Not sure if this type of thing counts too for you list: With the SNES9X core you are able to disable the Transparency effects. This is very useful to have when TASing dark rooms, as you'll be able to easily see anyway. However, this option does not exist with the BSNES core. If that could be added somehoe, it would be nice.
I only did request [URL=https://github.com/TASVideos/BizHawk/issues/960]this[/URL] sometime ago, and pointed out the reasons why. I see it labeled as high priority. Think you can do it, Alyosha? or is there someone else already taking care of it?
Just for fun I tested SMB on my PC at home (Win10 Pro @ i7-4790K @ 4GHz) 0.0.0.1790: 186 fps 0.0.0.1791: 180 fps 0.0.0.1864: 179 fps 0.0.0.1864: ~3200 fps (QuickNES core)

If you want, I can check with him to see if that old build still causes issues on his machine and if does, I can have him run the build that's causing Sonia trouble to see if it occurs. Might help track the issue down?
Completely unrelated, but just in case you didn't see this thread already: http://forums.nesdev.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=16507 It's a FDS test rom that validates the IRQ's behavior - Bizhawk currently fails a number of the tests (which causes Kaettekita Mario Bros to crash). Should be pretty simple to fix though.
Could you please update it to the correct one?
Ah, I didn't know about joypad.setanalog(nluatable controls, [object controller = null]). Can you give an example for a table "controls" to help me understand how to use this function?
buttons = { };
analog_sets = { };
while true do
buttons = joypad.get();
analog_sets["P2 Zapper X"] = "30.5";
joypad.setanalog(analog_sets);
console.writeline(buttons);
emu.frameadvance();
endYoshi Topsy Turvy requires tilting and apparently you can't bind tilt controls to the keyboard or use lua to tilt. I think last time I brought this up, zeromus told me to use a joystick. But why should I have to use a joystick to TAS? I request that tilting be assigned to keyboard keys and/or support for tilting cntrols be added to lua.
What I suggest though, is to try to present this thing on some GDQ-like event. Running TASes on console is precisely what such events want, so why not give it to them? Then maybe some day a person with a solution moves in and saves us all, who knows...
