====================================================================== GPU Player v2.0 (October, 16th 2003.) by Matesic Darko ====================================================================== e-mail: darkman@eunet.yu 1) About --------- This is a program for playing REC files created by gpuRecorder while using it with psx emulator. 2) Usage --------- Copy gpuPlayer.exe into a directory with some plugins. When starting it for the first time enter options to configure it (either by pressing O or through menu View->Options). Now you can play recorded files by clicking Ctrl+O (or through menu File->Open) and selecting a *.REC file. Seeking is possible only with new version of REC. 3) Options ---------- - Video plugin: choose your gpu for playback - Sound plugin: choose your spu for playback - enable sound playback: uncheck this if you don't want sound plyback in files that have sound data - show time/frames: choose type of info in the bottom of the player window - replay when done: start playback from begining when reached the end 4) Rebuild ---------- - source file: your recorded file (when you select proper REC file some info will be displayed in lower left part of dialog) - destination file: your new (will be) rebuilded file - destination file settings: - compression: you never heard of ZIP? - block size: minimum size of data to be compressed - rebuild sound data: uncheck this if you don't want any sound data in new file 5) Additional Info ------------------ - I tried compression with some files and never saw difference beetwen zlib default and best compression - bzip too slow (compression and decompression wich slows down playback) - don't choose bit block size, playback may be choppy because more data must be decompressed in one read - seeking is not perfect and it will never be perfect, can cause garbage and alse sound errors - enabling / disabling sounds is not perfect, can cause sound errors 6) Version history ------------------- October, 16th 2003. Version 2.0 ------------------------------- - new gui - sound playback (if it was recorded) - old and new files can be rebuilded - seeking is possible - snapshot is possible August, 4th 2002.
