Best... extra life... ever!

Until I can figure out why Fraps won't work in conjunction with Mame, you are left with sitting through this Mame recording:

Need Mame .096b and the romsets for battleg and battlega

To play it back, put vorpfun.inp in /mamedirectory/inp and at the command line type: mame battlega -playback vorpfun

Also I changed a Dip Switch to set it to the Japan version, I'm not sure if that is something you need to do also, or if the recording will do automatically.

To get fraps working, you have to tell mame to use Direct3D.

Landshark, you are the man :D

Sadly Direct3d insists on using hwstretch, and thus I cannot use the -scanlines option. I've always been of the opinion that Garegga looks better with the scanlines, not because it mimics the arcade monitor, but because it has an effect on the overall color of the game. Ah well, I'm just ranting ;p

Anyway, after playing around with resolutions and frame rates I think I finally found an acceptable combination to Fraps this thing with. My computer isn't so hot, so 15fps is what you get, anyhow here's the link:
