Snaps

[starbuck]

Hello everyone,

How do I get gameex to make snaps of games instead of videos, Looked thru pass posts, and i'm sure i'm just missing it

I think this is largely dependent on the emulator used...please check the controls for the emulator you wish to use to make snaps\titles with.

You just have to enable create snaps in the config. Once enabled, go back into GameEx and select the emulator you want snaps for. you should see a create snaps link as seen in picture 1. Hit create snaps and it will give you a new menu to choose video snaps or regular snaps. See pictures 2 and 3. You may have to scroll down the menu before you see snaps and time intervals. All this aside, you may or may not like the results you get with this, as it runs automatically and has no idea when to take a "good" snapshot. You may just get opening credits of the game or attract gameplay. If this is the case you might find that downloading snaps for particular emulators from someone who has compiled a collection of snaps from actual gameplay a better option for you.

BTW say hi to Apollo for me.

Thanks for the replys,

Having lunch with Richard(Apollo) on Saturday. Will tell him Jay says Hi.

Will check out your replys when I get home tonite. Know emulators will make snaps but some systems like Nes , I have over 11,000 games. Make take a while doing it manually. Have dl all the torrents but still have lots of blanks I would like to fill in. Thought gameex might be able to do it faster.

Another feature I would like to access is increasing the number of emulators I can use. The default is 43 but I would like to increase that higher. I read on the forum that it could be changed.

Thanks again gentleman

As long as GameEx sees the snaps you already have, and you have it pointed at the correct folder, it should fill in the blanks for you when you run create snaps.
