No, it's inside explicit tastudio logic (if (Movie is TasMovie)) that was wrong all along.

No idea why the current pub has a branch. Gonna publish this branchless and clear the old one's branch.

input duplication bug in TAStudio

Thank you!!!!!!!!! This controller test rom revealed what bizhawk fails to catch. Duplicate input is sent to the core if we're capturing new frames. It's been there forever, and now it's finally fixed. I'd just like others to test if this fix breaks everything else including completely unrelated stuff like infecting your dog with panic attacks.

Since the "score should be known to be maximum" requirement originated in my judgment of http://tasvideos.org/5478S.html I'll point out that its meaning is that we can't consider max score a version of full completion, if we're not sure it's actually full completion score-wise. This only applies to the current Vault rules, and I haven't read this thread at all.

I mean you don't have to duplicate markers, I just wonder how many places are there that you want the other user to instantly navigate through. Back in my days we had just one: taseditor can keep a single greenzone frame on your playback position. So can you work with branches for such navigation, of you need so many key frames that it's just easier with markers? Also note that tasstatemanager will probably need to get fully rewritten before this happens (it was kinda in progress).

Would it be possible to store "marker" savestates in a separate file from the main greenzone file? This way when passing a .tasproj between multiple authors, you could delete the greenzone file to reduce the file size, while keeping the marker savestates intact so they don't have to rewatch the entire project from the beginning to restore them. Also since errors that wipe the greenzone clean also delete the marker savestates most of the time, this might keep them intact when that happens as well?

See if having a branch saved at your desired frame(s?) and loading it with no greenzone at all does what you want.

I echo the prior comments for better support of the various tools, especially trace logging and eventually debugging. Beyond that, I think it would be good to have support changing controller inputs during input poll events, rather than at video frame boundaries. This might only be helpful for a few systems/games, but it's still an extra TAS capability that's not available on at least some of the cores.

Trace logging mostly just takes using some disassembler for an existing core, so it's the easiest among what you mention. Debugging isn't happening soon, because bizhawk fundamentally can't pause midframe at all, nor does it have any idea what it is. Poll-based movies are even less probable, because all cores and all movies (and all their ecosystem) are designed around frame-based movies. I'm the one interested in both of these, but it takes admin level decisions and efforts to happen. Debugging is becoming a big thing lately, more and more people request it for bizhawk, so maybe it has some chances, but you need zeromus to tell exactly.

TASeditor, I think what you're looking for is User Columns controllable from lua? With that you'll have the basic way to put ram watches into such columns, or even complicated formulas ram watch doesn't yet support. Or some text, whatever.

It would be great if the libretro MAME core becomes fully functional.

I'm at it. Like I keep saying everywhere, it is my own top priority and a reason I stopped tastudio work. But to do it fully the right way, I need time, because I'm constantly being distracted (by tasvideos duties and sometimes just resting), and because the idea is to first integrate into original mame the parts it needs out of what we need back from it, then we can start either improving the libretro layer, or directly adopt the libretro'd mame core and do whatever we want with it.

How about this? https://github.com/ekeeke/Genesis-Plus-GX/issues/172 https://github.com/ekeeke/Genesis-Plus-GX/pull/173 GPGX merged super accurate new YM emulation code and has already made it optional for libretro, the plan is to merge it into MAME too I think. This is so far the frontier of science, and it's already implemented. YM3438 was used in some Megadrive 2s, so makes sense to make it optional, as they did, and probably even default to it. This latter part should be discussed at #bizhawk if you feel like merging this thing into our gpgx. Makes sense to also ask natt's opinion.

The console outputs huge overscan that is mostly visible on tv, and after stretching, the original game screen ends up being stretched horisontally up to something around 16:10.5.

Are the numbers you end up using for ARC equal to these? Otherwise, I'm unsure about either option, but the overscan area sometimes has a certain color instead of black, so it at least has some value in my eyes. Now, with aspect ratio becoming editable from the batch call, you can just dump without overscan and then give the clip the right AR. Probably we could allow both ways. Need to know the filesize diff I think, ideally for a scene with black overscan area and for one with non-black.

The answer does apply. AVI writer is where you find which buffer you need to grab. It's at native res by default. You can hash the contents of the buffer and store the hashes, then only compare them instead of the whole framebuffer.

Hi guys. Thanks for your efforts! Finally we have a system to incorporate all your translations into, can someone please tell what posts here can be used to put on actual translation pages, since I have 0 knowledge of Japanese? Ideally the ready-to-go translations should be put on https://pastebin.com/ in their intended form, but I won't have problems with using what's there already too. Halp :)

Yep. We use internal replay format for Doom, since it can be tested against original Doom on a PC. And such runs would still be obsoleted by fully emulated DOS, since it won't have the limitations and downsides of the internal replay system. This WiiU thing is just too hard to apply to tasvideos practices. I don't really know of any way to resolve this, since I don't think accurate WiiU emulation is achievable just to replay those files as intended. 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... Once again, fantastic job with this whole thing!
