Zsnexbox 3.5

I gotta say that I'm damn near Monkish in my XBox obsession, but for 95% of the time emumovies are absolutley fine and I think you guys are blowing this all out of proportion a bit.  

Even though I just download them and then converted, I did convert more than 250 of them, one at a time by hand before Horscht made the batch for me, so don't kid yourself that I didn't do a lot of work even though I haven't actually physically created a video from scratch.  I'd just turn around and release them, but then nobody would fill in the blanks.  Sorry to keep them hostage, but that's the only way things ever get done in a community where everyone's work is done for free at the benefit of people who for the most part do nothing but download and then bitch in the forums when something doesn't work that the free product should be better.  (I'm talking about the noob posters who are too bothered to read the answer thread and come right in here and bitch about an emu for whatever reason.  I'm not talking about anybody posting on this thread here)

Between that work and my testing and decloning, making full artwork packs to release in the future and trying to rally the troops around here, I just don't have time to make even the missing videos, let alone replace any of the emumovies that are perfectly fine.

I know nobody was talking ill of me or what I've provided here, but some of the tone in the last day has seemed a bit ungreatful and I would appreciate that if you toned it down some.  I'm busting my own balls here to bring all of this to you and to make sure there aren't mistakes the first time around.

You're more than welcome to make your own movies to provide for SNES and other emus in the future.  In that case we need nearly 700 redone for the SNES, over 1,000 for Genesis/Sega CD/32x, 90 or for Atari Lynx, and probalby a few hundered for TG-16.   And that's just the emus we have video previews for so far.....

I'm not yelling, I'm just trying to keep it in perspective.  I don't have the next 5 years of my life to make every little video perfect and my OCD, although crippling at times, is not going to force me to redo a bunch of videos that are already done because they're not shot with the professionalism of Olliver Stone.

I do agree that in many cases that Horscht's videos are better than emumovies, but 9 out of 10 times emumovies aren't as bad as some are saying here, and are perfectly fine given the short use that they're all actually REALLY going to get in real life.  Just don't watch Adventures of Rockey and Bullwinkle's vid on loop, and only your most intuitive and observant friends would even notice.

Just an observation NES...

Any new games I try on my original install of 3.4 do not work.  All of the old games do.  I can rename an old working game to something else and try to load it and it will freeze the XBox.

I couldn't say for sure, but I'm starting to think there is a limit of games that you can play with the emu before any new additions will lock up the system.  Could just be a problem of mine though.  

I'm using my other XBox with 3.5 installed to finish testing the remaining roms and getting the artwork all set.

Rez you're doing a great job!  Although I have comments for the preview company it has nothing to do with you and your efforts.  If I comment saying "you" it's directed towards those who haven't made anything for the project.  As in You all need to make a preview for the Project.  You all being everyone who hasn't made any yet.

I'm not asking you to do anything Rez, you're doing everything already.  (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I always try to put my money where my mouth is, I complained about the previews but I didn't just gripe about it I tried my best to make an alternative which is all I'm asking from us is to pitch in and make a few.  Not asking Rez to do anything extra.  Sorry if I made ya feel bad bro, I understand how hard you're working and apologize for any disrespect in my tone.  It wasn't targeted towards you.

I know you didn't mean nothing by it Sotu, that's why I said that in the last post, I know things translate badly over the internet a lot, especially when a lot of us are from different countries.  It just kinda sucks hearing anybody knocking on your work, even indirectly.  

I really do appreciate your efforts though, and I sifted through your posted vids and pulled out roms that you made that were'nt already US roms and I grabbed the Boxart, Titleshots, and Actionshots for the pack I'm releasing too.  I figured if it was good enough for you to go to the trouble of making a video for, it was good enough for my final Extra's release.  (Please though... if you help with vids on other emus in the future, which I REALLY hope you do, zip them up to megaupload.  It was so hard sorting through your videos the second time when you uploaded more because I changed a lot of the game names to the American translation and I couldn't tell if I downloaded a lot of the videos or not already.  It probably added about 3 hours to my work)

I'm cool with more vids being made.  If somebody came out with a pack of better vids once ya'all are matched up with my romnames for the extra's pack I would download it and replace videos in a second.  Again, if someobdy actually goes to the effort to do it, it must be better than what was previously available.  

I'd love to have all of these available for download somewhere someday in a fashion where they can be edited out like that for everyone to enjoy, but I'm pretty poor so I can't host a service like that.  That's why I'm waiting so long to make the final release.  I want it perfect before it goes out.  

If you got more vids, upload them on megashare now and I'll grab the artwork for the games too.  Times running out to make the release.  I'm nearly satisfied there is no bugs in the pack.  

And no worries, I'm not mad or nothing....  Just was suprised to see the negativity today based off my comment.  Rocky and Bullwinkle is probably the worst video I've seen, but a lot of them don't play that way.  I like a lot of the previews and am just happy to have them on there.   Thanks to NES and madmab for their current and future releases, and for Gilles for showing us how awesome NES's new dual view ability is and inspiring some of us to make more skins for it.

I'm glad to be a part of the team,
~Rx

I wouldn't worry or frett about any of the comments about emu-movies.  After all I just consider them observations.  In my case I felt strongly enough about the A800 ones to redo them all.  But like you said a good portion of them are just fine.

I'd say convert them all and then let people worry about "fixing" any of the inadequate ones.  With such a large project it's hard to get too detailed without it ending up taking forever.  I just hate seeng what I know is a good game not look so good because of a poorly done preview.  (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Yeah... that's what I'm doing madmab....

After the rest of the missing vids get created, I'm giving everyone 1 week to make any changes or add new videos/games, then I'm going to release everything.

If you don't mind, send me your vids you made and I'll replace the ones I have with them.

Well luckily there is no need to worry about atarixlbox movies just yet.  It may be a week or two before I can released a preview capable version.  But I may just wait to see what nes6502 comes up with on the screenshot/preview on same screen.

We'll work on it though.

Hi nes,

Is there any chance we can get the number of skins that we can have increased from 16?  (16 is the limit I've seen stated in the forums, I haven't tried it yet)

So far I've put together a collection of about 40 great skins made by members above and beyond the standard skins.  Most of that without even having HD versions.   Having a limitless amount of skins or a cap of around 50-100 would be ideal.  I'm not sure if you have your reasons for capping it at 16.

Thanks,
~Rx

Is anyone having problems with cheat codes. I tried to enter in some Pro Action Replay Cheats for Secret Of Mana (U) and they won't do a thing. Nothing changes. To test, I took the same rom and loaded it up on Windows XP using the lastest ZsnesW and use the same cheat codes and the codes worked just fine. Maybe I am doing something wrong. I was editing the PAR file manually since I saw no on screen input option.
