For the first one it's usually decided by the community, so try and find someone who runs the game and see when they start/end their timer. If you cant then its generally accepted that it's when you gain/lose control of the character.


As for the second one, Lots of people use the Dazzle DVC 100 with S-video and it records/streams SD games very well.

Hope I've been at least somewhat helpful.

You so will. I just bought 2 (one for my SNES, and one for my N64) from amazon. The color separation is the best thing about the cables. On HD-TV's, the image looks especially blurred and muddy, which is partially due to the upscaling, but partially due to the N64's natively poor composite video.

The S-Video cable separates the colors much much better, increasing the clarity, and gives the TV's upscaler a better source to start with, so the quality increase in the end result is very very noticeable. It is completely worth the few dollars.

I bought this exact one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000P6R46W/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp_sr_1?pf_rd_p=1535523722&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B00005RH4D&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=1XRB2KY469X465938YGS

There is a lot of chatter in the reviews about people not receiving the image pictured, and that theirs came with composite and s-video, and thus are lower quality.

I bit the bullet, and received exactly what was pictured, and the quality of the cables themselves is good. The quality of the video signal is crazy-good.

Doom 64, in particular, looks just fabulous now, and I know I'm raving now, but I just can't suggest that you do this enough.

DO IT!!

What is the serial number on your SNES? Older snes have issues with color bleed and blurry-er picture compared to newer models. It also looks like the saturation(color) on your tv is a bit high.

2009 also seems very late in the game for a crt, so I'm wondering if theres some weird scaling or something going on causing additional noise or video issues. Also try other composite ports on the tv, 1 crt I had had visual noise on the front rca jacks but not on the back.

Mostly though composite will look pretty bad, you just don't have much to work with, basically rf with less interference. Without getting pretty involved with soldering or lots of additional equipment to output a better picture, I'd suggest some s-video cables(provided your tv supports it).

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000P6R46W?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00 << of all the svid cables i bought, these seem to have the least noise(for cheapos, to be sure get oem nintendo svid cables). Whatever cables you go with, just don't get the composite/svideo cables, those pretty much always look bad.

For Gamecube this cable worked well for me. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000P6R46W/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It had a good tight connection to the console. The cable was thicker than the other 3rd party ones I have used.

On the N64, this cable still causes checkerboarding. But again, looks and works great on the Gamecube.

I am waiting on a cable from the Sweden eBay seller, who hand makes them. I really hope it solves the N64 checkerboarding.

The best is going to be the official cable, but it's pricy. This is the cable I use; the main thing to look for is a cable with no composite video plug. When I was searching I found there was usually less of a markup on cables marketed for Gamecube vs. cables marketed for SNES or N64 -- I blame the nostalgia tax.

Apparently s-video is the best way to go without modding your N64

make sure you have the round s-video hookup though before ordering.
