Title: Record MAME AVI???
Post by: DinoRoger on March 07, 2004, 09:34:26 pm
Does anyone know where I can find an old version of MAME32 that allowed recording play to avi or are there othre methods to recording MAME playback to AVI.

Recording out of mame doesn't work too well, use a third party program like jakobud suggested....

These are the settings you want:

Turn off hwstretch, direct3d and direct draw

Set window mode to 1 and max to 0

Now the game will pop up on your desktop in it's native resolution without "blending" issues.

Select the window with your capturing program and your all set.

For capturing settings I suggest a modest 10fps with the sound  at 22 khz or less. These are the settings peter and myself use.

You can use FRAPs (http://www.fraps.com/download.htm (http://www.fraps.com/download.htm)) look at the different versions and decide which one works for you. It works great even with DirectX based games. I've never tried it with MAME but I can't imagine that it wouldn't work.

That could make a cool screensaver instead of static screenshots. Unfortunately I've never found a free screesaver that would randomly pick movies from a list/directory and play them. If anyone knows of any let me know.

Hehe I use emusaver so I get to see the actual games running instead of avis and I can play them if I see one that's interesting.
