      I'm looking to manually download video snaps for my system, rather than use the scraper. Are there any places where existing video snaps for games are available, where I can seek out specific games and download existing video snaps for them?

      Thanks!

        @grumbles I use progetto snaps for this, but bear in mind that the videos need to be recoded first, or else they won't work in OMX player. I use Handbrake for that. The videos usually take a minor hit in quality, but that doesn't bother me much, as they're only run in a tiny window.

          @grumbles Seconded on WeirdH's recommendation of progetto snaps; for everything else besides arcade games I use EmuMovies, or if they're available, a quick search for a specific system's video snaps on the Internet Archive.
