I don't have CPU>Play movie/Resume record from savestate so I can't play the movies. I downloaded Gens 2.11. Help!

You can only view/record movies with the modded emulator. Version 2.11 (official) won't support movies because the author is reluctant to add movie playing/recording to it. So just get Gens movie 9e from the sticky.

It's on the first page of the sticky thread. And the latest version is 9f http://step.polymtl.ca/~jyzero/gens_movie_9f.zip

The server I use seems to be down at the moment. Try again later.

OK, I got the gens movie player. Now when I go and try to watch them, all I get is a blank black screen. Reason why the video won't play. It's the Streets of Rage 3 single player vid.

Perhaps it would help to un pause the emulator? Try the ESC button. If that doesn't help, try to get version 9f which is the latest one.

Did you load the proper ROM before selecting CPU/Play Movie?

Woulden't that just call a desync? Unless it's played from state maybe?

It would be a black screen if he didn't load any ROM at all, that's what I meant.

Well.. Those "movies" are just a file which contains key presses and timings. Thats why they are soo small. And thats why some of them gets produced to AVI later on. :)
