It was coded from scratch and has nothing to do with fceux's legacy, so I think it doesn't apply.

Add that return statement and Perfect Dark should work as well as it says on the website...
which is, every time you finish a mission, press "Decline", as "Accept" causes the
game to stop responding.
So a brief story of what was done.
Wyster started a TAS on Mupen64, with resets, that never synced for him.
bkDJ reported he managed to sync it while dumping AVI. Once.
nfq finished the project and submitted in 2011, with segmented encode.
No one ever managed to sync it since then.
Mupen64plus core was ported to BizHawk in 2013, it was way more stable than old Mupen64, but Perfect Dark wasn't still working on it. That happened, because when the core was released in BizHawk, it was upgraded to version 2.0, which was the version where Perfect Dark broke in Mupen64plus.
After nfq reported the game doesn't work in BizHawk, we were under the impression that it does work in original mupen64plus.
I asked micro500, the main person behind N64Hawk, to help, but he was very busy with ADGQ 2017 stuff.
I remembered how I did a hacky trace log (that only logged the PC register) to Genesis+GX core, which didn't have the disassembler, and that helped me to fix a bug in its internal savestates that was breaking determinism.
I decided to add trace logger to Mupen64plus too, and after I did so, I was in a mood to add it to PSX and Saturn as well, all of those are released now.
After the release, I decided to actually try fixing Perfect Dark with the trace logs I did, but it all wasn't making sense, buttons that caused the game to freeze did affect gameplay, so it was impossible to figure out what is intended and what is not, no matter how well you compare the trace logs.
I asked null_ptr to help, he spend an evening debugging it and couldn't help but assume it's related to events.
I started testing this game again on other frontends using Mupen64plus, and finally discovered this bug is present in m64p 2.0, but not in earlier or later versions!
The fix was found back in 2013, but it seems it was only applied in 2015.
See how googling for a few minutes resolves the problem that was there (in different forms) since... 2008?

2nd I don't know how, but I made a movie that when I click somewhere, it always go back to the 0th frame instead of the clicked frame.
Fixed.

3rd: So here is the situation: I am TASing a game and have to manage lag. So I avoid lag by jumping in X frame. When I replay it from 0th frame, a lag magically appear. By deleting and reinserting a frame before, the lag is gone. So to make sure I did not mess up my movie, I will have to watch it from beginning every single jumps I do... Not practical.
You definitely should post an issue with your project linked and describe what steps create different lag picture.

Easier repro steps for what I think is the same bug:
* Clone, insert, delete, etc any frame of a project
* CTRL+Z
This is the only problem I've run into so far and it's at least one that can be easily recovered from.
Works fine for me.

Cause a fatal error:
This is some test with few greenzone states, so set it up so it only has 5 or less of them, I tested on SNES. State gap was 0, but probably doesn't matter.
Add branch 0
Playback for a few 20+ frames, so the greenzone near branch 0 dissapear
Add branch 1
Load branch 0
Load branch 1
Load branch 0
Playback
Works fine for me.

Finally used! By how it looks, probably memory corruption might be done faster, but I don't want to dig into this.

Would be insane if this thing became a part of an emu. Feels very close to antialiasing, resolution increasing and anisotropic filtering, but towards audio!
I don't expect that to ever happen though, so just leaving it here for people to enjoy, if someone hasn't seen it yet.

What's the whole message of the exception? Note: not loaded libraries, just the first paragraph.

I tested my delegates thing and it still gives zero speedup overall, so whatever.

Sadly, many games are incompatible with Gnash for the simple fact that they use the modern actionscript vm.
There are other flash player replacements, but I have no idea how much they like hourglass.
Gnash is shit, Lightspark too, the only thing that's really stable and compatible is flashplayer.exe itself, it just needs to be figured out what is lacking to support it. I discussed that with Warepire and he's just busy with usual HGR stuff, so we might get to this later when he has more free time (or helpers).

I tried it a bit starting a fresh PSX project (that I saved, loaded, edited), and it behaved normally. But I observed something like this with N64 before. Can you figure out the exact repro steps for PSX?
It happens every time I play the TAS I'm working on. Do you want to try playing my WIP to see if it happens for you as well?
Fixed, update your build.

Wait what, NesHawk works at full speed again for me?! It was running at 20fps even after building the Release target!

The first post on this page addresses that, you have to tas flashplayer.exe whom you pass the command to launch your game, but the program itself doesn't yet work in hourglassR. It is closed source, so it might be hard to debug, but in theory tasing it might be possible.

I could, but my system's not really set up for it (haven't found a decent video editor that doesn't cost anything, feel free to pm me suggestions), and I don't think it's worth it to track down the game just so I can watch for <2 minutes.

I described what happens there in Russian here: https://sourceforge.net/p/feos-tas/wiki/GameEnd/
If google translate doesn't work well for you, I'll translate it and put on the Battletoads resource page. We have this game disassembled to atoms, so it should be very doable. We could move to another thread with this if you want.
Console verifiable Battletoads is what we couldn't afford for all these years, and we mostly know exactly why! It rolls rng subroutine all the free time cpu has, and that varies from emu to emu and from emu to console.

As we discussed on IRC, history is completely broken, and no one understands it except the author, who isn't active anymore. We should do the same as with smart seeking logic: simply port AnS's ideas from taseditor. This will stabilize things, but it's a lot of work, and I have other projects, that deserve to get attention after this huge release and continuous efforts.

I suggest fixing the core to make Battletoads "game end glitch" work on console. No idea what it'd require though.
Also, speed it up a bit probably? Would be interesting to know what can be done on that matter after my speedup ideas totally failed.

People say that core lacks savestates, is it true?

If it was up to me, I'd remove submission support and announce it right away, but staff might probably want to give a timeout.

There's a started port of ppsspp in bizhawk, dunno what would be the percentage of completion, but isn't it easier to base on something already started?

Watched a playthrough of this cool game not so long ago, just subscribing to the thread. This one is definitely better than "The Game".
