Ok, i do not understand how to play Dehacked's movie. I saw this movie on the list and say it was a recommended one and also that this player was playing 2 games at once. I was amazed so i decided to try it out. Now i'm having trouble what to do.
I downloaded the snes 9x, the movie smv file and megaman x the game. Now what else do i do? Do i need to download some other file?

If you try playing it in Snes9x, you can only see one game being played with it at a time which kind of ruins the experience. You'll be happier with the AVI.
In Snes9x you have to tell it to load the movie so you can see if for the loaded game.

Load up your Mega Man X (U) v1.1 ROM and play the movie. Observe that it runs to completion.
Load up Mega Man X 2 (U) and play the same movie. Observe that it runs to completion.
I think you'd be better off seeing them side-by-side in the AVI to maximize the effect. Syncing snes9x is almost impossible on windows, especially if one runs in the background.
So i'm not able to view this game on snes9x?
The only way I'm going to see this movie is if i download the avi. version of this? I'm on 56k and this will take me nearly half a day to finish download. Great... i'll maybe consider downloading it later.

You can view either one in Snes9x, not just both at the same time.

You could just open two windows, load up the .smv in each, and synch them. That's what I did. I just activated the "File" menu to pause so that one could catch up.

I could only play mmx2 when I unchecked all the movie cfg options. But that doesn´t work with mmx1. It always
desync at fleme Mammoth stage
"Genuine self-esteem, however, consists not of causeless feelings, but of certain knowledge about yourself.
It rests on the conviction that you — by your choices, effort and actions — have made yourself into the
kind of person able to deal with reality. It is the conviction — based on the evidence of your own volitional
functioning — that you are fundamentally able to succeed in life and, therefore, are deserving of that success."

Well, actually, now that I think about it, I don't think I watched the entire thing. So maybe one or both of them would've desynched at some point. But it DID work for a little while. Or maybe I'm a lunatic. It's difficult to say.

I also tried it, but MMX2 always desynched in WireSponge's stage, so he fell into the spikes. And I tried both ways: MMX1 in the background and MMX2 in the background and both times he commited suicide by jumping into the first spikes in Wire Sponge's stage.
EDIT: Ok, I got it work and I watched the whole thing to get sure, it won't desynch. Here's how:
1. Copy the movie file to have it twice.
2. Start Snes9x twice, so you have to windows (for better orientation let's call them left and right window).
3. Load MMX1 in the left window and MMX2 in the right one.
4. Load the the movie file to each window, but from your two different files, but don't start it! You should now have something like this:

5. Uncheck all emulator synch settings.
6. Move the right "Play movie" window directly over the left one.
7. Left-click hammering on "OK" to get both movies started nearly at the same time.
And then I hope you'll end up here:

I don't know which point is more or less important, but that's how I got it work.
well, i downloaded the avi file. Now im getting mad. I don't have the codec for playing this file for some reason so i downloaded the newest version. I thought it might work so when i installed it and played the .avi file, it is still missing the codec. I set the options so that it will download automatically but it still won't download the codec. Any anyone give me a site or know what codec to download?
