Wii Screen Recorder Okay, i had this idea to make a screen recorder that put the video straight to the sd card. First, you would load it to the hbc channel, and use it as always, you could then boot it and select screen region, quality etc etc. You would then boot your game. I had it nearly working, and then accidently reformated my sd card, so it was all lost. I am not going to redevelope it, because it was so hard for me, but i suggest someone else begin to make it.http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?17,4614,4614#msg-4614Fri, 15 May 2026 06:22:32 +0200 Phorum 5.2.23 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?17,4614,63632#msg-63632 Re: Wii Screen Recorderhttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?17,4614,63632#msg-63632ABOVE LINK IS A SHOCK SITE

Nearly two years ago I created this program that captured frames from wii gameplay. After about two years, i have perfected this program as much as i can. I feel like now i have done this much with the source code, i should pass it around to see what the community can do with it. IT DOES struggle with certain games, but perhaps it can be worked around. If you want the source, or the boot.dol visit my site:

Link Removed. Banned user.

Thanks to the people who actually submitted ideas in this topic, i tested a few of these theories, and most didn't work, but i loved the support you guys showed. If you want to see the actual process i used to encode this app, look at my site, then go to the projects page, then go tothe sourcecode page and scroll down and i actually recorded my progress.

Just wondering, but could you pull the screen capture function out of SSBB and put it into a standalone file?

Even if you could, if its a "standalone file", then running it would capture a black screen.]]> SifJar Homebrew ApplicationsSat, 29 Aug 2009 17:47:36 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?17,4614,31261#msg-31261 Re: Wii Screen Recorderhttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?17,4614,31261#msg-31261 Arikado Homebrew ApplicationsSat, 29 Aug 2009 17:35:10 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?17,4614,31255#msg-31255 Re: Wii Screen Recorderhttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?17,4614,31255#msg-31255 telmer6 Homebrew ApplicationsSat, 29 Aug 2009 16:15:17 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?17,4614,5360#msg-5360 Re: Wii Screen Recorderhttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?17,4614,5360#msg-5360 Painguy Homebrew ApplicationsSat, 20 Dec 2008 06:58:21 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?17,4614,4926#msg-4926 Re: Wii Screen Recorderhttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?17,4614,4926#msg-4926

Considering the effort that was put into that first post, I'm guessing you just want someone who can actually code to make a screen recorder. What amazes me is that, from the looks of it, it could be possible! If someone (unlike myself) can make this, it'll be a very popular Homebrew application! Although buying a capture card is more practical, people will be very excited to try this out. With all the limitations, it'll be one of, if not, the hardest app to make. Good luck to you all !]]> TwilightHacker Homebrew ApplicationsSun, 14 Dec 2008 18:13:41 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?17,4614,4898#msg-4898 Re: Wii Screen Recorderhttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?17,4614,4898#msg-4898

How do you know the quality if your PC couldn't open the file? How do you know you weren't just capturing random code/data/garbage from memory?

if i wanted someone else to make it i could have easily made a thread asking some one to make it.
Perhaps you knew that if you just asked somebody to make it for you, you'd get absolutely nobody replying to you. So you created this elaborate fantasy where parallel dimensions merge and your program takes some semi-corporeal shape, in order to convince somebody it's worth the effort, when it takes 5 minutes and £30 to buy a piece of kit to do this for you, with good quality and no latency on the Wii]]> whodares Homebrew ApplicationsFri, 12 Dec 2008 23:24:25 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?17,4614,4882#msg-4882 Re: Wii Screen Recorderhttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?17,4614,4882#msg-4882 kkrol Homebrew ApplicationsFri, 12 Dec 2008 22:45:16 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?17,4614,4881#msg-4881 Re: Wii Screen Recorderhttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?17,4614,4881#msg-4881Why the hell would his source be on his SD card?
He can't keep his story straight and 1 frame per 10 seconds still seems exagerated.

He is just making a bs story and claiming that it worked so someone else will make it because he claims it possible.

Man, you'd think we'd be able to port a Mac application(the Mac IS PowerPC based, after all), but it's probably a lot more complicated than that, isn't it?


Not necessarily... The mac went intel in 2005.

You will struggle to code it more if you aren't bothered about the result.

i also think we could get alot of help from people who programed the screen recorders for PC like Camstudio, and Hypercam, maybe they could throw something in, or suggest their ideas.
Seriously, I don't know if you're trying to prove something, but's what with these recurring references? Recording the Wii's screen is not like a PC Desktop where you can have several programs open any only want select bits.

Also, HyperCam is a commercial application, so I'd be amazed if they decided to tell you anything.

Good luck if you do actually attempt this, but even if you manage, I believe you'll find the performance so bad, it'll be useless]]> whodares Homebrew ApplicationsTue, 09 Dec 2008 22:03:05 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?17,4614,4734#msg-4734 Re: Wii Screen Recorderhttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?17,4614,4734#msg-4734All you have to do is connect a USB keyboard and hit "Print Screen" when you are ready to take your snapshot.
Then you go back to the system menu and right click on your Wiimote, which is accomplished by pressing the "B" button and select "Paste" from the context menu.
The picture is then added to the Snapshot Channel (hopefully you have downloaded it from the Wii Shop Channel already).

I had a video of this procedure and was about to upload it to YouTube when suddenly I spot what seemed like an alien spaceship hovering high above my backyard so I hurried to the Window and taped it on to of the snapshot procedure video. I mean, who's thinking about a method to take snapshots on the Wii when there is a UFO in you backyard?
Sadly, my wife taped an episode of America's Top Model on top of the UFO video so now I have neither.
