What are the best open-source software for recording games running on Ryujinx?

OBS doesn’t seem to be the best option for this task. Are there any other choices?

i’m sorry i can’t help, i’m just curious why OBS doesn’t seem to be the best option here?

I think maybe there will be performance lost? OBS is not designed for such task.

Also, adding Window Capture of Ryujinx result in black screen (recording nothing). I have to use Display Capture instead. Which is not convenient.

OBS works fine for me recording in Yuzu. Maybe it's just Ryujinx. Or your settings for either Ryujinx or OBS.

Does Window Capture work? (not Display Capture)

Are you saying OBS is not designed for recording games?

it is not designed to record emulator games

What does it mean to be designed to record emulator games?

[-] tug7503@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 days ago

get video streams straight out emulators instead of screen capture

And how might that be accomplished? It's not like emulators expose some common API that allows programs to record its output.

This is the reason I'm making this post
