playback of mame replay files - any utilities out there?
Posted: Tue Oct 29, 2002 11:39 am
[*note: i'm reposting this from the playbackability forum *]
i've looked around,
and thought maybe somebody here knows..
are there any standalone tools?
or modified versions of mame that
are good for playback of replay files?
i watch a lot of replays, and study them,
and it is very time consuming..
it would be nice to:
1) export to .avi or .mpg , this feature was
in some earlier versions of mame, but i can't
get it to work
2) fast forward or backward at USER defined
rate (yes, i know about speed throttling)..
also have a user seek to point in playback,
(ie. the end or beginning, or anywhere
in between)..
3) pause, freeze-frame, and screen capture
(animation also)...[yes, i know you can
currently do that with f12, and p]
4) nice front-end or gui interface
does anyone have an idea about this,
where to look, which forums to ask,
or has someone started something
like this already?
i am a programmer, (c/vb) but have not
looked at the mame code yet..
thanks in advance...
i figure the board editors could use
something like this, perhaps..
later
