Project 64 and video snaps

[stasisrat]

Hi, I have had Mame setup in my cab for the last couple years run through the Gameex Front-end with video snaps working for all Mame previews. I then moved on to Project64 and ran into a snag. Project 64 runs great and I have no problems with it. The problem I have is the video snap previews either don't load at all or there is anywhere from a 10 to 30 second delay for them to start to work(very few will work after delay). I have quadruple checked the file path.

The videos are avi's that I obtained from emumovies. It's completely baffled me on why it works so well with the mame videos but not Project64's. I can't imagine this issue having anything to do with Project64. The only thing that looks odd to me are the filenames in the videos. The N64 videos have one difference from Mame's,(U) and [!] appears in the filename. Example: "Banjo-Kazooie (U) [!].avi"

My obsessive compulsive side needs to figure this out so I can move on to the next emu. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Hi !

Have you checked your ROMs naming and your videos naming?

Problably your ROMS have diferent names of your videos.

Try using FATMATCH (Quick search in the Foruns).

This software already helped me a LOT.

It matches your video names with your rom names.

Also another tool worth mentioning is Tempest's tool "Skinny Match" found here.

You may want to make sure that Tweaks/Performance > Snaps Best Match is set to 'Yes'.

If GameEx still can't match your rom names to your artwork, then you may want to check out Skinny Match as well. Click on my signature for a link.
