Huzzah! Turns out the reason I couldn't record PS1 games in colour was because I'm stupid. All it took was manually changing the type of colour encoding in VirtualDub and they capture just fine. This opens up many possibilities for future superplays.
Just to test it out I played through and captured PS1's Gaia Seed, since I noticed there's no video footage of the game online at all. So I thought I'd fix that. But instead of hosting it here I've uploaded the whole playthrough to my YouTube channel so it can be viewed online easier. I did this because the game has limited superplay appeal, since it's a very, very easy game. I cranked the difficulty up to Hard and I still no-missed it without problems. I'll still be hosting proper MP4-videos of the superplays I think are more interesting.
But while playing Gaia Seed I tried some stuff out and I discovered there are several endings. Two I've seen with my own eyes, and since both seem like bad endings I'm guessing there's at least one more. And the boss that you have to fight to get the second ending is pretty hard, actually. If and when I get the good ending I might post that here. We'll see how that goes.
Also, one last thing to mention: about a month ago I took part in this small, local gaming all-night party. Much fun was had, lots of gaming happened and there were quite a few tournaments held. I took part in all of them and actually won three: Twinkle Star Sprites: La Petite Princess, SingStar Pong (insanely fun, I tell you) and Arcana Heart. The latter I'm guessing was because nobody had ever actually played the game before. The tournaments weren't that big, they had only 16 participants each (Arcana Heart might've had less), but I'm really proud of this little achievement nonetheless.
