Awesome, your handling of stage 1 is near-identical to mine: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GzeC-MdQ ... r_embedded My top score on stage one is 18.6 million IIRC.

Yeah both stages are near-identical ^^
Can i ask you something?
what program you use to record?

[emphatic]

(Command lines)

1. Record ketsui.inp in MAME (mame ket -record ketsui.inp)
2. Playback recording in MAME and output to .avi (mame ket -playback ketsui.inp -aviwrite ketsui.avi)
3. Open ketsui.avi in VirtualDub and use the resize filter to get a 4:3 video

Thank you

I'm saddened by the disappearing shadows, shield, and rotor blades in those videos. This is a bit better (short clip, but long enough for a demonstration).

My crappy DDP C-S 1-All:

Part 1
Part 2

Gonna have to try learning a bit of chaining now, see if I can get into the second loop.

So, how do you achieve this?

Blend the frames. I'm using Avisynth, and have also been testing a slightly different way to do it than the original method I found (faster, uses less memory, same results):

Code: Select all

function BlendFields(clip) {
    clip
    (FrameCount % 2 == 1)  ?  DuplicateFrame(FrameCount - 1)  :  nop
#    Overlay(SelectEven, SelectOdd, opacity=0.5)
    Layer(SelectEven, SelectOdd, op="fast", level=128)
}

For an example AVS script:

Code: Select all

function BlendFields(clip) {
    clip
    (FrameCount % 2 == 1)  ?  DuplicateFrame(FrameCount - 1)  :  nop
#    Overlay(SelectEven, SelectOdd, opacity=0.5)
    Layer(SelectEven, SelectOdd, op="fast", level=128)
}

clip1 = DirectShowSource("Z:\MAME\141b\snap\ketsui.avi", fps=60)
clip1

ConvertToRGB32
trim(6948, 9751)
Lanczos4Resize(500, 718)
AddBorders(390, 1, 390, 1, color=$000000)
BlendFields
ConvertToYV12(matrix="Rec601", interlaced=false)

I use AvsPmod to create the scripts (it's a nice text editor with command completion, video preview, and the like), and MeGUI to automate the encoding and muxing (you could also use MeGUI to create the script). Most builds of x264 can accept AVS scripts as input, and it's entirely possible to join clips with it as well instead of creating one big intermediary file:

Code: Select all

clip1 = DirectShowSource("Z:\Fraps_Videos\th11 2011-03-21 11-51-45-81.avi", fps=60)
clip2 = DirectShowSource("Z:\Fraps_Videos\th11 2011-03-21 11-53-59-83.avi", fps=60)
clip3 = DirectShowSource("Z:\Fraps_Videos\th11 2011-03-21 11-56-04-41.avi", fps=60)
clip4 = DirectShowSource("Z:\Fraps_Videos\th11 2011-03-21 11-58-25-68.avi", fps=60)
clip5 = DirectShowSource("Z:\Fraps_Videos\th11 2011-03-21 12-00-37-13.avi", fps=60)
clip6 = DirectShowSource("Z:\Fraps_Videos\th11 2011-03-21 12-02-50-87.avi", fps=60)
clip7 = DirectShowSource("Z:\Fraps_Videos\th11 2011-03-21 12-04-59-98.avi", fps=60)
clip1 ++ clip2 ++ clip3 ++ clip4 ++ clip5 ++ clip6 ++ clip7

I had recorded my little sister playing novice Daifukkatsu a few months ago... Well, she got me back today.

[Adigun A. Polack]

For me, ever since I have not even uploaded my own brand-new shmup superplays on YouTube in TWO whole years (man, the last I remember was actually uploading my own 1cc of Pleasure Hearts on MSX, to be honest!! ), I am back on in with two all-new superplay videos for you on a couple of rarely-seen shmups, available in 720p HD:

• • Mikkun Fly! [みっくん Fly!] (x680x0 series) — No-Miss Full Completion!!
  │ Running time: 11min., 44sec.
  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJtchCObfIY&hd=1
  
  • Raid Wind (PC-9801) — The No-Miss Domination!!
  │ Running time: 21min., 47sec.
  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EgJXELwPb_s&hd=1

...and it is about mother-fricking time I have made my full-fledged return to YouTube indeed, especially since I LOVE this whole entire shmup community that much, and also because shmups are personally my all-time favorite type of game genre that shall never, ever die period, to be boldly honest!!! !!

And as for the phrase “rarely-seen” as I have said in this post, I am referring to both Mikkun Fly and Raid Wind as both shooting-games that up to now had NOT even had a superplay on YouTube at all whatsoever. That is why as a wholehearted labor of love to you amazing community, I so handsomely present them to you indeed. ENJOY, and there will be many brand-new shmup superplays from me to come as I go along this 2011 and more, I promise you!!! =b

Excellent replay as usual!

1942 looks like one of the hardest shmups ever.

[emphatic]

Finally, the entire 194X series is beaten.

Congrats! Very nicely done. LOL at the continue screen after the final stage. What would happen if you'd chosen yes? Also, what happens if you clear a stage without killing anything? Do you get 0 pts bonus or a secret one?
