Feature request.....Replay file support

Postby isamu » Fri Jul 02, 2021 12:57 am

Hi guys. I hope you don't mind but I just wanted to make a small feature request for the emulator....if it's possible, can you please add the ability to record controller inputs and have an option to play them back in a "replay" file? This is a cool feature that's been in MAME, Final Burn Alpha, and other emulators.

It basically means that when you play a game, the emulator records the inputs of your joystick, wheel, or whatever controller you're using, and upon playing back the input file, you can basically watch a replay of your game! In addition, input files are incredibly tiny(a few kilobyts), so that would potentially open the door up to us in the community, for possibly being able to share files with each other and watch each other's gameplay from within the emulator!

What do you think Bart? Can you add this feature my friend?

Just my two cents but I don't think replays would work by just recording inputs...you'd have to make the game play itself with those inputs like a demo mode or something. Or put a video recorder inside supermodel to record the whole thing while it's being played. I don't think this is gonna be made anytime soon, given the emu got a GUI only recently :roll:
