MAME Movie Maker released

I agree. Creating an ssf list for start frames has been on my to do list a long time (I think I mentioned it earlier on in the thread and got distracted...)

I'll change the 'ssf' list designed for movie generation to something else - Buddabing at the moment listgen looks for ssf.txt in the same dir, so lets rename that - just post what you rename it too.

Then I'm happy to host a new "original" ssf.txt which will just have something like romname,startframe.

If I recall though the patch available that implements ssf/fsf does not parse an external file. You have to speciify the frame in the mame command line. I think it would be great if you could add it to mame (is this easy?) so it reads ssf.txt and skips frames if the entry is present?

I decided on "boundary.txt". It's a nice, descriptive 8.3 name.

I've compiled a new listgen and I'll upload it soon.

I'll add a separate option to read the ssf.txt file. That's easy.

Silver:
Ok I'll change my website to generate a file called boundary.txt instead of ssf.txt.

Might not get to it till friday as I'm away with work, and not sure I can remember my ftp password for the webserver.....

Where is the makeleds.bat file supposed to come from?

I downloaded everything in the first post and ran it. I receive:

C:\MAME097>makemovies
'makeleds.bat' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
Average FPS: 422.461897 (100 frames)

C:\MAME097>time /T
11:05 PM
error invalid value for moviestartframe: -movieendframe
error while parsing cmdline

I see in src\windows\input.c, the reference to makeleds.bat, but do not see the batch file anywhere. The only thing I do see is a program entitled ledmovie.exe.

Thanks

Just create an empty file and name it makeleds.bat.

The batch file calls an external program to light up LEDs on your control panel, either with my LED controller or another.

So you can ignore that error.

Your problem is the "invalid value for moviestartframe". Check your makemovies.bat. It should have:

call batch 005 224x256 1 0 0

for a total of five argments after "batch".
