I'm about to sell off a couple games that I'm no longer interested, but before doing so I was wondering if there was anyway to extact some of the exclusive, bad-ass artwork and that can only found in these games' gallery modes, like "Capcom Classics Collection" Volumes 1&2 for example. I know that with videos and music you can simply record it with a TV Tuner/sound card connection, right?
Any help would be appreciated.
have you tried looking around the internet? it seems to me someone probably has done this already if its possible.
I see two ways you could do it: bootleg or legit
first, the legit way: somehow you would have to obtain the source files and convert them into a computer readable format. I don't even know if this is possible because it depends how they are coded.
the bootleg way: simply use a video capture device, take a screenshot of the video, save it, done. The only problem here is that if your card is crappy it will be very low resolution and possibly have static, so its up to you to keep that from happening.
from what I understand, once games (at least with older games, but I think new games too) are exported into their commercial form it is basically impossible to convert them back to source, hence why people get excited when a company releases the source code to old games and they get ported over to every console imaginable. I say try it the capture way and see how it turns out.
I see. Problem is that the artwork and whatnot that's usually included in games' extra mode is much more than a screen-length wide.
then do it in parts and combine them in photoshop (or GIMP if you want to do it free :) ).Quote:
