w00t - embed visualizations

Zac · 07-21-2005, 09:43 PM

So the post in off topic about G-Force got me thinking and I went back to check out R4 (http://www.rabidhamster.org/R4/) It embeds perfectly and is an easy way to do some kick-*** visualizations.

Out of the documentation: "To use a PC-based player like Windows Media Player, Sonique or WinAMP, make sure that either 'Record Master', 'Mixer' or 'Wave' is selected, and the Volume is set above halfway (different sound cards have different names - if in doubt, experiment)."
Mine ended up being called Wave Out Mix and it worked best when at full volume.

I attached a screenshot of Centrafuse and the volume control for reference.

Does this run well on a VIA M1000 mobo?

No clue - I use a laptop with an ATI card.

I tried it on my 1.4ghz centrino laptop with an ATI 9000 and it took 100% cpu cycles. I probably won't be putting it on my m10000

I welcome any feedback though; curious to see what kind of performance people are getting.

Hahah the creator of R4 does NOT like ATI :P

Yes runs @ 100% CPU here too with a very similar config (ati 9200 1.4 centrino.)

I have experienced it freezing once already but other than that it seems like the rest of the system is still quite responsive...but yeah I can imagine that this wouldn't run well at all on the mini-atx (?) solutions everyones using...

I can't imagine why anyone would want something so distracting in a Car! I tried this on my home PC, very cool. Thanks for sharing!

works great on my home computer. i'll see how it looks and performs on my m10k and i'll tell you guys all about it soon.

Guys I run this on my MII12000 and it was choppy at best - you need a good processor and a lot of ram if you wanna run this and a frontend

emdzey01 · 07-24-2005, 03:16 AM

damnit!

choppy at best? i got 512mb of ram on my carputer setup, you think that'll be better?

what was the window name to embed?

skydiver · 08-03-2005, 12:43 AM

run it on my cars 800 duron and a 64mb nvidia and it embeds and runs like a train i love it. window name is just "R4".

TheKingPlaza · 08-03-2005, 05:06 AM

very nice. but I think it consumes too much memory. 150 MB!!
