You can count frames.
timer = emu.frameadvance()+60
Check the framecount every frame, and if it's equal to your timer, fire your event.

In the last video linked above it's explained that with 2 players, you can't skip enemies at all, and that's the greatest timesaver so far. Also, sinister tells how long it takes to kill the other player once he spawns: it costs quite some time so that the warp skip isn't so huge after all. Probably, since this game has tons of enemies compared to the NES one, it won't be productive to have 2 players most of the time.

There's also a whole bunch of scripts that go with fceux emulator. Its lua api is mostly similar to snes9x's, so you might want to check those scripts out too. Lua got me into emulator coding, so it's a valuable skill for a newcomer to gain, and it indeed starts with tweaking of others' scripts. One just needs to have access to all kinds the scripts that already exist.

Yes, the site allows to have 2 movie files co-exist in a publication, though maybe it required a hack.

You have autorestore off?

The way taseditor does it is this: if the green arrow is in greenzone, it won't pause there, otherwise it will. That way AnS worked around my problems by adding some real logic: if I'm editing, I need it to stop at the last frame after each edit, so that I could evaluate the outcome; and if I'm just watching, to evaluate the fashion, it won't pause there to not break the real-time pace.
I haven't specifically tested, but I'm pretty sure you can't tell taseditor to stop pausing on an ungreenzoned green arrow, either with autorestore on or off. Autorestore means it will just autorun to there. Pausing there isn't optional.

Also another request: Can the "keep paused" until mouse button released be removed? I know there was and argument that this boosts the rerecords, but usability should be favoured.
Describe the situation.

I don't fully understand. The autopause feature has been there forever.

If I pause the game and go back to change an input, then TAStudio marks where it last left off with a little arrow... and the part that truly throws off my rhythm is that it will pause the game once it hits that arrow. Is there a way to stop that marker arrow from being created?
How would you even optimize if it never pauses at the last position? How to compare the outcome without this ability to return to the same exact frame?

Re: virbualtoy. They all look like complete shit to me, so I don't really know which one is better/accurate.

Are you using an official release? If so, open the file with the latest 7-Zip and remove the GreenZone file. If you're using an interim I provided in the tastudio thread, then it simply must work right away.

I want to take a break from publishing, need to concentrate on an article I'm writing.

Interestingly, mvtools 2.5.11.3 crashes for me with Osman HD encode, when I use original aspect ratio. It doesn't when I pick 4:3, even though the source is 4:3 already, and sar options aren't used in HD command line!
2.5.11.20 doesn't crash.
I was just about to debug, but since I worked around it, nah.

Sorry, no Desert Bus will ever be published. Superplay requires some room for being super, losing quality standards doesn't make the site better overall.

You don't have to be there all the time. Just log in from time to time (like me). The result is just easier than constant PRs.
