bjk7382 Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 bjk7382, Did you ever look into getting that tape converted to the PC?Maybe you could break it up into 4 parts? Would be very interested in seeing that. Well I tried to capture it with my video card and the quality was horrible from the tape. So I guess I am going to have to try to play it on an emulator and beat it again. I have beat the game 3 times now so it isn't a problem beating it, it is just capturing it. (never recorded anything with z26 or pcae) I will play around with it and see what I can come up with.

Adrian M Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 Any progress on getting a taped play through of Thrust+? I don't want to see the ending, just to observe how you negotiate out of certain areas with the pod attached.

Well the emulator is a dead end, there is no way I can beat it on the choppy pcae. So I guess I am going to try to get a head cleaner for my vcr, and get a good brand tape so I can get a quality recording to capture with my tv card. If anyone has any other ideas on how I could get this video from my 2600 into my computer, it would be greatly appreciated.

bjk7382 Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 Okay, I have the video! But there are a couple problems that I face now. The mpeg file is HUGE, it is 606 meg! And I had my brother copy it, and he only put it in one movie file. The reason it is so big is because it was being copied from a VHS tape and the quality had to be on the best possible. The quality of the movie file is still suppar, but very watchable, considering it came from a crappy vhs recorder. I think I am going to need to get a movie splitter anyway because the final screen is still in the movie. I don't think Thomas wants me sharing the final screen. If it dosn't matter I will leave it in there. It isn't like people could take pictures of this video to prove for a patch. The quality is low enough to where you would be able to tell. Also when copying the movie the flicker got taken out somehow. So the tractor beam is rarely seen in the video, and the first 3 missions are in black and white for some reason. My only two ideas for sharing the video is to get myself an FTP server and have someone that wants to host it download it and share it. Or I could send the cd to Albert and he could host it on AA. But I don't know if people want to be hosting a file this large.

DEBRO Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 If you have access to usenet the use WinRAR to compress and split it then post it to a group. Please let us know where though. I'd love to see this. Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/31085-beat-thrust-contest-finished/page/6/#findComment-509365 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian M Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 I must see this for myself. Currently the later "reverse gravity" sections are giving me problems, particularly when I have the pod in tow. Must practice more, I guess.
