Well, I have a special cable signal on my PS2 which is a normal AV Cable but it have a port for inserting another cable inside, so I plugged those RGB cables : http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-kXg8PxgF0-Y/T ... b_ends.jpg (RGB to RGB) and connected them to my PS2

Hmm... the link for the Rayman 2 PS1 version is a PAL version. Wouldn't the NTSC version be better, because of the higher framerate?

That cable isn't RGB. That's Component YPbPr. And Sorry to say but EzCap doesn't support neither RGB or Component. You probably just got Composite signal there :P

OK so I've been attempting to take screenshots from the Rabbids games on Wii via Dolphin 4.0.2, but it seems that nowadays they all just slow down to a crawl, like 5-9fps etc, what the hell?

Don't use Dolphin 4. Stick to Dolphin 3. Way more faster.

I don't have Skype, but I'm interested in what you have found.

It requires no setup.
Install Project64 emulator, download Rayman 2 N64 ROM, click File -Open and choose the ROM. That's all. The emulator doesn't require any modifications.

If I remember well that setup is not enough to make the game fully workable. There's the Alpha thing that needs to be enabled if the Lums show up "invisible".

Haruka, the Rayman 1 master, the R2 PS1 URL isn’t being recognized by phpBB:

I've shortened the link, the URL had the BBcode characters in it, causing it not to be recognized by phpBB. Please update your post.

Just because I'm really bored, I've corrected the grammar mistakes. :oops2:

*comes out of the dark to post a problem, then goes back to the shadows*
So I grabbed the Saturn emulator and everything for R1, started it up, worked perfectly fine.
Started it up today, bottom (but not top, which is really strange) part of the screen just totally stopped existing.

I've screwed around with a lot of options and none of them seem to have done anything particularly useful.
If anyone else would happen to know what's causing it that'd be fantastic.

From what I've seen, it seems to be based on which drive the game refers to, since I had this same problem yesterday, but messed around a bit and forced the game to refer to a different drive and it worked fine. Now, doing that doesn't work.

Oh, I have, did exactly what it said (multiple times, even) but it doesn't seem to work right.

Can someone else please try to see if it works for him? I need to know if there is some mistake I made or is it just to Razorbeard.

I've searched the thread for similar problems, but it doesn't really seem to come up at all.
I'm sure something as important as the screen being 10-20 pixels lower than it should be would be something worth mentioning.
I'll sit here fiddling around with the options, and if it does get back to normal and I can from there screw it up again I'll see if I can explain how it happened.

Edit: Fresh extraction seems to have corrected it, if it happens again I'll record what options I chose and put 'em here so people know to not do that.
