How to record the audio ?

Hey, I'm about to send my old ds to merki.net so they'll install a capture card for me. The thing is, I really don't have an idea of how to record the audio. I want to record the audio from the DS itself, and at the same time my headset (I'll be live-commentating).

So my question is, what do I need in order to record the DS audio together with my commentary ?
I'm using a laptop which has a headphone jack and microphone jack (obviously). I've read about "line in port", I don't really know what it is but I'm pretty sure my laptop doesn't have it ?

Big thanks for answers !

I suggest having a splitter if you only have one microphone jack and your microphone isn't a USB microphone.

If you do have a USB microphone, the 3DS Capture program should record your audio coming in from the microphone jack (which can be set IIRC) and use another program like Audacity to record from your USB microphone.
