MAME Movie Maker released

<< < (101/153) > >>

Anyone tried the rom called 4enraya?
It reboots my computer when I try to make a movie! (not just a crash to blue screen or anything)
At first I thought it was because I was using my own athlon XP optimized build(My computer is an Athlon XP 2400+) but it does the same with the buddamame binary provided in the zip file.
I can play the game just fine, I just can't make a movie.

weird and reproduceable.

papaschtroumpf:
I'm done through the end of "A" and had trouble with the following:

"arlingtn" and "arabian"  both produced the following error in virtualdub" "Cannot initialize video compression due to codec error: the source image format is not acceptable". Not sure what that means. Please note I'm using the DivX codec, not Xvid.

"aircob22" amd "astorm" generated 2:46 minutes of black screen (max frames exceeded). It turns out that when you try to play those it tells you that it doesn't run properly. I thought it would have been filtered by my SQL filter:
select * from gamedata where
   catver_category <> 'Unplayable'
   and catver_category not like '%Mature%'
   and catver_category not like '%Mahjong%'   
   and full_desc not like '%Quiz%'
   and full_desc not like '%Japan%'
order by romname;

Edit: I added "and gamelist_working <> 'No' "

The loop detection still seems to be foiled by black frames, I thought it wasn't supposed to detect black frames?  "avspirit" is one of the games that gets cut short. Others that re not properly detected include: 4in1, 64street, ainferno, alibaba, 8ball, apb, appoooh, 3stooges, ...

several of these games have warnings of sorts but should be playable, although maybe I need to refine my filter to only get really playable ROMS.


other games like 280zzzap don't have the loop detected properly but are good enough to show what the game is about.

The dynamic one is the correct one - the other ssf.txt is an old file designed to skip startup frames for missing the bios (nothing to do with videos). Perhaps we should change the default name for this? I think listgen looks for ssf.txt though.

Silver,
Haven't had time to help with the SSF recently, but will get to it sometime. 

What version of virtualdub are you using?  I've generated a set using 1.62 on one machine without problems.  I set up another machine with 1.64 and have gotten the out of bounds errors about 5 or so times(I'm up to Y on that machine).  There are a couple of games I noticed may need tweaking, but for the most part everything is great.  Pretty good odds considering well over 2000 attract modes.  (I'm also sticking with .92 romset and .92 version of Mame)
