DevHook: Screen\Video Capture Module by ADePSP
Beta Version: 0.1



This is a module for Devhook that extends the functionality of the existing screenshot module. Taking and modifying the code for the Video Recorder from the LCS CheatDevice by Edison Carter I have adapted it into a prx module so it can be used with DevHook.

You are no longer limited to taking animated GIF clips in Liberty City Stories. It can now be done in any game you like. You can even capture out of game clips such as game menus, loading animations and even the XMD.

You can record video in normal mode (half the screen size) or advanced mode (full screen size) and all files will be saved to the PSP/PHOTO folder. It is recommended you use normal mode as advanced mode slows the game down a lot and makes it difficult to play.

The animated GIF files are uncompressed so make sure you have plenty of memory stick space in order to store them (don't worry, if you run out of space the module will simply stop working). You can compress the GIF files massivly without loosing any quality using the GIFAnimator.exe program provided. It is a very good idea to do this if you intend to post your clips on forums.

REQUIREMENTS

* Firmware 1.5
* Devhook by Booster

KNOWN ISSUES

* Doesn't currently work with all games because of resolution problems but most modern games work. If you see a blue bar when recording instead of a green one the capture will be corrupted. The following games have be confirmed NOT to work,

- Teken
- Dynasty Warriors
- Splinter Cell
- World Tour Soccer Demo

* Has been known to sometimes crash if recording when a game is loading. There is no danger here it's just annoying. Try to avoid recording when games are loading up.

CONTROLS

Music Button = Take ScreenShot
HOLD Music Button = Stop Recording Video
Right Shoulder Button + Music Button = Start Recording Video
Right Shoulder Button + Left Shoulder Button + Music Button = Start Recording "Full Screen" Video

INSTALLATION

If you have Windows simply run the Install.exe file provided and follow the on screen instructions.

If you have any problems using the Install.exe file or are a non Windows user you need to do the following,

* Copy capture.prx to the <PSP_DRIVE>:\dh\kd folder

* Edit each of the following files,

  <PSP_DRIVE>:\dh\150\flash0\kd\pspbtcnf.txt
  <PSP_DRIVE>:\dh\150\flash0\kd\pspbtcnf_game.txt
  <PSP_DRIVE>:\dh\150F\flash0\kd\pspbtcnf.txt
  <PSP_DRIVE>:\dh\150F\flash0\kd\pspbtcnf_game.txt
  <PSP_DRIVE>:\dh\200\flash0\kd\pspbtcnf.txt
  <PSP_DRIVE>:\dh\200\flash0\kd\pspbtcnf_game.txt
  <PSP_DRIVE>:\dh\250\flash0\kd\pspbtcnf.txt
  <PSP_DRIVE>:\dh\250\flash0\kd\pspbtcnf_game.txt
  <PSP_DRIVE>:\dh\260\flash0\kd\pspbtcnf.txt
  <PSP_DRIVE>:\dh\260\flash0\kd\pspbtcnf_game.txt
  <PSP_DRIVE>:\dh\271\flash0\kd\pspbtcnf.txt
  <PSP_DRIVE>:\dh\271\flash0\kd\pspbtcnf_game.txt

  If you only want to use this module when emulating 2.6 firmware then you only need to edit these files,

  <PSP_DRIVE>:\dh\260\flash0\kd\pspbtcnf.txt
  <PSP_DRIVE>:\dh\260\flash0\kd\pspbtcnf_game.txt

  In each file find the line that contains screenshotbmp.prx. If you find that line then replace the whole line with,

  ms0:/dh/kd/capture.prx

  If you can't find a line with screenshotbmp.prx in it then find the line that reads,

  ms0:/dh/kd/devhook.prx

  After that add a new line that reads,

  ms0:/dh/kd/capture.prx
