I've downloaded the video again and it finishes where it hangs on UAE, so in my opinion the video isn't complete, you can see that if you open it with Windows Media Player. Edit: Toni was right from the start, like always : Last edited by Retrofan; 26 November 2016 at 23:26. |

#1) I just restarted the game and just let it run - you were right with the freezing video, after maybe 30 seconds. it is a cowboy scene with a big gun. it really stops here. but you can push F3 ( insert coins) and F2 to start the sub-games itself. the game does not freeze, it is just the intro sequence which gets stoped after 30+ seconds. the video continues after you push F3 or F2! so ensure you remap the correct keyboard and the correct mouse.

Ace Player says the duration is 27:05
Edit: Yes, I see your edit. But I'm thinking in trying more games, and I wouldn't like that the first one was incomplete like this. |

################## basically you could use any video instead of the game specific video file. ^^^^ that is not true. maybe you have to have a video with the exact length or the specific game video has some special frames which are analyzed by the laserdisk player ?

I want to try Mad Dog. I've got the CD for the Mega-CD if it's useful for the video.

Mega CD version should be a last resort if every other version doesn't work! 16 colours and low resolution.

I think it would be more fitting if the video was in cdxl format, what being an Amiga video format on an Amiga emulator? Or as I mentioned earlier, the mpeg1 full screen standard as what the fmv cd32 cartridge was capable of playing?

#1) btw: some alg service manuals can be found a resource.cx. #2) running the intro-sequence until the video stops, the logfiles lists this as last video event: Code:
16-235 [1457 000=000]: VIDEOGRAB EVENT 0000000E 00000000 00000000 19-488 [1652 000-000]: VIDEOGRAB EVENT 0000000E 00000000 00000000 19-622 [1660 000-000]: VIDEOGRAB EVENT 0000000E 00000000 00000000 57-711 [3942 000-000]: VIDEOGRAB EVENT 00000001 00000000 00000000 #3) how do they do the timing? are there some hidden frames or is it the filelength? i thought we could just use any video file, but this does not work, why not? ==> unMAMEd has some technical details: Quote:

I've asked on the original youtube video about the length, even on that it appears the video cuts off mid scene.
Anyway, I guess finding a usable video for Mad Dog McCree 1 is the next logical step. Here are some potential sources, I'll keep track of what people have and haven't tired. Hopefully there's at least one out there with the exact same video in the exact same order with the exact same timings. - Wii version (gunslinger pack) - PS3 version - MS DOS version - Remastered Windows version - CD-I version - Sega CD version - DVD player version - iOS version - 3DO version |

Ripped the CD-I footage of Mad Dog McCree, it looks like a no-go. Order appears to be wrong so it's unplayable. If anyone wants the footage anyway I can upload to Mega.
Edit: It also seems to have CD-I specific credits in the video, suggesting that they've at least inserted footage.. and FFMPEG threw all sorts of errors converting it, but also in VLC it seems to be very unstable near the end of the video. I'm getting the feeling trying to rip from home conversions will be a waste of time. Edit 2: I'm throwing in the towel.. I thought the 3D0 version might be more suitable, but it appears that they've split the footage into numerous different files (100 or so). Maybe someone else can have more luck ripping video.

Yes, it is purely frame number based. Game tells LD player to seek to frame number x and then play video or show still image. Then it asks LD player for current frame number multiple times per second to keep game logic and video in sync.
Very very simple. |

I dont know if CDTV could of handled it? would of made a lot of difference these games in the catalogue.
Ive not had a chance to try these can the screen be dragged or Amiga Key and M key? just curious - serial port redirected to a text file or something. Still think these games are possible like I say CDXL Screen overlayed with Another screen at the bottom with the score etc. Cough any ideas cough earok..... Also there was an old old Sega Arcade machine game like this might have been VHS I mean really old anyone can remember the name???? Last edited by Retro1234; 27 November 2016 at 09:37. |
