HD PVR Test - Super Mario World

Recently got a SNES and i've been buying carts like crazy! Decided to see how my HD PVR handled a bit of Super Mario World.. looks pretty good if you ask me (I know it would probably look better from an emulator.. but I prefer to the play the games on the system it was intended for!). Expect more SNES gameplay in the future (especially once my Super Metroid cart gets here :D)

This is bizzare that you got it to work with the HD PVR. Unless the new drivers in the past year changed something, it's supposed to be impossible to get a steady recording of any classic game consoles. This is primarily because they don't output in 480i, they output in various different video signals and I believe it depends on the game.

This is why people have problems, you appear to be a bizzare exception.

@Cubemario Even stranger I guess is i've recorded with the newest drivers AND the 1.5.7.0 drivers (had to roll back to fix a problem with my Wii recordings freezing Sony Vegas) and i've had zero problems with either driver versions. I guess I just got lucky with my HDPVR box? I have no idea.

Just to say.. I really don't know why you guys have problems setting it up. I honestly haven't done anything special with my setup for this. All I did was hook up my SNES via the composite ports in the front and it worked straight away. Hopefully you guys can find a solution for your problems with recording the SNES! Sorry I can't be of more help.

Im curious too. I hooked up my nes and it recorded sluggish and looked awful

@OneUpMushroom Weird.. I didn't do anything special, just hooked it up and it worked fine. I record in M2TS on constant bitrate @ 13mbps too so, nothing special there. Hope you can get it working ok, good luck!

hey guy, for your HD PVR, did you use Hauppauge? if you did, how did you get it to function for SNES without it slowing to a stop

[maelstromALPHA]

@SharpShooter78 I do use a Hauppauge HD PVR.. to be honest, I don't know what i've done differently to you guys. I just hooked up the SNES via SCART... and it worked fine. Perhaps you need to get the latest drivers from the Hauppauge website? Sorry I can't be of more help, good luck!

woahh!!.. how did you hook the pvr up to ur snes.. i got both..please help :)

I have 3 different SNES, 2 NES, and none of them work. I've tried it on two different computers and it wont work... Dreamcast works just fine. I have the latest drivers; they didn't work, so I installed the beta drivers, and those didn't work. I give up.
