible to display DS in full screen (not just a window) ?
- does it works with a 3m usb cable ?

- If it looks like there's enough demand that a preorder is needed, I'll do preorders. I don't think that's a problem, yet...
- Not yet. That's something I still need to add (full screen on one or 2 monitors).
- 3m cable, I don't know. I don't have one to test. I can't imagine why one wouldn't work, though.

Oh yeah, the full screen is very handy.
Could you add it into the old Capture Device too?
If not, is the software for this one compatible with the old one?
I'm asking, because neither Visual C++ 2005, 2008, nor 2010 seems to be compatible with the used code.

The old device isn't compatible with this software. I can update it to support your device, it shouldn't be too much trouble. The old one was built with Visual C++ 6.0, btw.
Why wouldn't mediafire be a good one to upload to???
I guess you could use filedropper, filefront (I guess its gamefront now??), ormegaupload

I could have sworn that I read that SDA preferred not to use those sites (maybe I'm just going crazy 
the demo loop for spirit tracks is pretty varied as is the one for new super mario bros. I'll try and capture both with 3-5 different codecs and post them tonight.

I knew that I saw something somewhere here. it was about not using rapidshare or youtube

here are the captures:
for spirit tracks, I captured the demo loop in cinepak (100% video quality), microsoft video 1 (100% video quality) and lagarith lossless
you'll see that other than the lossless, there is way too much tearing, artifacting and other video inconsistancies
the new super mario bros. was captured in lagarith lossless
I did do some captures with full frame option, but the file size ballooned way too big, too fast to post (over 150MB for about 4 seconds worth of video/audio
)
legend of zelda: spirit tracks (144MB)

new super mario bros. (76MB)

I'll look at downloading a few more lossless codecs tonight and giving them a whirl.

I was able to get the huffyuv codec installed (using this link: http://www.digitalfaq.com/forum/video-conversion/2193-cannot-install-huffyuv.html), however it is returning an "error 6" when you try and capture in loopy's software after selecting that particular codec
