In case anyone missed it I've cleaned up and put the new ssf.txt file on my website in the format:

romname,startframe,endframe

there are no endframes yet (obviously) as this was only used to identify end-of-bios points.

Its worth checking these points, and it is an old file so there is a (slim) chance that some of the romnames may have changed slightly...

Cleaned up file: http://www.silverfoxy.plus.com/ssf-csv.txt

Original file: http://www.silverfoxy.plus.com/ssf.txt

I'll happily host updates as people work through the games.
Buddabing:
For anyone looking to find start and end frames, I have a tool I find extremely useful.

It's called I-fun viewer from Xequte Software:

Here's a link to download

It shows a scrolling list of thumbnails of the png snapshots, with the currently selected snapshot shown larger. It can scroll through hundreds of images very quickly.

I highly recommend it, and the price is right.

Also, it may be worth establishing some guidelines about where to start stop attracts - eg some games have a several minute loop - should you take it all or just a shorter attract? etc..etc...

I suggest you save your work in a simple csv txt file with something like:

romname,startframe,endframe
romname,startframe,endframe.....

to make it nice and easy to use/merge later on.

I see you all are still hard at work. Great work all of you. Since these are attract mode movies, I vote for the whole thing.   Seems much more official that way.  This would mean several loops for some games.

I'm in..... ;D

People can always change the file to individual taste, but we can have an offical file for people to start with....

suggestions for listgen:

put the default makemovies.bat "script" in the filters.sql file as an example

do the syntax checking BEFORE loading all the data files (so errors bomb out faster)

question:

how would I reverse the sort order?  for example, sort by year in reverse?
