Because I have a PSP-2000 using RemoteJoyLite is my only option for capture, but at least this is similar to the DS capture device only less "hacky".

Using RJL v0.19a by neur0n, all default options.

I guess Opera can't upload very big files so didn't include the IQ vid. Sad

EDIT: Seems like I'll have to record with the volume up just a tad higher.

it seems like this game is only f2. so you can record and/or encode at 30 fps. otherwise looks good.

Even though FRAPS is reporting 60FPS through RJL the game is 30FPS anyways? O_o The size is fine too right? It's only ever going to be the native PSP screen size of 480x272,

Last time I tried RemoteJoyLite it was limited to 12-30fps (depending on the compression). So even if the game itself was 60fps you would only get 30fps on your computer.

---Perhaps FRAPS isn't accurate for seeing how much FPS the PSP is putting out. I just did a test, default "Transfer FPS" option is "------" which I'm assuming means whatever the PSP can squeeze out (FPS ≤ 60) , it doesn't cause Ys Seven to lag but it causes some of my other games to have a frame rate drop. I set it to 30 FPS and the lag is gone, but FRAPS still reports 60, so not even sure how I can accurately test FPS, guess I'll just leave it set to 30 FPS.---

Disregard what I just typed, as RJL has no documentation that I can find. I searched a bit and found a guide for it with some hotkey descriptions and F1 will turn on internal FPS display. "------" is indeed unlimited and the PSP seems capable of 60 maximum. Also experimenting around with "Transfer type" it would seem that TYPE 1 is Progressive and TYPE 2 is Interlaced. Virtually no difference between TYPE 1 and TYPE 0. TYPE 3 reduces image quality, looks like garbage no reason to ever use it and TEST MODE freezes the image (I have no idea why that happens or what it is for).

I don't mess with Transfer sys address at all and leave Thread priority at 16. Ys Seven is 30 FPS, so looks like I doubled my file size for nothing, but if I enable the option called Vblank Forced Transfer then the FPS for Ys Seven jumps up to 60. Doesn't seem like a true 60 though so I'll just leave Transfer FPS set to 30 for all my games.
