Been a *long* time lurker here (btw, site rocks, movies rocks, everything rocks), and just curious if the linux gens will be able to play back movies recorded in win32? Unfortunately so far the provided gens.exe cores for me in wine (uggh, dont like wine anyways). Would be nice to see linux supported. :) Thanks G.

Yes, I've tested it already.

Is it available for download yet? THanks for the quick response. G.

I no longer have it. Ask Bisqwit who improved it anyway. You can play the Windows version on Wine too. Just be sure to set your desktop resolution to 16 bit.

I'll make a patch for it then.

I have now processed four Genesis movies. Two of them were ok, but two of them went into "pause" mode exactly when the movie ends - like if they had pressed "start" (or whatever is the pause key in Sega Genesis) just before ending the movie. These movies are: - Altered Beast by Dan - Quackshot by nif_boy Is this a bug in my version Gens or does the Gens movie recording thing do something stupid when the recording is ended? Should I be complaining the authors or should I be expecting a patch from Jyzero or should I be doing something else? Edit: To be clear, this is a problem because I don't allow movies that don't go to the ending sequence without user intervention. (I can not be babysitting the movie while creating the AVI.)

The Gens movie recording thing does something stupid, methinks. I just rewatched my movie at 8x speed and it pauses, even though it didn't pause in the same session that I recorded it in. I just resubmitted my (now slightly longer) movie which waits until user input no longer matters, and will do the same with my Kid Chameleon run before I submit it.

It's a knonw bug. Fixed in version TEST9. There's one extra frame played where it shouldn't To fix it : in g_ddraw_dummy.cpp in fonction void MoviePlayingStuff() change 
if(FrameCount>MovieLastFrame)
to 
if(FrameCount>=MovieLastFrame)
or 
if(FrameCount>=MovieLastFrame-1)
(I don't remember wich one)

I'll test this. If it makes Altered Beast work, Dan doesn't have to do anything for that then. Edit: It works. So it was a off-by-one problem then! Edit 2: I confused two names.

Oh, in that case, uh, ignore my resubmit for Quackshot. (edit: I'm stupid. I haven't send the Kid Chameleon .gmv yet!)

This is a rather old thread but I coulden't help bumping it since I really need Gens with re-recording for Linux. Bisqwit sent me a copy with movie support. But I was not able to make GMV files with it he said. I'm not a programmer so I won't be able to make my own patches etc. So I hope that someone can make an official Linux version, perhaps compatible with most linux dists?
