I am trying to figure out how to record a movie with FCEU v0.98.28 on NetBSD 3.1. I can press Shift+F5 to start recording, but this starts recording at whatever point I am at in the game, without resetting the rom. How can I start recording from the very beginning when the rom is loaded? Or am I missing something? Unfortunately, there is a more important problem: FCEU freezes completely about five seconds after I start recording with Shift+F5. Esc and Ctrl+C are useless. I have to send it the KILL signal from the command line. This happens with every rom I've tried. Here is where it gets interesting, though. FCEU does seem to be recording correctly for the few seconds before it freezes. That is, it creates an short fcm file that I can play back without problems. During the playback, I can save state, then load the state I just saved. Of course now I'm recording input again, but surprisingly it doesn't freeze this time! If any Linux users have insights about what is going on here, I would be very interested to hear them. I'm hoping that there is a simple user error on my part rather than strange BSD compatibility problems.
