Weatherlover's Emulations

[Zach]

Most of his emulators are from Atlanta

You're unsure about that, are you?

He isn't lying... maybe it would help if you explored his Youtube profile...

WeatherSTAR4000 Version 3 Emulator - January 18, 2012

The song in the emulator is an unknown from August 1996 on TWC back then, I got the 2 min sample from twcclassics.com. I also tried making the audio a little more clearer in Audacity. Meh, it helped only just a little from the original. Video is attached below.

I attempted (can't stress that enough) to remake the local forecast intro from 1995, the one with the pink/purple background and the scrolling text w/ TWC's logo in the bottom right being circled around by text. It would have looked better if I could find a better high quality video to make it from, but I tried my best.

Does this look kinda VCR Quality like? I wanted to go a few steps further and give the "illusion" that someone was taping this off of a TV, but meh it started to look less realistic than this. This video was up before with music from Norman Brown called "Love's Holiday", but unfortunately the song blocks the video in certain countries. I don't mind having tagged videos (at a certain limit) but I can't have those kind of copyrighted videos on my account they raise a red flag (literally) I've had that problem twice this year and was able to fix it by removing those type of videos.

Final Draft Video
I studied over various different still images of the 4000 to get the background, blue template, extended forecast templates, and the orange titlebar as accurate as possible. The radar once again I take absolutely no credit for. That is from the 4000 v3 emulator. I'm just using it temporarily until I can finish drawing up together some county outlines/interstate outlines to go with the Intellicast radars which I'll be using as my radar source.

About half of the info is accurate, (mainly the local forecast segment)

STAR Emulation Flashback - July 3, 2009 (WeatherSTAR XL Version One)

Ah, this takes me back.  At this point, I had been doing STAR Emulations for about 13 months. I hate I didn't make backup copies of the ones I did back in June/July 2008, I lost the files.
