Input Recording

Guest · Posted: Mon Jul 04, 2005 9:31 pm Post subject: Input Recording

First of all thanks for your great emulator Wink

.
There are several emulators around for other 8-bit computers which include an option to record in a file the Keyboard/Joystick input so we can for example record the playing of a game from the beginning to the end, allowing everyone to see it. Have you considered including this Feature?
It would be nice before people start forgetting how to finish this or that game(in case they already didn't Wink

for spectrum you can see it at: www.rzxarchive.co.uk
for Commodore 64: www.c64-longplays.de.vu

Thx.

Thanks for your appreciation of the emulator ! Very Happy

We have indeed a long list of features to add in the future versions.

Your idea seems very interesting, especially for "puzzle" games or 'adventure' games.

Another option is to save on a video file the evolution of the game, so you can show to your friends what you have made in a difficult part of a game !

Well, the thing is that with a Video file, the size will be really big Shocked

, compared to a tiny input recording file. And that might be a problem when spreading the longplays. Please, place it in your "maybe in the future" to-do list if you don't mind Rolling Eyes

Thx
