[87Kefka]

[MrPokehead]

how do you add sound

[Alan1a2b3c]

I record a video using Xvid MPEG-4 Codec/ Helix YV12 YUV Codec then I replayed it.

The video's sound is faster than image. Can you suggest another Codec to record gba

[7677876]

So is the .avi the emulator records just a silent video? Or does it record sound as well?

[Mixuss64]

@7677876 Records everything in the emulator including sound :)

[iplaythru]

@7677876 it records sound

[lockerz102]

[USKZ92]

[4everaStone]

@USKZ92 If you're trying to put it on Movie Maker, just leave it Uncompressed.

[haloapa]

I cannot record my own voice into the video i am recording?

[TWFXTwinK]

So I tried recording something twice now with avi recording in my Visual Boy Advance and the result was the first half of the recording is all choppy and generally not good at all. Only the second half of the recording comes in fine. Is there anything I can do to fix that?

[RYOsmiz]

[KawaiiGirl104]

@TheBurntChurro Does it say it at the beginning of the game or when you record the video?

If it's the game, ignore it.

If it's the video, I got nothing for you.

[makosful96]

[UltimateHero13]

Is there some to make it stop lagging & sync the video?

[krat0s9001]

When I save my AVI it sometimes show how long the vid is and most of the time it says 0 byes or something. HELP

[VanillaSkittles9]

What is your most reliable site to get these ROMs?

[PokemonTrainer09]

this guy doesnt even get to the point. hes so annoying

[gmaster2647]

I've got a question about recording through emulators. For some reason, no matter what I use, (even outside recorders like Camstudio or Fraps) the sound desyncs after a certain amount of time has passed. Is there a way to remedy this?

[iCABALi]

use virtualdub, open your raw file in it, go to -> video -> frame rate -> change so video and audio durations match. then save as AVI.

[gmaster2647]

Thanks so much!

[darknumber000]

gmaster, if it gets out of sync, it's because you're using the fast-forwarding button while you're recording.

[asianboy660]

can you post it to youtube??!!

[mjfitz3232]

what verison of camtasia

[mjfitz3232]

how did u record this video though

[mezatome]

stop explaining what u have and get to the point already

[Tom9508]

dude if ur that impatient u should just try to find out urself its actually not that hard, but this guy is showing u how to do this and ur gonna sit there and be a little bitch about it!

[mezatome]

dude im not impatient im just annoyed. i looked up 100 videos on how to do this that day not one of them were clear. now i just happen to come upon this and hes explaining what he has i dont care and if ur actually gonna reply to mine im gonna reply too

[Tom9508]

ha ha im only kidding man i get mad like that too, especially when i think its the right video, and its some retarded shit

[mikemakesguides]

What about video outputs? If you were to connect a camera to a GBA or DS, could you directly record the audio and video to the camera without outside noice/footage?

[iCyrile]

when i record, the file size is like really big. 5 minutes is like 500+ MB. which one should i choose so i can have a recorded video with a small file size?

[pooooke190]

COOL! How do you make the video longer? o.o

[warrior123400]

I'm sorry if you have answered this, but to use an emulator, do you need to hook your gameboy up to the computer? :P I've never been too sure, because I don't know if you need a special cord or something of the sort. xD

[33r1]

can someone help i'm trying to do a pokemon red walk-through but i can record one part(9 mins) then the second parts gets screwed up?

[Bullygat02]

I have the same emulator. LOL

[barriodeloco1]

hey man mines puases while recording please hellp me.

[tomix364]

also my VBA wont run at 100% speed but instead only runs at around 40%. i always have it at normal size like u had it in the video and i always have no other applications open can u please help me!!!

[ACherimoya]

I've been doing some test recordings with VBA, and I'm having a big problem with the audio going out of sync after only about five minutes. By the end of an hour long recording, the audio and video are about three minutes out of sync! It seems to happen no matter what codec I use to record, even with uncompressed.

Also, VBA doesn't like to record AVIs larger than 4 gigs, which is something to watch out for if you're recording uncompressed.

[tomix364]

u are not the only one with that problem! i have videos that i have recorded that are AVI from VBA and the also go out of sync. if u see my videos on youtube u will see how bad it is

[UltiMario1337]

Can someone PLEASE help?

Ok, I made a video. If I just upload it to youtube without doing anything, It takes over an hour to process before the upload.. If I put it in windows movie maker, it processes fine, but it saves as a file type that youtube doesn't accept.

So, how do you change filetype in windows movie maker? I've tried EVERYTHING. Thanks in advance.

[CrappyCaptureDevice]

In Windows Movie Maker, be sure to select "Publish to Computer" or "Save to Computer" or something worded like that. It's one of the last options on the left side of the screen.

Then you'll be given a few options. I don't know what version of Windows Movie Maker you are using, so I can't tell you exactly what format to use, but I can say that some of them are low-bitrate WMVs that rip the guts out of your video quality, so set it to something with a higher bitrate and see how it goes.

[UltiMario1337]

Thank you so much.

