Title: How does one make video snaps?
Post by: Chris2 on September 28, 2008, 01:24:50 pm

I love the look of emumovies mame video snaps, and I'd love to have them for some PC games I'll be running on my machine. Can I make my own? If so, then how?

Cook Time: 10 minutes
Ingredients:

    * 2 3/4 cups self-rising flour
    * 1 teaspoon baking soda
    * 1 teaspoon cinnamon
    * 1 teaspoon ginger
    * 1/4 teaspoon cloves
    * 1 cup brown sugar, packed
    * 3/4 cup margarine or butter, softened
    * 1 egg
    * 1/4 cup light molasses

Preparation:
Combine flour, soda, and spices in a bowl and set aside. Cream sugar and margarine. Beat in egg and molasses until light and fluffy. Stir in flour mixture just until blended. Chill for 2 hours or more. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Shape dough into 3/4-inch balls, roll in granulated sugar, and place on lightly greased baking sheets about 2 inches apart. Flatten each ball with the bottom of a glass dipped in sugar. Bake about 8 to 10 minutes, until set.
Makes 8 dozen cookies.

That's just plain snaps.  To make them video snaps, press F12, put the baked snap into a cookie printer, set cookie type to hard, and print the picture onto the snap.

More details in docs/config.txt file that comes with mame.

Maybe Fraps (http://www.fraps.com)?

Circo from EmuMovies uses Camtasia.  100 times better than Fraps.
