Disabling Nestopia & BSNES Emulator Messages?

zweitplatzierungsboy

Hi,

I'd like to record some gameplay footage of classic Nintendo games using Nestopia (1.4.1) and BSNES (0.5.0), but one thing that is bothering me is, that I can't turn off those white message-boxes after doing something like Frosting/Defrosting savestates, Rewinding or simply Resetting Emulation.

At least I couldn't find something in the Preferences. If anybody has a clue, I'd really appreciate it.

If anyone's interested, I've recieved an email from Richard, saying that "There's no way to do that at the moment though 'll add it as an option in the next update."

Thanks for replying so quickly, that's excellent! :)

Thanks for posting that, I was watching this to see if anyone had a response. I've been interested in gameplay screen savers / animated desktop for a while. High resolution videos might be the way to go, and this means I'm one step closer. Thanks.

I've recieved another reply from Richard last night:

Aargh, and when I looked this up, I realised that I'd done so years ago when someone else asked... it's in the current release.

You need to use a text editor to modify the preferences file (com.bannister.emulator.plist) - and change the value Core::Video::DisplayPlacards to no instead of yes.

I am SO text clipping this tip. Having those blocks remain onscreen like that in the heat of battle can kill you (and has for me).

I wouldn't mind truncated boxes much though - such as "F" for Freeze, "D" for Defrost, etc. But I'm not gonna bug Richard about that when I have a tip to disable them completely already. I wish he could figure out why GCC4.4 doesn't like his OS setup. Sure would make life a lot easier for him if he could overcome that hurdle.
