The oldest version of FRAPS I can find is 1.9d, and it doesn't seem to run under W95. Is there an earlier version that does, or another app that will work?
Also I doesn't appear that Fraps works in Glide - is this true?
Fraps doesn't work in glide mode at all, been there and tried it. You can get screen capture but not any recording.
On a far away planet reading your posts in the year 10,191.
Only way to capture Glide games is either to run them in a wrapper and then capture with Fraps or buy a VGA capture device.
hmmm.. how about an FPS counter for W95? Should v1.9d be working? It does in W98se..
I also recommend a VGA capture device. These are PCIe cards and quite affordable (though not dirt cheap). A cheaper option are VGA to -S-video converters (lower quality though but often good enough).
Alternatively there's many Voodoo3's with S-video out. Only real problem is their EGA/VGA handling leading to garbled images
Of course, s-video capture quality varies a lot and it only works best at native NTSC 720x480. some 720x480 XL-R8R footage
Very nice!
I have tried heaps of cards with S-Video out (no 3D cards though) and most have issues at certain resolutions or settings. That's the main reason why I use the VGA to S-Video converter. It takes whatever resolution and records it in acceptable quality.
But for specific captures direct S-Video from the cards gives the best quality. PAL cards have higher resolution but lower frame rate.
1.9d runs fine in my win95
@ Putas - thanks, thats what I would think. I need to troubleshoot my setup..
I wouldn't bother with old Fraps because of the 30fps max and also the terrible speed of writing to a old FAT12/16/32 drive might be excruciating while playing.
And for the record, Fraps doesn't work on SGL either. 😀
Clarification; I only looking for an FPS counter, not a recorder. Something to gauge game performance tweaks...
