== Motivation behind this guide == | |||
* I own quite a lot Jamma PCBs including NeoGeo MVS, CPS1/CPS2 and recording from such devices was and will always be a reak pain in the ass. Plus analog capturing suffers from loss of picturequality. So my main motivation behind this guide was to record clean and hardware-native fps arcade footage. | |||
* The second point is to provide a solid mame capture guide for combomovie performers and other editors as well. Most of them are already familiar with the well known and awesome kawaks emulator but only a few tried mame based projects. Mame features such nice and wellmade (but yet! unexplored) fighting games. I want to encourage other combomaker to try theses new grounds. | |||
* Kaillera netplay fighting has become very popular since ~2001. This guide makes it possible to record inputfiles from online played sessions without the usage of shareware screen capture tools. Everything in this guide is done with freeware tools ;) | |||
== General Introduction and current problems == | |||
This guide (as it is now) is unfortunately not a 100% solution for capturing emulated games but it works well for most systems and games. The mame emulator is always under heavy development and a lot things may change but it is getting better with every new version. I am trying to show the current capture abilities as they are now. Mame was designed to emulate arcade systems/chipsets as accurate as possible. This strength is sometimes also it´s greatest weakness. First: Not all games run at 60fps. This is simply a lie! This will be the first problem you may encounter. Mame emulates the internal frequency and that means: A game like Ultimate Mortal Kombat will not run at 60fps but at 54.815170Hz. This is where the real capturing fun starts. 4245 out of 6930 mame 0122u2 games run at 60fps. I will show a virtualdub workaround to correct this to 60fps later in this guide. And I will also update this guide if another (mame internal) solution becomes available. | |||
NeoGeo games crash during recording (under mame32 plus plus v0.119). I haven´t found out why but i am working on it. Everything else works fine. NeoGeo recording works in mame 0.122 but with input desyncs. | |||
== What you need == | |||
* Basically every newer mame built will do its job (e.g. 0.119 and newer). Newer, bugfixed versions are recommended. I am using Mame32 Plus Plus v0.119 in this guide because of its kaillera support and overall netplay popularity. Download it here. | |||
* The next tool you need is: AdvanceCOMP (a collection of recompression utilities for various mame files) download | |||
* Any virtualdub version to put your later results together. You can download the newest version here. | |||
* A bunch recorded input files. Remember: your inputfile version and mame version must match!Version missmatches will result in desyncs or won´t work at all! | |||
