<< < (64/73) > >>

cdbrown:
The following are games which I have had trouble trying to get a video during the automated process.  Could someone confirm whether these are working and playable in .106.  Much appreciated.

Cdbrown, thanks for all your hard work on the vid's, they really are quite impressive!

Just adding to this )p( and myself expermiented with running mame within the fe ages ago.  It is impractical. 

Yes it is attract modes btw (why in the world people want just gameplay is beyond me considering attract modes contain the gameplay and they are cooler looking.)

You can run mame as an element on the fe (or at least look that way)  the problem arises in that,.. well it's mame, have you ever ran it before?

Mame takes a long time to load roms... it takes a long time for some games to boot, and you have warning screens and such to deal with.  Mame also takes a heap of memory, so your fe is gonna slow to a crawl on the larger games. 

Then there are the usual window-related issues like removing the border, maintaing focus while still keeping the mame wndow visible ect...

So it is possible, you just don't want to do that.

Howard - I'm assuming you are responding to the various posts at the top of this thread about putting mame in an FE.  Well I hope so anyway.....

I do endevour to capture the attract modes, however some games just don't show any action during the attract sequence or even have any sequence and hence don't provide the user any idea of what the game play is about.  Which I admit goes against the premise of the attract sequence, but I like to see what a small clip of what the game is going to be, I can then check out the full attract mode in full screen when the rom is loaded.

Anyway, the 0.106 vids have been done.  There are 2907 out of 3316 (409 unplayable or unable to capture) games with vids.  I created the torrent and a dat file (using clrmame dir2dat) this morning.  Will check that the dat works correctly with the set before posting them both on [romsite name redacted].  Estimating it will be uploaded in about 10 hours.

Cheers

What if you just added something to your FE such that if the video is not found it gives you the ability to generate it? Perhaps as a separate menu option since you wouldn't want this to be asking you to create videos while actually running the FE.
