So it is possible to have a stand alone 4x movie without Dreamon. Using GINSU to play the vid the same way Sega smashpack plays a game after loading the emu.
Code: Select all
[GINSU]
Ginsu.FirstApp = VID
Ginsu.DefaultApp = GINRESET
#Ginsu.DefaultApp = GINRESET
Ginsu.XferExecutable = \GINXFER.BIN
[GINBOOT]
Ginsu.Path = \
Ginsu.Command = \1ST_READ.BIN
[GINRESET]
Ginsu.Path = \
Ginsu.Command = \GINRESET.BIN
[VID]
Ginsu.Path = \
Ginsu.Command = "\4XMPLAY.BIN VID.4Xm"
If you change Ginsu.DefaultApp from GINRESET to VID it will loop the movie forever.
This method also works with PLAYVID and SFD’s.
The only dependencies 4XMPLAY.BIN needs is 4XLOGO.PVR and AUDIO64.DRV
I found for the best quality video keep the source vid encoding as close to the original as possible and let the 4x encoder stomp on it after.
You guys are Rockstars! Glad I finally got to check this out! Very cool tech!
Here is a small vid for proof of concept:
