oh... does he install them? or what? I'm confused why it's even being mentioned...
No, he doesn't install them. Katsukity lives in Japan, Loopy in the USA. Why shouldn't we mention it? They're not really opponents.
I thought they were. Don't they have competing prices for the 3DS capture card? Sure, Katsukity's can do more (3D recording and USB audio), but 3D recording is definitely not needed yet, and USB audio can be done through line in, overall making Loopy's the better deal.
Of course, I think Loopy and Katsukity worked on building the capture board, unless it was all Loopy's work first.
No, I designed the board myself. Katsukity was selling my boards for a short time, then later he started selling his own version.
It's complicated. Don't think he just stole my idea, I'm pretty sure his was developed in parallel with mine. Before this board, he was selling a modified DS capture board that recorded just the bottom 3DS screen. We are on good terms, it's not like he's my enemy or something. I still chat with him once in a while. I was somewhat peeved when he registered <other site> right after I got mine (3dscapture.com), it makes things confusing. I sell him the DS capture boards that he sells on his site. I get the cases for my boards from him (that may change soon though, I'm getting them redesigned). I gave him some help on audio capture for his board. Also, our operations are a bit different. I'm a one man band; hardware+software design, installations, sales and support, it's all me. As I understand it, Katsukity is mainly a reseller. Someone else designed his hardware, another person did the software and FPGA programming, he just runs his shop and sells things.
But back to the point, yes, they are competing products. I tolerate it, but every time you link back to his shop from here, it's not doing me any favors.
