Question 
Hello!

Is it possible to set the format of framedumps, and the resolution? need quite a lot for a personal project, but also don't have very much bandwidth or storage space in the place i'm uploading them to and as such am trying to get them to save as 960x540 jpegs. if not i can always just tweak them manually before uploading, but it'd still be nice to just have them ready when they're saved.

Thanks! Smile

Dolphin's frame dump feature records a video. Are you referring to this feature, or the screenshot functionality? Because saving a video as a series of JPEG images is not very efficient.

I know it's not very efficient, but i need pictures of specific segments where it'd be really awkward to hit the screenshot key and all the recording software i've tried stutter and drop frames like nobody's business and i have 200gb of space sitting unused.

Hm... Well, you can get Dolphin to output each frame as a PNG file when using frame dumping by setting DumpFramesAsImages = True under [Settings] in GFX.ini, but I'm afraid there's no support for JPEG.

As for the sizes, if you disable Graphics > Advanced > Dump at Internal Resolution, the resolution of the saved images will be determined by the size of the game window. So you can resize the window to a small size to make the saved images small.

ah thank you. gave it a whirl and it works great, but has quite a bit of slowdown. looks to be an issue with ram allocation (ram's an absolute straight line at 50% usage) but i'm gonna have to figure that one out myself.
