New micro USB cord?

[InsaneVampaneze]

I have bought a new 15 ft micro USB cord to make things easier for me me but I'm just wondering if any cord can be used with the capture board or does it have to be a certain one?

Any micro USB cord will work, just as long as it really is micro and not mini.

I don't even think I unwrapped the one loopy sent me.

Yeah, it's a standard micro USB cable. I haven't tried it with a 15 ft. cable though, there might be issues with one that long.

Make sure to use your back USB port.
Meaning the USB ports from your motherboard directly.

I have had issues with longer cables when using front USB.

Since we're on the topic of the micro USB cord, I have a question. Here's like a 24 second video of gameplay I recorded:

Now, in like the last 6 seconds, I believe, this weird distortion with noise and video happens and it's been happening a lot more often now every time I record (EDIT: Forgot to mention, ever since it became often, it happens a lot more frequently and last longer than usual). Is it possible that the micro USB cord is causing this? I ordered another one online in order to test out if the current one that came with the 3DS back is the problem. Couldn't find anyone with a similar problem, so here I am.

Ok, so I got a new cord to test it out and the problem still remains. So I'm guessing it could be the actual board itself? Strange because I didn't drop it or damage it or anything.

I dunno, has this ever happened before?

I don't think this is the cable. It looks more like a performance issue, lost data from system lag. Try closing other programs running in the background if there are any. Does the display also stutter when the sound cuts out? You can try opening the debug window and see if anything unusual is happening.

Yeah, the display also stutters as well when it happens. But I'll definitely try out the debug window. Thanks!
