Looks like there's still work being done on the SDL port, yay :)

Other than the controller holding startup screen, is there any good reason to have the encode be widescreen?!

Although I never really TRC all that much, it was fun to watch this run. Definite yes vote...

Without testing MUGG's solutions, I'd say it's way simpler than the solution I used back then. I think I wrote some hack-ish program in C that read the raw input the emulator produced from a fifo file, read half the frame, threw in the logo and read the rest of the frame. All that was then given to mencoder to encode over 2 or even 3 passes. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find said code anymore (other than it being superfluous), so I can't provide you with the tools I used.

Try building it with »scons GTK=0« or »scons GTK_LITE=0«. Tbh, though, neither did I write that code or do I know if the SDL port itself still functions without the GTK GUI.

Did you mean .mkv from publication 1215? I will be seeding this for the next 2 days or so for your client to go get it.

How do you handle threads on multicore systems that go beyond 2 CPUs? Also, how is it with bitrate vs crf these days? Is using the bitrate still preferred or has crf won the fight? Although I've initially been against using crf as the filesize is practically uncontrollable, I however learned to appreciate it after resigning here for its quality and speed (in comparision to a fullblown 3pass) when size just isn't a matter to worry about. To be honest, having to comply with the (former) 4.0MB/min limit led to at least 1 subpar encode I had to publish, Mischief Makers on N64 being the one I remember most.

Alright, feel free to ignore the last 2 sentences of my previous post, then :P

It was nice to watch, yes vote. But I seriously do hope you guys make another encode. Overall video quality set aside, what's up with the resolution and the settings? Were they some kind of requirements for the streaming to work?

Actually, that glitched Crash Bandicoot run and the FCEUX GUI on Linux "brought me back" ;)

Although Turok wasn't really my kind of game, I somehow liked this run. Yes vote.

http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?ngvifcoqrtz For some reason, I couldn't get it to compile statically. If this happens to run for you on x86 feel free to use it. If it does no you will have to grab the source off svn or wait for the next release.

Just updated my svn tree and I do have to say: nice work on the GTK interface! I'll see if I can incorporate some more features like avi dumping...

But it's the exact reason why I used a second screen for the N64 encodes. Unexpected popups usually occur on the first screen only. Usually. (Anyone wonder why I prefer simple desktops over complex ones like Gnome or KDE?)
You use "simple desktops" for your Firefox plugins to bug you anyway? :D It's a real shame I missed that. I thought cutting the running apps down to Firefox and X-Chat would suffice, but it seems I've been proven wrong once more. Oh well, why wouldn't anybody improve the run so we can forget about this ugly mistake? Alternatively, one might hope for Mupen64Plus to come up with a better way of capturing a run...

Thanks for the encode, errror1! Overall, I enjoyed the run although the missing SFX killed it a bit. But I'm sure that can be solved one way or the other. Yes vote :) Is there a 100% run in the making? I haven't even found a non-TA 100% run, so a TAS would be really neat.

I still have the source files, so in case nobody else is going to, I'd have it uploaded some place in a day or two. /edit: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?tzmynymunmz The quality isn't perfect, but "good enough" imho.

I'm with Randil on this one. Although they might have different goals, I prefer Supper's run simply because it ends this horrible game stop earlier. Thus, voting no.

I haven't tested that particular run myself, but I know of at least 2 others that desync almost immediately. According to gocha, the emulation should be done in the core, i.e. platform-independent. But there are still some little hacks like sound sync and fake mute that have different/missing implementations on the *nix port. If you want to give it a shot, feel free to commit a patch :)

You may limit yourself to one smiley and punctuation mark per sentence - if you really want to, that is.
