retrorussell Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Hey all. Got the (newest) emulator Kega Fusion and it plays SMS games just great. However.. its recording process has the colors smeared all over the screen sometimes in some games. As in, it plays fine but if you record it and play back the video it looks funky. Examples: Maybe certain colors the emulator has trouble with; I'm not sure. I'm kind of muddling through for now since there's only 3 more games I want to do videos of. The emulator Gems I've tried too but that doesn't seem to do SMS games. Anyone have any recommendations for other emulators or bug fixes? Thanks!

+-^CrossBow^- Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Not sure how you are recording of what you are using exactly. But I just use OSB for most of my recordings from my PC if I need to go that route. Like if I stream or record something I'm playing in DOSBox as an example. While I've not really tried to record anything from Kega Fusion, I can't imagine it would be any different than anything else I've recorded using OSB.

While I've not really tried to record anything from Kega Fusion, I can't imagine it would be any different than anything else I've recorded using OSB. This is through the internal recorder from Kega Fusion (Video/Log AVI File). Whether you play it back immediately as a rather large file or scrunch it down with a compression program (like Format Factory) it has that "smeared color" look sometimes. Maybe it depends on the game's color scheme? I could use Bandicam to record instead but that would capture all sorts of blurbs on the screen I don't want it to ("Power On", framerate, etc.). Thanks for the advice; I will keep that in mind! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DragonGrafx-16 Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 It might be good to turn off any filters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DragonGrafx-16 Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 It should be in video settings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was able to play Bubble Bobble okay, but I tried one of the ones that gave me real trouble (Sonic The Hedgehog), and it happened again after awhile. Oh well.

DragonGrafx-16 Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 I would just try a different screen recorder. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retrorussell Posted April 1, 2021 Author Share Posted April 1, 2021 Yeah, that's got to be the only solution. But fortunately I'm almost done with my Sega Master System videos. Thanks for all the suggestions! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogerpoco Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Super-likely unrelated, Man, but I recently had an issue on Dark Cavern(Atari 2600) on EMU when I recorded a vid with my old reliable, OBS, only half the spiders legs were showing up on the playback. I didn't completely wrap my ears around it, but my Friends explained that there had to be programming tricks, the spiders legs flickered from left to right so fast that the naked eye can't(really)see it(it's noticable, after you know), but the camera can, it's actually "seeing" things a bit differently than we are. I "get it", tho I don't really understand, but it was interesting to at least realize, I suppose. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+TwentySixHundred Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 OBS is the best for free software and should capture SMS no worries. To minimize any issues from frame flicker, record the video at 60 frames so it captures all the frames. This will eliminate issues with missing sprites like Roger was talking about. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