[mariosunshinefaan]

@UltiMario1337 or download formatfactory. formatozDOTcom. convert it to AVI or something

[jamchaos]

whenever i record the sound does not fit with the video can anyone help?

[Valientlink]

Well, I use Hypercam for my games, but stopping AVI recording where the sound usually goes out of sync, and immediately starting again, will make another AVI and the sound will resync. Put the clips in movie maker and save. It may have a pause where you stopped recording but it's VERY minor.

[VulpixFlame]

Thanks! :) 5/5

I used a video coverter and it worked great!

[VideoGameMaster25]

i have a problem with vba

[HighDefCam]

[TLoZNarutofan]

I tried this with bomberman on an NES emulator and when I uplaoded it, it was really realy blury.

[SpiralEnigmal]

But how do you stop sound De-Synch?

[XAlpha93]

Which codec do you use for record with VBA?

[TAFHUC]

[rushmonio2b2k]

new flash FILES ARE INFECTED

[CrappyCaptureDevice]

What the hell are you talking about? WHAT files?

I'm sure if you had a reason supporting your argument, you would have posted it after reading my counterargument, right? :P

[rushmonio2b2k]

sigh... lets forget about thuis ok?

[TheGuyThatFailsAlot]

@rushmonio2b2k wow no files infected for me

[rushmonio2b2k]

@TheGuyThatFailsAlot i just got this last month. Yea i posted that comment back when i was OCD about downloads.

[rushmonio2b2k]

and im doing a rant about downloads soon

[james95dragonfire]

how do i get to download theses i download them and they wont come up im using WinZip can anyone help me....

[CrappyCaptureDevice]

Are the files in .rar format?

[rushmonio2b2k]

not buying you a new computer

[CrappyCaptureDevice]

What are talking about?

[rushmonio2b2k]

i dont believe in downloads

[CrappyCaptureDevice]

What, you think an FBI swat team is gonna bust into your house, shoot your dog, fuck up everything in the house, and handcuff your family before taking your computer away?

No one pays attention or cares about ROM downloads (other than the developers), because it's not the RIAA or MPAA.

It's not about getting games free. Sometimes, games can only be acquired via a ROM because they either haven't been released in certain areas or are really old, hard to find and not on the Wii Virtual Console.

[rushmonio2b2k]

no i dont think that. i think an idiot will put spam on the file, so it spreads to my comp, then another, and repeats until the internet is 100% deactivated in the U.S, we abuse it more than use it. you're just lucky yahoo has that virus detector. Btw, great vids.

[CrappyCaptureDevice]

Thanks for the compliment.

Now, about "spam", which I guess you mean viruses and worms.

First of all, ROMs are almost always downloaded in .RAR format, which contain no executable code to be infected. The ROM would have to be infected (which I don't think is even possible) before it is compressed in the .RAR format. And the people that dump ROMS certainly aren't going to ruin their own work by doing that. Even if that was the case, it would get taken down VERY quickly.

[CrappyCaptureDevice]

Second, viruses are usually spread by e-mail and downloading infected files. They aren't just going to spontaneously spread from one computer to another unless a connection is established.

Third, THERE IS NO WAY IN HELL the Internet can be "100% deactivated". And why do you think it will only be deactivated in the U.S.? The Internet is GLOBAL. Look at me, I'm typing this in Japan right now. It's just as easy to connect to a computer anywhere in the world as it is to connect to one in the US.

[CrappyCaptureDevice]

My point is that it's NEXT TO IMPOSSIBLE to get any type of malicious code in your computer from downloading a ROM. And even if your theory of the Internet being "deactivated" was true, EVERY COMPUTER ACROSS THE ENTIRE WORLD would have to be PERMANENTLY DAMAGED...from you downloading a Super Nintendo game. Does that sound plausible?

Now, I'm not trying to be mean here, I'm just saying that ROMs are a lot safer than what you think they are.

[rushmonio2b2k]

yea, none of us know who the mother 3 hackers are, so what if one noob thought it was funny to slap a trojan to the translation patch?

[CrappyCaptureDevice]

Wow, that's kind of insulting to those that put long hard hours into working on the translation patch.

Of course nobody personally knows the people that worked on the translation. I do know that the patch was downloaded over 30,000 times and that it's currently being translated into other languages, not to mention still being downloaded. One person that worked on it is also a professional translator. Do you really think that one of them put malicious code into the hack?

[CrappyCaptureDevice]

Also, let me break something down. ROMs have no executable code, just like MP3 files and videos. If MP3s could be infected, filesharing would have stopped in the infant stages of Napster. ROMs are no exception.

Now, with that being said, it's the emulator that runs on the computer and interacts with the user according to what it reads in a ROM file. All emulators I've used are stand-alone programs. So the ROM would have to somehow infect the emulator which would in turn attack the system.

[CrappyCaptureDevice]

Attacking the system would be pretty hard if the program is stand-alone, meaning it has nothing in system directories or the registry.

Your argument is basically the equivalent of saying it's dangerous to download music because one infected song (which is impossible, NO EXECUTABLE CODE) might infect iTunes which might in turn attack the computer it's running on.

