Mame Video Capturing: Unterschied zwischen den Versionen

 

 

 

=Introduction=

*Extract the contents of advancecomp archive into a folder. The easiest way to deal with the next commandline commands is to copy your mng and wave file into your extracted AdvanceCOMP folder. Note: I am using a different version of Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo ind this example. Its the japanese version and is named ssf2jx instead of ssf2t.

 

Navigate to your advancecomp folder (in my case its: E:\mame-guide\advancecomp-1.15-windows-pentium\). Here is a little help on old

dos navigation. You can navigate by typing <code>cd..</code> to a parent folder or <code>cd somefolder</code> to navigate to a desired subfolder. To change to another drive type <code>E:\</code> or another letter. In my case its drive E. This depends on how your drives are named. Notice that my ssf2xj.mng and ssf2xj.wav are already copied into this folder.

image sequence to your advancecomp folder. Just wait until the extraction stops and you are done. The number at the end of the extraction is the framerate of this mng stream. It may vary.

 

* Nearly all games run with 60fps which means: If your mng file duration is 2min the resulting png sequence will be: 60 frames per second * 120 seconds = 7200 png files

*The next thing you need to do is to setup the correct framerate of the footage. To do so click on Video then select Frame Rate. This step is important. The framerate depends on the frecuency of your game. I mentioned the framerate at the end of the mng extraction earlier.

*If the number shows '''60''' then select the second option change frame rate to (fps) and change it to 60.

*For all other odd numbers (like 59 if you capture cps2) select the third option and chose: '''change so video and audio durations match''' like in the screenshot shown below. Note that my screenshot shows a 59.634 framerate. This is absolutley ok because if you visit [http://www.mameworld.net/maws/romset/ssf2xj the mame database maws] and scroll down to frequency you will notice: The game runs at 59.633333Hz. This is not an error. The game really runs at that frequency. A lot older games have such strange frequencies.

This method follows a different new approach. Newer mame versions support a avi writing method to ease up things. Please take a look at these two sections before you read on. They explain the commandline structure and how to write own batch scripts for recording.

Instead of using this line([[Mame_Video_Capturing#Introduction: | from above example]):

If your framerate was 60 you are done. This is probably what you wanted in the first place Sit back and enjoy your crisp, fluid 60fps video footage. If your framerate was odd ( like 59.634 for CPS2 games ) then adjust it to match 60fps. Trust me you will not notice the difference between 59.634 and 60.
