These IS-NITRO-CAPTURE are neat little video output devices for displaying DS games on dual monitors or combining screens on one monitor. The DIP switch settings control the display configuration (from PixelButts on an old AG post, the following settings are known):

“From the IS Nitro Capture Users Manual (Version 01/27/2005)

Dip Switches
  1. Not used set to OFF
  2. Not used set to OFF
  3. Not used set to OFF
  4. When restoring the IS-Nitro FW, set this to ON. If you are not restoring the firmware, set this to OFF.
  5. Toggles between wired and wireless DS Wireless Communication. It is set to OFF for wired communication and ON for wireless communication. This switch can be used when you have purchased the wireless option.
  6. Usedto set the color of the outside of the LCD Screen, on images output by the AV Cable. Set to OFF for black and ON for gray.
  7. When set to ON, the DS Upper Screen and Lower Screen are output as a single image from AVOUT1. When set to OFF, the upper screen is output from AVOUT1
  8. When set to ON, the DS Upper Screen and Lower Screen are output as a single image from AVOUT2. When set to OFF, the upper screen is output from AVOUT2

Is there software? I thought there were just 2 AV outs and then you can just use whatever capture device.

Yes the capture is just a video output device. You can also get the debugger version with capture options though

Now if you want to talk about rare...
Most I've seen online don't have that option.

Software is out there for the IS-Nitro-Capture, lets you capture screenshots and movies (no sound, drops frames) over USB. Also lets you change settings.

I have an IS-Nitro-Emulator with video out. You can also run a hack to enable it.

Very interesting. I had not heard of this, and now I am curious.

I always wondered about that - when I took apart my IS-NITRO-EMULATOR, I noticed that the board with the video connectors was fully populated with a couple of Gamecube video DACs and a FPGA and thought it was strange that it didn't work.

See this thread:

My understanding is some of the DACs are more N64, while later ones are GameCube based? I think I read that anyway. Would impact modding for HDMI/RGB.

Actually, now you say that, "MAV-NUS" suddenly pops into my head, which does suggest it's using a N64 video chip. Sorry, it was a while ago when I looked at it...

For me the biggest issue is not the video cature, more that the Partner only have the option to use a classic controller. I hate using the IS units with the shitty ds unit..

The IS Snake devkit (New 3DS) does support the debug classic controller. Not sure about the older CTR or SPR one though.
