Almost there

Well, I did have a new video (which I spent most of the night recording), but I found that during the playback the movie becomes desynchronized and thus all of my work is probably for nothing.

It's not terribly surprising, I had to use a different emulator because the emulator I usually use doesn't support this game, and it looks like this emulator's movie recording is simply buggy.

I'll try the convert one more time in case it was a freak accident, but I suspect this is going to mean no update for at least another week (and this particular game may not be uploaded at all, unless the other emulator decides to support it).


Update:

After re-recording the video 2 more times (my run has substantially improved in the progress), I have managed to record a run that doesn't desync. Unfortunately, my efforts to encode it have so far resulted in severe audio desync. I'm trying a different method now, hopefully it will yield slightly better results.


Yet another update:

Okay, I captured the video using a straight screen capture. This provides much better results, the audio still gets a little slow near the end but it's not by that much and it's probably the best it's going to get.

The problem? Google video is down right now. I'll upload the video when I can.


Final update:

It's finally back. Video is now uploaded.

Here I've listed a handful of games I've considered doing runs for. If you have a particular preference for one of these games, you can vote for it here. There's no guarantee that a game that gets a lot of votes would get done right away, but it might influence me when picking the next game to do.

Should I switch to using Youtube?

I'm just a guy who plays far too many video games. I own an Intellivision, NES, SNES, N64, Playstation, Playstation 2, Gamecube, Dreamcast, Wii, Gameboy, Gameboy Colour, Gameboy Advance, DS, and PSP, as well as far more games than I could count.

I started doing these game runs both as a way to show off and to challenge myself. Mostly the former, though.
