<p> - port0, port1 (*note C) - indicates the types of input devices. Supported values are:</p>
<p> SI_GAMEPAD = 1,</p>
<p> SI_ZAPPER = 2</p>
<p> - port2 (required) - indicates the type of the FCExp port device which was attached. Supported values are:</p>
<p> SIFC_NONE = 0</p>
<p><br></p>
<p><br></p>
<p><spanclass=rvts11>Header</span></p>
<p><br></p>
<p>String keys have values that consist of the remainder of the key-value pair line. As a consequence, string values cannot contain newlines.</p>
<p> - romFilename (required) - the name of the file used to record the movie</p>
<p></p>
<p><br></p>
<p>Hex string keys (used for binary blobs) will have a value that is like 0x0123456789ABCDEF...</p>
<p> - romChecksum (required) - the MD5 hash of the ROM which was used to record the movie</p>
<p> - savestate (optional) - a fcs savestate blob, in case a movie was recorded from savestate </p>
<p><br></p>
<p>GUID keys have a value which is in the standard guide format: 452DE2C3-EF43-2FA9-77AC-0677FC51543B</p>
<p> - guide (required) a unique identifier for a movie, generated when the movie is created, which is used when loading a savestate to make sure it belongs to the current movie.</p>
<p><br></p>
<p><spanclass=rvts12>Comments</span></p>
<p><br></p>
<p>- comment (optional) - simply a memo. </p>
<p> by convention, the first token in the comment value is the subject of the comment.</p>
<p> by convention, subsequent comments with the same subject will have their ordering preserved and may be used to approximate multi-line comments.</p>
<p> by convention, the author of the movie should be stored in comment(s) with a subject of: author</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>example:</p>
<p>comment author adelikat</p>
<p><br></p>
<p><spanclass=rvts12>Subtitles</span></p>
<p><br></p>
<p>- subtitle (optional) - a message that will be displayed on screen when movie is played back (unless Subtitles are turned off, see <aclass=rvts13href="{75E1BB96-B43D-4D24-B1C3-120890F15B94}.htm">Movie options</a>).</p>
<p> by convention, subtitles will begin with the word subtitle</p>
<p> by convention, an integer value will proceed which will indicate the frame that the subtitle will be displayed</p>
<p> by convention, a string of text will follow which will be the string displayed</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>example:</p>
<p>subtitle 1000 Level Two</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>At frame 1000 the words "Level Two" will be displayed on the screen</p>
<p><br></p>
<p><spanclass=rvts11>Input log</span></p>
<p><br></p>
<p>The input log section consists of lines beginning and ending with a | (pipe).</p>
<p>The fields are as follows, except as noted in note C.</p>
<p>|c|port0|port1|port2|</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>field c is a variable length decimal integer which is a bit field corresponding to miscellaneous input states which are valid at the start of the frame.</p>
<p>Current values for this are</p>
<p>MOVIECMD_RESET = 1</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>the format of port0, port1, port2 depends on which types of devices were attached.</p>
<p>SI_GAMEPAD:</p>
<p> the field consists of eight characters which constitute a bit field.</p>
<p> any character other than ' ' or '.' means that the button was pressed.</p>
<p> by convention, the following mnemonics will be used in a column to remind us of which button corresponds to which column:</p>
<p> B: %1d, 1 if the mouse button is pressed; 0 if not</p>
<p> Q: %1d, an internal value used by the emulator's zapper code (this is most unfortunate..)</p>
<p> Z: %d, a variable-length decimal integer; an internal value used by the emulator's zapper code (this is even more unfortunate..)</p>
<p>SIFC_NONE:</p>
<p> this field must always be empty.</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>* Notes *</p>
<p>A. There is no key-value pair that indicates the length of the movie. This must be read by scanning the input log and counting the number of lines.</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>B. All movies start from power-on, unless a savestate key-value is present.</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>C. </p>
<p>If a fourscore is used, then port0 and port1 are irrelevant and ignored. </p>
<p>The input types must all be gamepads, and the input log will be in the following format:</p>
<p> - PAL : 838977920 /256/65536 = 50.00698089599609375</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>E. The author of this format is curious about what people think of it. Please let him know!</p>
