Windows Users: Mednafen is command line only. This can be cumbersome but there are some options.

Configuring mednafen commandline properties

Mednafen-Front is packaged with mednafen to make it easier to use mednafen-rr via commandline. For more details see MednafenFront.

To start a movie, specify a movie file in the Movie field of the Movie Tab. Then specify a Rom name in the Rom field of the General tab and click launch mednafen.

Alternate methods

Another method is to create a shortcut to mednafen then right-click the shortcut and go to properties. Add the commandline options to the target line.

Another option is to download Let's Mednafen: http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=ja&u=http://lhsp.s206.xrea.com/works/frontend.html However, it does not have movie making options.

Load up lmednafen, then set up your window settings. Then in the "other command-line" box, add -mov yourmoviename

This will load your movie into memory when mednafen loads (or create one if it doesn't exist). Then go to File > Loading files to select your game.

Starting a movie

All users:

Once mednafen is launched, you can begin recording by pressing shift+R, or to playback the movie, press shift+P. To toggle read-only status, press shift+T.

To reassign your controller buttons press shift+alt+1 (for player 1) To reassign hotkeys press shift+alt+h + the hotkey you wish to modify
