Ok, I can reproduce it now, that is a bug. I thought you were talking about toggling "read-only" which is another way to switch between watching and recording. (I always keep a save state at the first frame, switch to read-only, and load that state to avoid having to bring up the play movie dialog for that.)
(And I know nothing about SGB speed in VBA. I haven't seen anything that would cause SGB games to emulate at a different speed than GB games but I can't be sure about that.)
Theres something I really want to see in VBA, toggle "mix current and last frame". It makes GB / SGB looks alot better, believe me. (see BGB, press F11, Graphic tab)
Is it easy to add it to VBA?
*edit - Nevermind, it's already in VBA in Filter*
Yeah something like motion blur, it's what you see exactly on actual GB handheld. You know explosion on Mega Man 5, it looks horrible without mixing last frame and current frame.
What you're looking for is probably the Options / Filter / Interframe Blending option. Motion Blur in that will be what you're looking for. I don't know how the Smart blend works differently, but I have a feeling it has something to with sprite layers or something.
Yeah that's what I'm looking for Motion Blur, meh.. why did they put it in "filter".. I was looking in "emulator" and thought it didnt have it.
oh by the way, Smart makes game graphic a bit screwy, makes it a bit NOT smart.
(And I know nothing about SGB speed in VBA. I haven't seen anything that would cause SGB games to emulate at a different speed than GB games but I can't be sure about that.)
Yeah... The question is whether the emulator developers considered that. I think it would make more sense to emulate everything at 60 Hz. That works best for monitor sync, and it makes movie times easy to compare.
put yourself in my rocketpack if that poochie is one outrageous dude
Released another new version (9), mostly to fix bugs. See the first post of this thread.
Here are the recent changes:
- fixes support for motion sensor re-recording [somebody had better make a tilt n' tumble time attack now]
- adds auto-hold (toggle) key commands, for those who get tired of holding the run button all the time
- makes auto-fire better (so you can make it hit different buttons on alternating frames)
- fixes bug with playing a movie that's already open sometimes leaving input at end of movie
- widens the hotkey customizer list so long commands aren't cut off
- adds a warning dialog if beginning recording when lag reduction is off
- reduces the length of some more messages
- makes some menu items never disable so their accelerators don't stop working (workaround)
- tweaked the Recent menu
- fixes display of motion sensor buttons, and hides it when the game doesn't support it
- fixes a sporadic from-snapshot desync bug for the umpteenth time
(About the emulation speed - I am leaving it at 60 Hz for now, mainly because there's no easy way to change it.)
- adds auto-hold (toggle) key commands, for those who get tired of holding the run button all the time
Hell yes! It'll be some use to Mega Man 5 run, Im still curious if it worth using swapping B on and B off in some frames. Downloading when I get home from college.
Can you add something that auto-split AVI when reaching 2 Gigabytes? It's hard to deal with files bigger than 2 GB even if NTFS is supposed to support it, personally, I think it's bullshit.
So you just made From Reset not an option anymore? That seems kinda mean.
Oh wait, it only seems to be disabled for the old Game Boys. Game Boy Advance still has the option. What's up with that? And how is it helpful to take out the word "SRAM"? I think it would be better to change "From Start" to "From Power-On".

I couldn't get from-SRAM recording to work at all for GB games, so I disabled it until I can figure it out. There is still from-snapshot and from-power-on for them, at least.

I don't understand. I changed it to say the following:
Record Options:
* From start (power-on)
* From reset (SRAM)
* From now (snapshot)
And the word "SRAM" was not even there before in the first place to take out. (EDIT: actually it was in the movie play dialog but I didn't change that part of it.)
Oh, something must have gone wrong. I don't see any of those parenthesized words.
But in the other Version 9, I saw "From reset/SRAM". Now I'm confused.
Okay, never mind, I see them now. I must have opened the wrong version.

Just FYI, everyone, BagOfMagicFood's last name is Ferneau. I hope that clears some of this up.
Nitsuja: Thanks for making this more clear. Actually, thanks for everything you've done with VBA and snes9x.
When recording AVI, I noticed that when frameskip was set to 2, it records the AVI at 60 FPS with duplicated frames. Normally, at frameskip 2, it should record at 20 FPS without duplicated frames.
Edit: I have just noticed there was a 9b release. What's the diff between 9 and 9b?

OK, to do that I'd have to make the frameskip not changeable while an AVI is being recorded, but that's not unreasonable.

9b has clearer labels for the options in the movie recording dialog, that's all (there wasn't even any source code changed).

I would like to use Ctrl for frame advance but I can't. Is it possible to add support for it?
Well, it's possible, but it would be quite difficult (requiring completely re-implementing the key customization system).

No wonder that a dummy like me could easily read and understand the menues so I could make my first re-recorded movie (no matter how in-perfect it turned out to be). I must thank nitsuja for making this possible. Thanks, man! You rock! ^_^
