Title: EmuMovies M.A.M.E. Video Snaps .120 FINISHED!!!
Post by: Circo on April 02, 2008, 03:24:19 pm
Fourteen Months…

What can happen in just fourteen months?  Let me tell you…..

Let’s start with deciding to create the most complete, high quality, MAME video set.  Then let’s add a baby, company struggling then finally going completely under, job hunts, new job, and no time to spare.  Add to that the hosting for this site went crazy this last year and the site ended up being retooled and relaunched.  Now on the other end of that fourteen months I look back and do not understand why I even tried to make this set.  And still I sit back with a big grin and realize I just completed a Video Preview Set with 7 ,435 video clips.  EmuMovies just had it’s 3rd anniversary on March 19th and if I add up all of the videos I have made in those fist two years the total is 6,757.   Every single video in this set was played and then hand edited for content, to create the most accurate preview possible.  I am proud of this set, it is the highest quality video set that I have ever produced.  Everything that I have figured out in the last 3 years about what would make the best set has been applied.   Avg 30 sec files, actual gameplay with all the sounds and music, 3-5 sec of title sequence, cropping, artwork, and the files captured in such a way to make it perfect no matter the front end (HQ, SQ, Vertical, Horizontal).

To sum up the MAME Video Snaps are DONE, COMPLETED, IN THE BAG, WOOHOOOOO!!!!

I do need to say this, I have now actually played EACH and EVERY SINGLE MAME GAME….  Oh my god, there are ALOT of really crap games.  I would think to myself, “this ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- was actually in a thousand plus dollar arcade machine and people would play quarters to play?? WTF??!!??” ;)  Seriously though, everyone should try that just once, it will really sap your will :)

Seriously though, I hope everyone really enjoys this latest EmuMovies release, it has been my pleasure to produce it.  Expect updates to the latest mame version shortly and updates for new versions regularly.

Effective immediately this set will be included on all DVD orders and has been uploaded to the FTP Server.  The torrent will be made available May 1st 2008.  I have decided to wait on the torrent release to give all the folks who have supported this site over the past year a little something extra for their support.  I can’t say how much I thank the EmuMovies supporters out there.  It’s been alot of fun getting real hosting, and relaunching the new website this last year, and being able to open the FTP site with direct downloads has been a kick!

Excellent!!!love the work Circo....!

although you are crazy hehe... EVERY GAME!... I don't know how you did it..

especially all the consoles as well, your sets make a excellent addition to any supporting FE

I look forward to getting the new set via download or get myself some updated discs from yourself.

There seems to be some confusion about how to actually set up the MAME videos with different front ends.  This is an article that I wrote that explains the all the directories and how to implement the videos with your front end.  If any more detail's are needed I will work on something better.  As soon as I have a day off I will finish the info's and stuff on my site.

http://emumovies.com/wordpress/?p=79 (http://emumovies.com/wordpress/?p=79)

I am also uploading larger sample packs of all sets here:

http://emumovies.com/samplepacks (http://emumovies.com/samplepacks)

I will make it pretty later, this is more of a patch job ;)

i've always found your movies drop n go in fe's for mame ;)

the console ones have proven touch harder to setup ;) I've been going thru my console sets stripping out any foreign games and removing hacks/bad dumps leaving the newest [!] rom when possible, matching games to your video filename then stripping all [USA] [!] [JUE] and all that jazz off the end :) taken some hours and still some hours to go but i'm getting there and it looks good once complete :)

Post by: Circo on April 07, 2008, 01:10:51 pm
The nice thing about mame is that there is just one naming convention, vs consoles in which case there can be three or more.  Hopefully one of these days someone can help me out with some dat files, but for now.....  Although renaming is still a heck of a lot faster than making new vids :)
Title: Re: EmuMovies M.A.M.E. Video Snaps .120 FINISHED!!!
Post by: keirondrk on April 08, 2008, 04:58:00 am
;) yeop, I'm certainly not complaining... I have no idea how you managed to subject yourself to all of them games and a :dizzy: .. but I'm very glad you did.  :notworthy:

Once I've sorted the console ones then thats it try make a backup and all done... as you say mame is nice and simple as you can just drop your sets in your specified movies directory and all done.

I've used a few goodtool name renaming utils with some filters to remove foreign roms and a copy tool which copies in order of your  prefered version

 if thats not avail moves down to the next prefered named file ie [!] if its avail if not it will get the next avail one which matches the rest of my filter ie prefer a country very handy util,
then whack the roms and movies into one dir load into Flash renamer match them up and use the mass remove to get rid of the [] notes and bits once sorted... works lovely once complete... then in maximus they go.. ;)

may try do a road avenger preview vid for daphne, depends how daring I feel :)

I have the latest torrent, and to get the rest of the videos, I used filezilla ftp client and grabbed those files with a date stamp later than the date of the torrent (like everything after Feb 10 2008)

This assumes you donated to the cause and have ftp access.

