I have created an unofficial patch for
FinalBurn Alpha which adds movie re-recording support plus some other goodies. FBA is a windows-only emulator that runs a good selection of popular arcade games, such as those on cps2 hardware (Street Fighter II) and NeoGeo hardware (Metal Slug, Samurai Shodown). Team FBA is currenly working on an
SDL port.
A binary is available here (right-click, save-as):

Here are keyboard shortcuts which you might find useful:
- F3 : reset (this edit made by feitclub 11/6/04)
- F8/F11 : decrease/increase savestate slot
- F9/F10 : load/save savestate
- F1 : fast-forward, or advance a single frame while paused
- PAUSE : pause the game
- Shift -/+ : decrease/increase the emulation speed
- Shift Backspace : toggle frame counter display (when recording or playing back a movie).
Unfortunately, you can't remap any of these (yet), but you can pause the game in order to give yourself plenty of time to issue commands (like loading a savestate).
Please note that this is an unofficial and unsupported patch for FBA. Please don't bother the FBA devs with questions or bugs regarding this patch.
For more detailed information on the actual source patch itself, follow
this link.
EDIT: (11/6/04) I just learned about F3=reset, so I added it to the list of important keyboard shortcuts. It's impossible to record a worthwhile movie without beginning with a reset. - feitclub
