Now in the description, I said that I used ShareX as the recording software for this video. Let me elaborate on why I used *that* tool and not OBS Studio, the one I normally use. The reason is plain and simple: OBS Studio cannot record the Prevue software running on WinUAE without it freezing every now and then. At least, on my computer. I've used OBS Studio ever since I recorded my first Prevue emulation video (with the July 4, 2021 listings). From personal experience, it has not been pleasant for me. Just about every time, with the exception of PC Prevue, getting the thing to record a full video on the first try by the time I've deemed enough footage was recorded for me to press "Stop" was daunting. If it did just that, it would be all but a miracle. And that's even after using FFMPEG encoding in OBS Studio itself. ShareX, which also uses FFMPEG, is lightweight, yet it does a more stable job at doing the same thing that OBS Studio does when it comes to recording a small emulation window. I've tested it a few times, and I haven't run into any roadblocks with it at all. In fact, when I first ran it with the Prevue software running, it recorded just under 10 minutes of footage. Not bad... until I realized that I had DST saved in the software, which set the listings an hour ahead of where they should be. Second try without DST... 25 minutes, in one go. No slowdowns or anything. Something that OBS Studio somehow isn't capable of doing with WinUAE also running on my computer (yet it is capable of doing that with DOSBox and DOSBox-X, which is weird, since both pieces of software have essentially a Windows 95 VM running PC Prevue).
Hey DJ. It’s been awhile. I hope you’re still fine with making prevue emulations, because I have a lot of requests for you. You can choose the providers, but I choose the locations and the software (and for amgia, the type of mode). Here is my load of requests. California: Northridge, amiga prevue grid mode. Pasadena, amiga prevue list mode. New York: Nanuet, pc prevue. Hicksville, Amiga prevue grid mode. North Carolina: Pineville, Amiga prevue grid mode. Illinois: Springfield, Amiga prevue list mode. Naperville, pc prevue. Rockford, Amiga prevue list mode. Ohio: Cincinnati, epg jr. Canada: Mississauga Ontario, Amiga prevue grid mode. Kentucky: Louisville, pc prevue. Bowling Green, pc prevue. Maryland: Hagerstown, pc prevue. Tennessee: Madison, Amiga prevue list mode. Texas: Harlingen, pc prevue. Florida: Naples, pc prevue. Pensacola, epg jr. And that’s all my requests. Sorry if this sounds like a lot, or if some sound completely undoable.

This is really cool. Great work!

I forgot one. TH-cam can’t let me edit for some reason so I’m gonna reply.
Washington (state): Lynwood, Amiga prevue list mode.
I'll take care of them one by one. Sorry for the delay.