You're the first person I've met that's ever argued against downloading ROMs because of paranoia of viruses, trojans and worms. :-/

[NintendoFanBoy305]

@CrappyCaptureDevice

the videos I make with the emulator lags (sound is slower and goes after the action itself)

[TheGuyThatFailsAlot]

@NintendoFanBoy305 it happend to me with my other computer just delete some useless stuff on your computer and your done :) (I know this was 5months ago but.....)

[DarkLink9393]

Hey, CCD. Where'd you get your Mother 3 ROM?

[CrappyCaptureDevice]

Since I can't post URLs...

Google search "Frozen Roms" and go the second result. It should have "Neuigkeiten" in the title and be a ".in" domain. That is where I get my GBA and NDS ROMs.

[DarkLink9393]

Thanks. I'll be sure to do that later.

[pfaccioxx]

no ofinse but that vidio could pobobly have bin sipler, shorter, and easyer to understand if you had rehused what you were going to do in the vidio more. (but i do think i got the basic jist of it)

[CrappyCaptureDevice]

Didn't have time to rehearse the "vidio" to make it "sipler" and "easyer" to understand because I was too busy preparing for a four month trip. You're lucky I had time to even post it at all.

And what I did in the video is what I do every time.

[pfaccioxx]

ok, I can understand that. I was just saying that I fond it heard to understand at some points. and the most of the computers that I have acsis to (I don't have my own persanel 1 yet) are slow and that it takes a wile for thim to compitly load a 12 minite vidio!

[CrappyCaptureDevice]

Yeah, I figured out how to do all of this stuff on my own and it took awhile, so I can see why you would say that.

Video processing is one of the most, if not THE most CPU-intensive processes one can put their computer through. It's not like saving a text file. It always takes a long time so save videos. Hell, when I was processing video, I would start it right before I went to bed, or right before I went out shopping or to the bar or something, so when I came back, it would be finished.

[pfaccioxx]

wow it seresly takes that long!?

[SuperCaptureDevice]

What happens when the emulator doesn't agree wit you?

[CrappyCaptureDevice]

What do you mean?

[SuperCaptureDevice]

I mean when it doesn't translate properly

[gmaster2647]

Your wallpaper totally freaks me out, man.

[jiob8]

How do you install visualboy avance, with the game?

[13timmy30]

u know that emulators are illegal.

[Sparkxie]

It's not if you have the original cartridge.. -_-'

[Max1234qwert]

So is your mom :D

[CrappyCaptureDevice]

Already addressed that in the video description in one of the videos in this mini-series. Not to mention that I also talked about it in the first video. (The one on FCE Ultra.)

[AWSOMEDUDE5000]

emulaters aint illegal idiot

[pokefan234]

No. It is actually the ROMs that are illegal.

[AWSOMEDUDE5000]

ROMs arent illegal eather

[khianidude]

Which is kinda ironic, cause who the hell cares if you downloaded and played a Hit-selling game for free and that game stopped selling years ago? lol People need to use common sense

[nerd2max]

Very true. I have only downloaded games that aren't being made anymore

[KeijiDragon]

I feel this is especially true if you use emulators to play prototypes of games.

[GoldenEpicLegendary]

So try that's why my friend doesn't wanna play legend of zelda OOT for n64 he says its been made 13 years ago I was like dude it doesn't matter. -_-

[KeijiDragon]

Huh?

[GoldenEpicLegendary]

I was talking about your comment, the one where you were agreeing with this person for saying people need to use common sense, because, they would say they will not play a super awesome game because it stoped selling out years ago.

[Smashkid86]

ROMS are illegal idiot

[CrappyCaptureDevice]

Depends on what country you live in.

[pfaccioxx]

what about canada?

is it iligel there?

[LoPuFi]

its illegal in everywhere,but no one cares bcsxe the real crime is paying a lot for a simple fcking game

[Stark1ller]

Do you know how to increase the recording resolution? If I record a GB game, the video resolution is 160x144, the GB's native resolution. That's too low.

[CrappyCaptureDevice]

That's the whole point of the video on processing emulator-recorded videos using VirtualDub, 4/4 in this series. Increasing the resolution from it's native resolution while recording isn't going to do you much good anyway.

[Eyedunno]

If I remember correctly, his name is リュカ. It's a silent "s", I think. You can get it to put his name in for you by selecting おまかせ on the bottom left.

[Sparkxie]

And it's pronounced

"Lucah"

[pokefan234]

No, it's pronounced "Ryuka"

[CrappyCaptureDevice]

Heh, well, I've never seen the offical katakana for Lucas's name. I just entered the katakana for how I pronounce it - Lucas, with an "s".

I find it bizzare that his name is "Ryuka" (リュカ) instead of "Rukasu" (ルカス） or "Ruukasu" (ルーカス）.

[xin3000]

:( its not loading for me

[xFireWolfxx]

sry i didnt watch the whole video.

[xFireWolfxx]

wait, where did you get Sealed Sword?

[pokefan234]

Google is your friend.

[WaterAdept6]

Useful... Totally, I needed some help with this.
