Hmm... didn't notice how old this thread was. Perhaps all of the replies since 2009 should be merged into the new thread, since there really should only be one of these...

(Copied from the other thread, since that one was actually very old and should be closed. Delete this reply if the 2009 replies in the other thread are merged with this thread.)
Hmm... apparently AngerFist forgot to post any of the discussion that went on between him and people on the Dolphin IRC today [Wednesday] or, at least, the link to the new TAS feature request on Google Code.
So here's the link to the feature request that AngerFist wrote requesting TAS features for Dolphin (it's already been accepted too!): http://code.google.com/p/dolphin-emu/issues/detail?id=502
Some quotes from AngerFist in the TASVideos IRC (in chronological order; unnecessary dialog removed):
AngerFist wrote:
oh my god guys!
I have huge news regarding dolphin :D
they plan to implement frame advance and most importantly, RE-RECORDING!!!
they are asking me tons of questions
what shocked me was that 1 head developer immediately began asking what tas is
and said oh right, that shouldnt be too difficult
:D
<nakee> AngerFist: wee I'm not sure that's possible
<JPeterson> AngerFist: Well, okay, I think the frame stepping and input recording may be fairly easy to fix
<nakee> AngerFist: not unless you do it in single core
<nakee> we can't even make a perfect save state
<nakee> which I think is elemetry for them
sorry for the spam
but that basically summons the entire discussion
once they figure a way to make savestates bulletproof, it should be easier for them to add rerecording features.
<nakee> AngerFist: if you open an issue about it, explaining exactly what need to be done in small steps there is a good chance people will write the code
Of course, who knows when these features will be implemented. As AngerFist noted, it may not be looked at much until the save state system is established and proven to be solid.
Anyway, this feature request is currently ranked as low priority, but they may notice if a lot of people star the issue ticket :)

ok, we got it the first time, no need to copy/paste the exact same words into an identical thread.
And yes, everyone is wetting their pants waiting for development, just like you are. So no need to remind us.
