Create Snaps

[eXo]

Ive been using gameex for a few months now, and for the most part I have the in's and outs of configuring and getting to look exactly how I like down. I don't however, understand the 'create snaps' options at all.

Can someone explain this option or point me to some sort of documentation somewhere regarding it?

I need to create snaps of quite a few of my games, and I'm hoping this option might automate it to some degree. Although I may be reading it toally wrong, and misunderstand it's purpose.

It does exactly that. Create snaps and let it sit for however long it takes to go thru your games.

I did try hitting it once just to see what would happen - and I have to say, nothing happened.

Is there any special configuration needed?

How long does it wait to take the snap once the game starts? Can that time be changed?

Where does it save the snaps too?

And any other questions you can answer would be very helpful.

Well I know it doesnt work for my zsnes games. It did work for my nestopia and fusion games. You have to be a registered user if that makes a difference.

Ya, I'm registered. When I click create snaps the screen blinks momentarily and it just drops me back to the game selection screen.

I was just trying it on my gameboy games which runs through Visual Boy Advance.

I can play my games fine - nice perfect running fullscreen mode. I can't however seem to get the snaps working. Currently I'm digging through the configuration settings looking for anything about create snaps.

FYI - I'm using the latest version, just ran my autoupdate to be sure.

Yeah it does the same thing for me with my zsnes games. Just will not create snaps. I don't have visual boy advance so can't test here. If you find something out. Let me know. I would love to do it for my zsnes games.

I don't know about the gameex create snaps option and why it doesn't work for some emus but are these console screen snap packs of any use to you?

No not really. I have edited my rom names. So they don't match.

No special configuration needed.

You can set how long to display the game before the snapshot is taken. 10,20,30 sec etc.

It saves the snap to the directory you set up in gameex config. For that emulator.

Appreciate the link, but I've already got their packs - and I've renamed their packs to match my roms using batch file renamers. My issue is that their gameboy screenshot archive is ancient. Leaves me with blanks for most GBA games.

I haven't had a problem making .avi previews or snaps with VisualBoyAdvance so I don't think it's the emulator.
