Perhaps it's the Hide Desktop setting found in Display Settings? If set to Yes then it could behave this way.

I didn't see it mentioned in the settings that video snaps are a registered feature. That being said, it should work by setting the path for the emulator. Also required would be a codec to handle the files being played correctly. The most recommended one here at GameEx Forums is the Shark007 pack. What kind of problems were you having?

You can find the Shark007 codec packs here. If you are running 64-bit Windows 7, be sure to get the x64 pack as well.

Tom - can we have the link for Shark007 Codec packs link placed on the Recommended Downloads or Links page of the GameEx.net site?

What application is playing them? Do the video names match the rom names?

[mesk]

windows media player is playing them,im checking now to see if the names match

[mesk]
