MAME + tile saving edition - Page 2

zambot3 · 12 December 2020, 19:10

How can I save frame to frame for make an animation?

hitchhikr · 23 December 2020, 00:51

I don't think you can, unless you use some external tools like fraps or kkapture.

zambot3 · 09 April 2021, 12:49

The program stops when you have to click OK to start the game. It's weird ... it always worked before.

zambot3 · 13 July 2021, 18:00

Don't works with Win10!

hitchhikr · 15 July 2021, 02:03

Yeah i noticed it doesn't work on Windows 10, i don't know why.
Someone contacted me and want to adapt my modifications to the latest version of Mame.
Wait & see.

I wrote something similar for MAME a few years back. It allows you to save the palette data and write all the tile data to PNG files. It does generate one large image per palette so it can get a little unwieldy on large tilesets.

If anyone is intereseted I can update it to the latest version of MAME so there shouldn't be any issues with Windows 10.

Great, now to find a site to get ROMS which are compatible with the latest MAME.

Sorry for the delay, haven't had much time to look at this recently and then the MAME code has changed again since I last looked at this so it had to be updatde.

Here's a link to a Windows 64-bit build of mame.
https://mega.nz/file/PTIUhJbT#XVHRPL...PoqohawaDBSVEg

To save from this, use F4 to get to the viewer, then press F12 to save the data for the current display. It will save the palette, tilesets and even the tilemap views. The data is saved to a gfxsave/<romname> folder within the mame folder.

I have not done any extensive testing with this version, so if there's any problems then let me know.

Attached are a couple of example files from commando.

Hello,

Would you mind releasing the source code ?
And if possible, explanations about your changes ?

Thanks in advance.

dlfrsilver · 17 October 2021, 09:59

@Deedolith, what do you exactly want to know ?

Deedolith · 17 October 2021, 22:53

Pure developper curiosity.

As for the source code, it will be usefull to integrate this feature into future custom mame releases.

I'm not sure they want to do that.
