Have you seen my website?
www.emumovies.com
I already did this. ;)
Mikonos:
Wow!
What is your methodology? I see 320x240, Mp3 sound
Have all videos the same quality? I see Super Mario Bros. (JU) (PRG0) [!] without sound; Micky Mania (U) have a lack of music.
Do you need some help? I don´t want gain money but I want to help you to perfect your collection.
Please see my post to see the megaupload samples that I did.

All of my sets are distributed freely via bittorrent, however due to popular demand I also offer a DVD set by mail. Currently the complete collection takes 7 DVD's.

Here is a post on how I am doing them now, I am now working on HiQ sets only (640x480 Xvid 56kbps MP3) as they work really well in screensaver mode as well as previews in a FE.
--- Quote from: Circo on March 11, 2007, 03:14:03 pm ---I have gone through 4 computers since I started this project, trying to get enough horsepower to do this right. Here is what I am currently running:
Intel Core 2 Duo 6400 OC to 2.9Ghz per core
2GB DDR2 800
BFG nforce 680i Mobo
BFG geforce 8800 GTS 640MB Video
Sound Blaster X-Fi
WD Raptor 10000RPM 74GB
Seagate 750GB HD
500GB External HD
Some other HD's I have almost 2TB of workspace.
Logitech G15 Keyboard with LCD display (for fraps)
Samsung 20" LCD
Sony 19" LCD
Xbox 360 Controller
Dual Boot with vista and xp pro. XP is only for EmuMovies, nothing else is installed but what I use for this project. I use Vista for everything else.
I set the sony monitor to 640x480 res then run the emulator fullscreen. Using FRAPS for capturing, I then start the emulator, check through the intro sequence to see if it is good enough. Usually I actually play the game for a minute or so while capturing then reset the emulator to capture the intro sequence. I then exit the emulator then drop the capture into virtualdub. I do sone quick editing, my target size per fille is about 30 seconds (usually about 20-25 seconds of gameplay then the title screen). If it has a really good intro it may be longer.
In virtualdub I export into Xvid using quant level 4 and MP3 audio at 56kbps. I used to use 128 but I can not tell the differance in quality and it help keep the file size down a bit.
Last night using this process I was able to get through about 75 games.

I have used many different processes over the last couple of years, the NES was my first set and it kind of sucks. I that set I wasn't going in and getting actual gameplay I was just recording whatever happened when you booted up the rom, thats why I label it game intros. All of the rest I went and got actual gameplay. I am always open for help, but I am only looking for HiQ sets at this point. If you are interested, I would be more than happy to walk you through it, and it looks for the most part that we are exactly on the same page.