IMHO -everyone- should donate. Those emumovies (not just for mame) make a tremendous difference to any cab or front end.

I am most definitely a donating supporter and have ftp access.  I was just wondering the best way to update my set to get the current ones.  I guess I could use the new torrent to download what I don't have, but where does one get the torrent from?  I don't see it on the FTP site...

Post by: Circo on April 09, 2008, 12:30:42 am
The best way to update is just log on, check the directory structure, make it the same on your hard drive.  Then using filezilla copy all of the contents to your drive, then when it gives you "This file already exists" dialog tell it to skip all exesting files.

The torrent will not be released until May 1st or so.

I think you should wait. I think more people need to donate to your cause! Tell me I'm wrong for wanting you to make a tiny bit of money for this. Why not keep the old torrents up and the rest take a subscription >:D

Great job circo!
I bought your DVD set on 3/11/08. has there been a lot of additions since then?
And I agree with you, uprightbass360, I think people should donate to the cause.
A mans time is worth a lot, and a project like the DVD set I got would definitely take a lot of time.

The MAME set was the big change, it has been completely replaced.  Minor changes: Atari Lynx and 3DO video sets have been "remastered" cropped, edited stuff like that.  So version 2 of those sets are on the FTP and DVD.

If you bought a set in march and cant download the new MAME set from the FTP please PM me.

Title: Re: EmuMovies M.A.M.E. Video Snaps .120 FINISHED!!!
Post by: DeLuSioNal29 on May 01, 2008, 05:41:25 pm
So,

I finally had some time to mess around with these.  And I had a couple of questions.

Anyone know where the video to mk2 went?  I don't see mk2.avi anywhere.

Also is the sound issue fixed with the mortal kombat 1,2,3 previews?  It didn't appear so when I tried the mk3.avi.  It still sounds low.  I'm guessing because it was recorded when the sound defaulted to be low and you have to manually raise it.  (Fixed in newer MAME version where it will now remember the volume automatically to be set higher).

Anyway, I would be willing to fix the sound issue and repost it, but I need it converted to any other format than DIVX .avi, as my editing program tends to balk at that format and only show the audio (no video).

Also, Zinc videos are a bit long, causing them to play fine at first, but then to stutter after about 20 seconds.  Again, I would be willing to "chop them down" and repost them as long as my editor can take the files, which it cannot.  I am using Sony's Vegas Pro 6.

Any help with these issues?

Hi. I recently upgraded to the Emumovies MAME SQ previews (on dvd) from the CDBrown set and noticed on some of the games previews don't work - i just get the snap instead of the avi preview. I'm using mame 0.109. The games i've found so far are R-Type (US), R-Type 2, Mortal Kombat (rev l3.1), Saint Dragon, Dragon Breed, Rainbow Islands (new version). Am i doing something wrong here ? Maybe the way i copied the files over (horizontal first then vertical) wrong as some of the horizontal were overwritten by the vertical ? Or avi snap names not matching rom names (for 0.109) ? It's unlikely all these games don't work in the latest rev of mame.   ???

Thanks in advance.

 :)

I don't think mentioning the site that has the torrent is allowed here in the forums, so you'll have to find it another way.

Actually making a link to a legal torrent is very legal in itself. Bit torrent is set up as a legal network just as a copier is meant to make legal copies. Off course the local forum policy would supercede that  8)

The issue, though, is that by linking to the legal torrent, you're revealing the site URL that is not allowed here. There are plenty of legal items on this particular site, but also a PLETHORA of illegal ones.

Issues with the site and me the last week or so
May 6th, 2008

Just thought it was only fair to give a heads up to all.  I have not been around for the last week or so due to personal problems.  Just to let everyone know that I am aware of the ordering page issues and that some shipments have been delayed.  If you have not yet recieved your order rest assured that I am getting all outstanding orders out today.  I apologize but unfortunately the only internet access that I have had for the past week is my cell phone and I am pretty limited with what I can do with that.  So please cut me a little slack, I am completely focused on catching things up today.  I am aware that the MAME set torrent also needs to be posted and will get to that as soon as everything else is caught up.  Also if you are having issues with the FTP ordering link please use the donate button instead.  This goes for registered GameEx users as well.

 On a side note we have another contributer to the project now, -=Flash=- has taken it upon himself to start working on computer system previews.  His work will be incorporated into the site shortly and is currently available on the ftp.

Yeah, that torrent has a lot of demand. It ends up using more bandwidth than any of the other mame-related torrents I am seeding, other than chd's. I'm up to 115 GB, btw. ;D

Ok so I tried getting in touch with Circo through email and messaging on this forum with no luck.  The GameEx special deal thing he has going doesn't work on his website.  Tom Spiers said he got in touch with Circo, and that Circo said that the paypal issue was to be fixed that day.  This was like 2 weeks ago. He recently posted to just use the donate button.  I did on Friday.  I have yet to receive FTP access nor even a message back from Circo.  I know it's only been 2 days, but my messages were sent a while ago.  Does anyone know what gives?  I could've downloaded the torrents by now.

