Hello Pplz,

before i ask my questions i want to apologize, some equal questions for sure already have been asked and answered. But at pressent my time is a little rare so i hope some of you will help me although. (Would be enough to link me to releated topics, and "yes" i already used the Board Search :D)

1. The SC is working with the "GBA Movie Player version 2" and the conversion Software "Version 1.3".  Is there a possibility to improve the quality by using manual settings in the conversion software? And if so, what settings are these. I think there are at least 2 types of settings, one for Animation and another for Live-Action. Or does that depends to much on the source Video to have a common setting?

2. Does it make Sense to use any external Emus on the SC? I tryed SNES Advance but got no title working. :( It's not that important, but are there any snes games working via SNES Advance through SC (with minor or no slowdown)? I've already read a little about that topic in the Forum but was not able to figure out if there are any working games for this Emu on SC?!?

And how about PCEAdvance? Have the converted Roms minor slowdowns than the ones using the SC integrated Emu? It's not to hard to Imagine that a handheld with barely the double cpu core tact can't handle those games very well. So i hope some of you can give me a few suggestions what is worth trying and what's not.

For example, i realy love the ported "Another World" GBA version. Are there more such great Projekts out there? And if so, where can i find them? My SC is still new to me and even i'm not to lazy to read, as far my english isn't the best, i dont't wanna waste time on irelevant topics.

If you came this far *thx* for reading! :D
Hope u share some interesting information.  :idea:

regards Akechi

I usually use manual settings for video conversion.  However, I just don't like how it take so long to convert videos.  Anime is pretty fast but the quality isn't too great.  And when it comes to live action, it takes FOREVER!  So I pretty much given up on video for the SC.  I ordered a Play Yan to play movies and MP3's.  

Eventough the SNES was my favourite system, I never bothered to try SNESAdvance because of no sound.  You couldn't get it working?  Did you run  the .GBA file that was created by SNESAdvance through the SuperCard patcher before loading it?

I played some PCE games using the builtin emulator but there was some slow down with sound enabled.  I was never a fan of the TG16/PCE so I just didn't care.

NES games play perfectly so I'm happy.  I play NES games more than GBA games these days.  My favourites are Bubble Bobble, Megaman 2 and Galaga!!  hehe
