output problem :(

RickyC · 19 February 2007, 14:17

I used to record my games using winUAEs output function on my old laptop, however im getting loads of slowdown if i try on my new one.

New specs are
intel(R) core(TM)2 CPU T5500 @ 1.66GHz 1.67GHz
2024MB of RAM
NVIDIA GeForce Go 7300
on vista home primium

Im pretty sure its because winUAE is only using one of my CPUs, is there anyway to get it to use both of them?

Or if failing that is there another way to record the game? fraps doesn't seem to notice winuae or any of my games for that matter, quick screen recorder only records decent frames if winuae is in a very small window, which i dont understand because im getting no slowdown while playing.

Any help please

1: Use game's native resolution (usually lores, no doubling, ~320x256, bigger if overscan)
2: Use codec that is meant for real-time compression (instead of some mpeg4 codec for example..)
3: enable null filter without adjusting position/size settings

There is no support for multiple CPUs (or cores) yet but compression may be moved to separate thread in future.

Thanks for reply

Trying all that the best i can get is 15fps

this using XviD codec, the rest are slower still. Dont think its going to happen with this output thang.

Wow fixeds problem. Was vista. XP giving me 50fps when recording now

Not too surprising with "quality" of current Vista display and sound drivers..

Hi all, anyone please wanna share their codec settings for recording Winuae output?

Many thanks!

I use games native res and no compression on audio or video :shock

It's the only way!

DDNI · 16 July 2008, 23:35

ta bippy, tried that and I am getting 2GB file sizes in about 10 secs!

BippyM · 16 July 2008, 23:36

err.. yup

I then encode to a compressed format after or convert to dvd with as little quality loss as possible

Thank the lord for h264/x264 haha