Torrent's not up yet either - most likely Circo's got a case of Real Life (tm), I'm sure we'll hear from him soon...

Perhaps someone who has access to the FTP,  hence has the whole enchilada,  can get permission to seed it on [romsite name redacted] for Circo?  Once it's been DL by others,  it will be self-sustaining...

If someone who has access to the FTP can download the added files and put them up on another FTP so i can download them,  I can seed them at [romsite name redacted]....

No. The avis are just in folders (not zipped). There is a WIP folder for any updates to the collection.

Hello!

I'm really looking forward to the video snaps!!

Everyday last month (really everyone of them) i checked this place in the hope of finding a link to a torrent of these videosnaps or a message that they are posted in usenet.

Is there anybody who has them, who is willing to share them with the world??
I have a great respect for the person who made them and can understand that he's busy.
But if i understand correctly there are a lot more people who have them allready, please post them in usenet!!
Then they will spread over the internet in no time!

Thanks in advance,
Hans.

Hansie, they are supposed to become available via torrent, but you won't find a link here because it's against forum rules. That torrent (which you'll have to find on your own) still hasn't been updated with the latest additions.

Alas, poor Circo! I knew him, hellothere123: a fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy: he hath borne me on his back a thousand times; and now, how abhorred in my imagination it is!

Will we ever see the rest of the video snaps? To be, or not to be, that is the question...

I'm glad for you Havok, but I'm getting like 2kB. Could it be that you are/were downloading the older parts that everyone already has? Are other people finding that downloading of the brand new avi's is very slow or is it just me??? Maybe I'm just downloading stuff that no one else really has yet? I'm getting the lower quality horizontals. ???

Yep - hit a brick wall at 80% - I'm at 81.5% and I'm downloading at 12 kB/s now. At least I'm helping to get everyone up to my level. Looks like there is only one seeder, so none of us have more than 82%, hence the slow speed.

OK, good to know it's not a problem on my end. I'd think that it would gradually accelerate though as each of us grabs different pieces and can then share them with everyone else.

Yeah, you're right. It says it's been disabled due to a newer one becoming available, but it's not there. It did say "WIP" - maybe he found some problems and is in the process of getting it corrected. Doesn't look like there's a new torrent thread though, so I guess only time will tell.

There is a thread over there in "general chat" that is somewhat revealing about what's going on right now, as well as why it took so long for the torrent to go up (including posts by circo). I can't quite tell if a new torrent is right around the corner or we're going to go back to waiting and waiting like before yesterday.

TheShanMan, or anyone else,
Can you provide any detailes or updated on the discussion on the other forum? (I just cannot gain access to the other forum), Thx
Title: Re: EmuMovies M.A.M.E. Video Snaps .120 FINISHED!!!
Post by: TheShanMan on June 11, 2008, 01:43:37 pm
I think the reason it took so long in the first place was based on a misunderstanding on Circo's part regarding a conflict with another torrent (MameXT). And as for the torrent being pulled, it was due to Circo not following proper procedure when he created the torrent, though I think he misunderstood the reason as being that the mods were pulling his torrent because of the conflict with MameXT (some sort of favoritism being shown), felt offended, and left.

I emailed Circo today about it, hoping to clear up the confusion since he appeared to leave [romsite name redacted] before things got clarified. The things he failed to do are so simple that it would seem trivial to get the torrent back up. Let's hope that it happens soon!

Post by: Havok on June 11, 2008, 07:22:32 pm
I was going to donate anyways, so I'll just signup and download from his site instead. He created the videos, he shouldn't have to change stuff around to please [romsite name redacted]. I can certainly understand why he just walked away, if he did. They can be a bunch of whiney babies sometimes. Hopefully it gets sorted out...

Post by: TheShanMan on June 11, 2008, 08:22:21 pm
He doesn't have to change anything around. He just needs to provide a DAT and post in the new torrents forum. That's it. The guide to uploading torrents clearly states that. However, I think he got the same impression that you seem to have, Havok. The mods there clarified the expectations though.

In his defense, once he was ready to upload the new torrent, he posted and asked about.  One of the mods asked about the DAT, then Petr1fied came back and said he didn't need a DAT by basically handling the new torrent for him. 

Not really Circo's fault at all.  Someone with more experience could easily help him out by making the DAT for him.

With all Circo is handling at the time (I'm not sure of the details) he didn't need the hassle and could have gotten a bit of help from the mods.

Why not for the community who downloaded the last torrent, get together some how to share the contents so the community downloads the files they need?  I've managed to get  87.9%. Any ideas? No disrespect to Circo, I just hope he gets back into  the scene again, continuing his passion &  ignoring the crap which has happen and any future issues which may arise.  In the mean time, we can support each other?
