There is a Composite cable for sale on the site as well, but it is not necessary.

Any system... that's what I need  ;D

I imagine that for recording handhelds I'd need to modify the systems somehow? The looking around that I've done has come up with people saying you should just emulate them and record with a screen recorder on your PC, but I'd rather avoid that if possible.

And is there any way to record Virtual Boy gameplay? My limited knowledge of how its display works (mirrors and a little motor?) makes me think that it would be difficult compared to other systems, technically speaking.

Well, for Game Boy, Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance, I would think you could run them through a Game Boy Player on your Game Cube and then record the Game Cube the same way you normally would.  DS and 3DS have capture cards available that need to be installed, but from what I've seen, the 3DS card is really expensive.  Game Gear would require the video out mod, but then you should be able to record it similar to anything with composite out.  Certain PSP models have the ability to run composite or component video out.  Supposedly, the Vita TV  with HDMI output will be for sale in the US in the near future which will include PSP as long as you don't mind using the digital versions.

the PSP 3000 models output to TV's via Component, so you could just hook it up directly

Virtual boy TV out has been done;

as has NGPC, by the same guy;

http://furrtek.free.fr/?a=superngpc

neither for sale yet, but we can dream...!
Thom Grayson:
Checked, and my PSP is a 3000 model - awesome :D

That VB mod looks pretty cool - if I could buy it, I would. Now if only I had a Virtual Boy to go with the games I have for it :\
TDIRunner:
For the record, the PSP 2000 has the video output as well.  I still need to get me a cable. ;)
