I been converting fcm files to fmv for editing previous levels, but when I convert them back to fcm, the Replay input now shows "Recorded From: Savestate" instead of Reset, "ROM Checksum" shows all 0's and "Current ROM Sum" is now in red text. Will this be a problem when making the avi file? It runs just fine when I play it and it doesn't desync. Also, is FCM the preferred format now? Sorry if this has been gone over before, but I have been out of it for a while. [Edit: Thread title changed by Bisqwit a year later. Original title: "Question about nesmock"]

FMVs do not support this extra data, and so it is discarded when converting FCM->FMV

SInce record from reset is the default option for recording, I think it should set it to From reset by default. And yes, FCM rules.

Yes, frame advance is too good. :) So creating movies for FCM files coverted from FMV files is no problem? I read that FCM has better sound and picture for movies, so I want the finished product to be in this format.

If you keep a backup copy of the .fcm before converting and editing, you can probably copy the header over to restore the info (ROM checksum, start from reset, etc.) And I've always liked FCM over FMV myself, FCEU is the most accurate NES emulator I know of ... (edited: ... after Nintendulator)

Actually, nesmock makes them all "poweron"-based, not "reset"-based. Maybe FCEU shows a different interpretation in the "Replay input".

I released a new Nesmock version. It now allows manually specifying some text and number fields that otherwise would be lost in the conversion.

Converts 1.fmv to chipdale.fcm, with the following settings: - rom name = Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers (U) [!].nes - movie name = Chip'n Dale two-player tool-assisted speedrun; performed by Bisqwit alone - md5sum = calculated from file chipdale.nes - fceu version = 0.98.12 Get it from: http://bisqwit.iki.fi/source/nesmock.html So... who will compile the Windows version? Because the command line support in Windows is somewhat unsane, certain strings can not be passed to nesmock in Windows version. Cygwin mends that problem, but what would mend the I-want-only-click-click people?

1. Install mingw32 2. Compile: gcc -o nesmock.exe main.cc md5.cc -O3 Substitute "gcc" with the name of the gcc command in mingw32. Possibly, if you have cygwin installed, you can compile it with simply "make", but first you must add -mno-cygwin to CXXFLAGS in the Makefile.sets file. I think. I have tried neither way in Windows.

Under mingw, the method is wrong. Under Cygwn it was a success.

Good that you finally got around to adding the set commands, now I don't need to hex edit all that information back in myself.

  NMV  (Nintendulator 0.950) - Read & Write
  VMV  (VirtuaNES)           - Read

Example:
  nesmock -o2 smb1a.fcm smb1a.fmv
Example use:
$ nesmock long.fcm long.fmv
$ nesmock short.fcm short.fmv
$ dd if=long.fmv of=short.fmv conv=notrunv bs=1 skip=$[144+2000*2] seek=$[144+1900*2]
$ nesmock short.fmv -tlong.fcm newfile.fcm
Copy movie from "long.fcm" from frame 2000 into "short.fcm" at frame 1900. Leave originals unchanged, save into "newfile.fcm". Take savestate from "long.fcm". So... who will compile the Windows version? Note: Nesmock saves reset-based FCEU movies automatically as poweron-based. If a savestate is given, then it will make them reset-based instead. You can use this to mend desperate desync situations when your movie would otherwise not work after running nesmock.

Hey, long time no see I guess. I was just trying to compile nesmock in Windows but I'm failing hard. That's because I'm not sure where in Makefile.sets I'm supposed to add -mno-cygwin. (I am not experienced at this at all) I tried adding it on the CXXFLAGS line but I get the error that -mno-cygwin is not supposed to be there. I tried adding it below on a new line, but that gives me a "missing separator" error. So, where in the file am I supposed to add -mno-cygwin? I can only guess that it's in this section:
# Flags.
CFLAGS=$(OPTIM) $(CCOPTS)
CXXFLAGS=$(OPTIM) $(CXXOPTS)
#-fno-rtti
But as nothing I've tried works, I'm at a loss. Please help! EDIT: I realised that you might wanna see the failed output too:
