hey, i got some new gameplay videos uploaded to youtube if you wanna check them out.

Nice, I'm always busy with work. I'll talk to you on there when I can. =] Thanks!

I don’t think you need to worry about your laptop wearing out. Even if you are consistently running your processor(s) at 100% as long as you keep it cool, it should be fine. In most cases, the last thing to stop working on any system would be the processor.

Anyway, your laptop should really be able to run both applications fine. Initially, I thought your processor would be the problem but you’re running a dual core processor with 2 gig of ram so it should be fine…

I can’t say if the advice I'm about to give you will help, but I haven’t used Camstudio for almost 2 years and when I did it was only once or twice. Hopefully it will reduce the lag a little bit though.

- Change setting too: Capture Frames every 33 Milliseconds, Playback Rate 20 Frames/seconds. Remember to untick Auto Adjust as well.

- You mentioned it lagged less while you were running the DivX Codec? It may be a codec problem so test out all the codecs you have. As I recall, the Lossless codec provided by Camstudio worked well for me.

- You may also want to lower the “Set keyframes” to 20 if the above settings don’t have any affect.

This is all I can think of really. Sorry I couldn’t be of more help. Hopefully you will see some difference though, good luck!

I can try.

What program are you using to record? Something like fraps encodes in real time meaning it requires a lot of processing power to keep going. Fraps itself is very system dependent

The reason you probably experience lag while recording your PSX game is because it takes up more CPU power than the Sega games. Running the game alongside a recorder takes up even more CPU power hence the lag. If you can post me your processor speed (Right click my computer > Properties > Click the General tab) I could give you some more suited advice. Also, can you tell me the fps rate of the game before & after you start recording + the settings you have on the recorder itself.

Here are a few things you can try in the meantime.

- From my experiences, I have found that even when it lags while recording sometimes the videos come out alright. Record a bit and see what it’s like.

- Depending on which program you use, try lowering your screen resolution or in game details. It could help save some processing power so there is less lag. Try to keep your game & screen resolution the same.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any more questions

Hey Gypys you on right now? If so can you send Jonathanx221 (or something like that) an invite to MSNer's of TFF. He wanted to join, so I explained were he could find it, in the social groups. Then I forgot that you had to be invited.

oh, ok i think i'll do that starting now, *poof* you can't see me!

can i join your TFF ninja group?

You should check out my Stuff album again, i took some game rom screenshots and some of them I edited.

oh, that explains it haha. kinda threw me off there.

Never fought Nemesis though I did know you could get Super Nova from it as well. I just don't have the patience to complete games; I tend to do quite a bit of the side stuff but eventually I get the drive to beat the game. Then I go on to the next RPG that I need to play. But thanks Steward of Knowledge.

last night when I was telling you about the lets play videos i was watching, you said maybe you'll get that game instead, were you referring to the Ys games on the DS i was talking about?

WOW, you really invested a lot of time into that game. Thank goodness for the Omega Ruins... Seriously though, I imagine you're unstoppable by now. xD And SO MANY of my hours went towards Blitzball too, I really enjoyed that mini-game. @_@

Just keep it fed and there won't be any problem. xD

Sure, I'll be your sugar daddy.

Lol same, and it can be hard to find the courage to unpause it sometimes. xD
Honestly I enjoy watching people play games as much as I enjoy playing them. Especially RPGs! And I agree, even though I'm usually the person playing Metal Gear, they're still fun to watch. Also because when I'm playing, I'm extremely careful and can take forever trying not to be spotted, while my brothers just charge into everything, so watching them is interesting to say the least. =P
You should definitely make an LP! And commentary can help (and be amusing at times), I usually enjoy them. Are there any games you'd be wanting to make an LP of in specific?

Cheetahs too? D:
