Tapewormz Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 I don't know if it's there, and if it is I can't seem to find it. I'm looking to set the point in which the video snap shots will start recording. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamminJ Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 I've never seen an option for telling it when to start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking to set the point in which the video snap shots will start recording.on gameex config under Enable/ Disable Features you should see "hide Create Snaps" change that to No this should show create snaps on the left hand side if you already have snaps i should continue where it left last Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hansolo77 Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 That will only enable screenshots. I think he wants to create videos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike_Fu Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 Okay, noob question here:If I run the command "C:\Program Files\GameEx\GameEx.exe -createvideos" it will create video files of every single game in my specified MAME roms directory?What kind of files does this create and how big are they? Where are they output to? Also, are these gameplay files (similar to the attract mode stuff)?Sorry for the questions but my curiosity is peaked.

Mike_Fu Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 Hmmm....Okay so as a test I created a temp directory and pointed Gamex to that as my rom directory. I put a single rom file in that directory and then tried to use the command to create videos. GameEx launched and then I got the warning dialog box about how long it would take etc. I clicked okay and then got nothing.I know that I can launch the game from withing GameEx. Is using the create video command a "registerd user only" feature?Also, I unistalled Divx and got FFDSHOW instead. It basically looks like GameEx is launching and then closing down without doing anything.Any advice?Below is a copy of my log file if that helps.10:09:20.9 6/6/2006: GameEx: Version 6.28: Starting Log10:09:20.9 6/6/2006: Operating System Platform: Win32NT10:09:20.9 6/6/2006: Operating System Name: Windows XP10:09:20.9 6/6/2006: Operating System Version: 5.1.260010:09:20.9 6/6/2006: Checking for versions of .net Framework installed10:09:20.9 6/6/2006: .net Framework 1.1 Installed10:09:20.9 6/6/2006: .net Framework 2.0 Installed10:09:20.9 6/6/2006: Checking Registration10:09:20.9 6/6/2006: Running Randomize()10:09:20.9 6/6/2006: Checking for applications to Launch On Startup10:09:20.9 6/6/2006: Initialising Video/MNG DLL's10:09:20.9 6/6/2006: Running Misc startup tasks10:09:20.9 6/6/2006: Setting Menu types10:09:20.9 6/6/2006: Opening Configuration File10:09:20.9 6/6/2006: Getting Configuration Values10:09:20.9 6/6/2006: Launching HideOS.exe10:09:21.7 6/6/2006: Hiding Taskbar10:09:21.7 6/6/2006: Is Media Center running?10:09:21.7 6/6/2006: Check Media Center Exit/Start Mode10:09:21.7 6/6/2006: Media Center Mode 210:09:21.7 6/6/2006: Text/Language: English10:09:21.7 6/6/2006: Applying Language/Text10:09:21.8 6/6/2006: Snap Delay set to: 110:09:21.8 6/6/2006: Get other settings10:09:21.8 6/6/2006: Set: Find emulator artwork on best match basis10:09:21.8 6/6/2006: SlikStik support enabled10:09:21.8 6/6/2006: Using DirectInput for keyboard input10:09:21.8 6/6/2006: Start work for Form10:09:21.8 6/6/2006: Getting Original Screen Size10:09:21.8 6/6/2006: Loading ICON10:09:21.8 6/6/2006: Initializing Component10:09:21.8 6/6/2006: Initialising Bass Audio Library10:09:22.0 6/6/2006: Loading default loading screen10:09:22.0 6/6/2006: Using 3D Alpha Blended Animations.
